How to Write Your First Blog Post

How to Write Your First Blog Post – Writing content for your blog is only good if you can get people to read it. Therefore, this is something to aim for from your first post onwards.

Having great writing skills is not really necessary to have a successful blog. It helps to be able to write well, but that is only a part of what blogging is all about.

What will draw people to your website is offering them exciting topics that they want to read about. Give your works great titles so people will be rushing to click on your links.

Clickbait

If you’ve been around the internet long enough then you have run into clickbait articles or videos. Clickbait titles are done on purpose to mislead you.

Using words like ‘shocking’,’ transform’ or ‘it changed my life’ in your title is one way to get people to click on your link. Most people will be curious to see if your title lives up to its promise.

While clickbait is very effective in generating a ton of hits for you, it is often misleading and can hurt you in the long run. Disappointed readers will make an effort to remember to stay away from your website…they are tired of being lied to.

People may stay and read your article, or watch your video, but if it doesn’t live up to the hype of your title, they won’t stick around, and won’t come back to your site either.

Using clickbait is great if you can figure out how to use it honestly. And, it can be done!

Honest Clickbait

So, what makes clickbait successful? Clickbait promises you that you will see something most people have never seen before. This would be great if the content actually matched the title.

There may be millions of websites all across the internet, however, many of them lack original content. How many sites can you visit that offer you the same ten to twenty ways to eat healthy to lose weight? They all say the same thing and offer up the same recipes and exercise routines.

If eating healthy is your passion, then build your blog around this subject matter. Discover your special insights to share with your readers.

What’s The Catch?

When researching how to write your first blog post, the ‘secret’ to success is to find something interesting that no one else has yet to offer.

Besides that, write about your passions in ways that will entertain your readers, as well as teach them whatever wisdom it is you offer. You must lien on your individuality.

Your healthy eating blog could offer articles and videos such as:

‘My child made the best grilled steak salad.’

‘Chocolate brownies: a diabetic love story.’

‘Why deprive yourself? Eat what you want and still maintain a healthy you.’

These titles will spark their interest because they promise the reader something different. Give them quality content that they are looking for. Don’t mislead your audience. If you do, the damage will be real.

Good content that matches your clickbait titles is the best way to build your fan base, and build your reputation.
