| 10 tips to create a great post |
This is my entry in the Problogger "How To..." Group Writing Project.
Are you one of those people who can pull a spectacular post out of thin air, capturing the attention and response of readers? One of those people who has never suffered blogger's block? Well lucky you. For the rest of us, creating a post can make blogging quite a chore, which it was never intended to be. So here are some tips to make posting a little bit easier.
1. Brainstorm: A great post just won't come to you. It takes a bit of thought, so come up with random ideas. Don't worry if some of them aren't very good. You'lll be able to fine tune them later.
2. Filter ideas: Separate the good from the bad. Make sure that you can write something on the topic. It doesn't have to be much, just something readable.
3. Save remaining ideas: There are times that you will have blogger's block. It happens to all of us. Save the remaining ideas, even the not-so-good ones. Chances are in time you'll be able to develop them into a good post, backup for the times when you just can't find the words to say.
4. Develop the idea: Fine tune it. Bounce it around in your head. Try to envision what the resulting post would be like.
5. Make jottings: Jot down whatever comes into your head relating to the idea. Doesn't matter if they don't mesh.
6. Blend the ideas: Organize your jottings into paragraphs.
7. Write the draft: Create a "sketch" of the desired post. It also helps to use the paragraphs you have written to gain further points for your post.
8. Reinforce: Use facts or figures to enhance the legitimacy of your post.
9. Edit: Check for punctuation, sentence structure, spelling, grammar, whatever.
Then finally...
10. Publish
I hope this helps you write some amazing posts.
