Ask
yourself: What should I do to help people
solve particular problems of their life? This might be a good question to
ask, most particularly if you want to write blogs. Bloggers are self-proclaimed
problem solvers. They are writing contents published on the web to help people
remedy their daily dilemmas. So, like them, before writing your own blog, you
must also ask the same question as theirs.

Ascertaining
the purpose of writing a powerful blog post is necessary. By doing this, you
will be enlightened, in one way or another, on what, why and how to write. This
purpose should serve as the guide and light on how you are going to come up
with certain facts and information you will provide to your audience through
the Internet.
The
preliminary facts shown will lead you to another question: How to write powerful and capturing blogs? To answer this, you are
advised to take a look and understand the pieces of information mentioned in
the subsequent contents.
The Basic Steps In Writing
Blog Posts
- Think of the right topic.
Thinking of the
right topic is the first step. It is quite significant. Why? This is where you
are going to draw your contextualized blog. You have to contextualize your
entire content, based on a chosen topic. It must really be specific and related
to a certain problem.
- Gather facts online and even offline.
Before writing
your blog post and publish it on the web, you should gather the necessary facts
and information. This is where you are going to extract the pieces of details
you really need to explain the chosen topic. There are 2 sources of facts,
online and offline. Online, you can read certain facts about certain things.
For instance, if you are going to write a blog about how to cure diabetes
naturally, you can use the Internet to have the substantial facts.
Offline, you can
do library-based research in gathering the details and information related to
your topic. You can read relevant books about diabetes, for example. This will
deepen your understanding of the chosen topic before writing the entire
content.
Then, you have
to also take original pictures, in order to add additional explanations.
Picture can provide visual insights and depictions. You can also get relevant photos
from the web. But, you have to be very careful in choosing images online, since
there are images that are copyrighted. In this case, you should know about
attributing to the owner of the images to avoid legal repercussions.
- Interview people who have knowledge about your topic
(optional).
Although this is
optional, you can still do personal interviews with people who have knowledge
about your topic. Back to our example about diabetes, you can have an interview
with a health expert or a doctor. If you know someone, who is expert with your
topic, you can optionally get facts and information directly from him or her.
- Make the necessary outline.
When you have
the facts and information at hand, you should start now writing your own piece.
But, writing an outline should be the first thing you do. The outline will
serve as your structural guide. With this, you can easily complete the topic of
your choice.
- Write the blog using the inverted pyramid approach
with a very capturing title.
This is a very
important approach in writing. For most writers, they choose the inverted pyramid
style, where the most important facts are written first, followed by the least
important. Through this process, you will present the details and information
based on their weight, relevance and coherence. Although this is popular in press
release writing, this author deeply believes that by using this approach, you
can catch the interest of your readers to read completely your content.
- Put bullets especially in how-to-do blogs.
In specifying
steps, specifically in how-to-do blogs, you should apply the bulleting
technique. Putting bullets to explain particular steps is quite important. It
provides your reader a clearer picture of your article, how it helps them solve
their individual problems.
- Start and end the blog by citing its significance and
relevance to the human problems.
This is just a
reiteration of the importance of ascertaining the purpose why you write a blog
article. The start and end of your content should emphasize why you write it.
So, it implies citing the significance of your write-up to your readers.
The specific steps in
writing blogs will make your write-ups so vivid and clear to your audience. The
steps presented will easily lead you to come up with effective and powerful
blog posts, which can aid people in addressing their particular problems and
dilemmas.
