Tips For Writing A Great Blog Post

by S.Pradeep Kumar on August 7, 2009





Guest Article By Dalirin

There are many different ways that you can write a blog post and every single one will come across differently to the readers. A blog is a great way to become known online. But when you don’t have great content on your blog, you would see that the amount of visitors to your blog would decrease.

For those starting out you’ll want to develop a firm topic of choice or niche. When you have a niche, you are more likely to get more generalized viewers that are finding what they want instead of having to continue searching for it.


A Few Quick Tips To Write A Great Blog Article

  • tips-for-great-blog-postHave your own opinion, but ensure its known that it’s your personal opinion
  • Don’t write overly long articles and get right to the point
  • Write catchy headlines. This would attract readers
  • Be passionate with your writing
  • Use bullet points for lists of information
  • Avoid having any spelling/grammar errors
  • Be consistent with your style of writing for each blog article
  • Don’t over use keywords



Blogs are a great way to express what you think of certain things such as products or services, and they are always a great way to get yourself known in the online world. When you can write excellent content on your blog, you’ll see the amount of people that visit your blog increase.

When you are writing a blog post, you should try to go straight to the point. Avoid making long post. You should only post long post if you want to clarify a post. Blogs are designed to allow you to show people the information you want quickly so that the viewers can find exactly what they want right away. Try using sub headings if you have longer content so that people can still quickly skim through the content you have.

For people that have blogs you should have a writing frequency i.e you can decide if you want to be posting daily or weekly. This would help your readers to know when to expect a post from you. Updating your blog regular would also help to improve your search engines ranking. This is evident with Google. Google loves fresh content. I have seen recent written articles on newspapers website rank on the first page for a difficult keyword.

You covered some valid points. I definitely think it could be expanded on. There is much more info involved in creating a stellar article. For example proofreading, writing in small paragraphs, and focusing on one idea per paragraph.

Still, it is a good article for a beginning blogger. It would be great if you could do a follow up post.

You made the basic list which is to be kept in mind by any blogger. At times, bloggers tend to forget these basic rules and make a mess of themselves and their blogs.

Thanks for sharing the list.

I guess it is important that we should blog about the topic we like rather than the topic which others like ! ;)

We can get people of our views easily !

Thanks for your first comment here Suneel ! :)

To be honest, I find that most of the time as long as you write a great article, it’s a good guest post. When I write guest posts I just imagine I’m writing for my own blog.

People will read the quality of your guest post and decide whether or not they should visit your blog, so by doing a high quality article you’re more likely to get maximum traffic!

It is good to have a clear concept of what you would write.Instead of being “neutral” to the topic it is always better to have your opinion as that might attract people who have useful input for your blog.The writer knows what the job involves and it is always right if you start right.:)

nice article, about the last point on keywords, actually over using a keyword dosenot helps much, rightly advised by you to no over use it, rather similar meaning words of the keyword works a lot better for onpage optimization,

Another good advice would be to draw the structure of posts on a paper book before writing the full post on a computer or paper.
