6 Tips To Write Better Blogs And Articles

1. Write about a topic you already know about

In “ How to Write a Blog Post in 6 Steps: A Beginner’s Guide ”, we talked about a blog post writing process. One of the steps was coming up with a topic first. If you don’t have a blog yet, try brainstorming on topics that you already know about (or simply choose from one of the topics in step two). It’s easier to write about something you already know and are passionate about.

Writing about something you already know about seems like a good idea. When choosing topics for your blog posts, look around you and ask yourself: what do I find interesting? What do I know about it? Maybe you love drinking tea and you also know a lot about it? Then writing about that could be a great idea.

2. Brainstorm ideas and make a list of them.

In a mad dash to the finish line, it’s easy to forget that everything starts with an idea. Many bloggers are so eager to start posting right away that they don’t take time to stop and think about what they want to discuss. Or they come up with a topic, but then never find time (or motivation) to get around to it. Brainstorming is the process of gathering many potential topics and trying them out to see which ones you like best. Once you finish, you'll have a list of ideas for all kinds of posts for your blog.

Next, come up with a list of possible topics you could write about. If you've never made a website before and don't know much, then this is even more important. Figure out what's interesting to you and get started. You don't need to know everything and there's lots of information online that covers the basics when starting out.

3. In general, long-form content is better than short-form content.

In general, long-form content is better than short-form content because it should answer a question, solve a pain point, and explain something that the consumer will benefit from. When people are searching it is because they want to find an answer. If you can answer their questions without them needing to seek out other information sources, then you have delivered real value in your piece of content.

Hugs are better than Handshakes, Lattes are better than Americanos and Long form content is better than short form content. Now, this isn't to say you should write a 5,000 word email to send to customers because your short 437 word emails haven't got you any complaints. But in general long form content is better here's why:

4. Break up your text with subheadings and list items, so it's easy to scan through.

One of the important aspects of writing good content is to write in a way that makes your reader’s job easy. You can do this by breaking up your content into easy to read and scan through sections with subheadings, list items, and short paragraphs.

Headings, subheadings and bulleted lists all break up the text which will make it much easier to scan through. The first time a visitor lands on your blog post, they'll have an initial reaction when they look at what you have written. The hope would be that they are interested or learn something from your article (or both).

5. Include a takeaway or call to action at the end of your blog post or article.
