How to wirte a blog post?

 Writing a blog post is as easy as you guys think. Teenager have a habit of posting blog story about school life and etc. But they tend to use short form to represent some words and also tend to have alot grammer error. this is what I did too. Here to say that writing a good blog post is very difficult.

Get out of your ways
Do you remember writing term papers in high school or college? If you don't,lucky you! If you do , then writhing blog posts is going to be a difficult task for you. You have to ignore all things that your professors taught you about writing.

You aren't here to write a term paper, you are here to create a conversation!

If my blog posts sounded as if I was talking to you instead of to you, wouldnt you get bored and irritated with me? Make sure you do the same and talk to your readers and not to them.

Know what you want to write about
Before you start writing the first word, you have to know what the last word is going to be. I don't mean this in a literal fashion, but you have to know you are going to start off your blog post, the point you are going to convey, abd how you are going to wrap everything up.

If you are one of those people that likes to wing things and be spontanous, that's great. As one of those people, I realized that is doesn't work well with blogging. All it will cause is you to spend more time writing than you need.

Plus, I am pretty sure you are already strapped for time. Right? So why waste of it.

Create an awesome title
So are you ready to start writing now. Wrong! Until you come up with an awesome title, you shoudn't start writing your post. You could have the greatest content, but if your title sucks, most people won't end up reading it.

Hook your readers
You only have a few second to grab people's attention. If you can't grab someone attention with the first few sentences you write, you have to lost them.

The way I hooked you reading this far was though:

1. I created a conversation with you
2. I showed you taht anyone could write a post, which makes you feel taht you can do it.
3. I enticed you to read further bu alluding to fact taht not everyone writes great post.

Wrap it up
Remember in school how your professors told you to summarize what you wrote in your conclusion? that works great for an essay, but it doesn't work well in a blog post.

 I take a 3 prong approach with my conclusions:
1. Keep it simple stupid: good conclusion aren't long, they are short and to the point.
2. add your final thoughs: don't just get regurgitate what you talk about with teh post, but say something new and meaningful.
3. leave thinng open: if you want to get more comments on you blog, you have to leave you conclusion open. The easiest way to do this is by asking readers a question.

To sum up, just follow this all steps will help you in the way how to write a good blog post.
