How to write blog posts? – This question leaves every blogger wondering, right?
Over the years blogging has become one of the important and well known tools for earning money online.
But as a blogger, you need to understand a few things before you can start writing and thinking about earning money.
Before getting into detailed discussion, you have to understand one thing very clearly – to earn money from blog posts, you need to choose a topic that will actually help you sell things or get people interested into buying something else.
So, here are the steps to follow which can help you sell via your blog posts and make money:
What are you trying to sell?
Depending on what you are trying to sell, you will need to choose the kind of topic that will be perfect for your blog.
You will have to find out a way to create content which will solve your readers’ problem and then you will be able to direct them towards a paid offer that you wish to sell.
Do not force your product into your content rather guide your readers towards it to automatically engage them.
Who’s your audience?
Knowing your audience is really important. Understanding your audience’s need and requirement will certainly help you post something they are looking for.
This will give you chance to sell your product.
To understand your audience in a better and efficient way, you will need to follow them on social media, check out on what they are looking for, and only then you will be able to understand their requirement.
How to write blog posts? Do a bit of research
Research is always an integral part of writing content, but when it comes to blog posts, it’s a bit different from just writing some content.
Doing a good research can actually help you in finding valuable information, charts, data analysis, and a lot more that you might need to put into your content to compare and promote your product naturally.
Choosing an eye catching title
You have to understand one thing very clearly, when you readers search online for certain topics, they are not going to have a chance to read your post; instead they will have a look at your title only.
So, choosing a well crafted title is really important. This can certainly give you an edge over all your competitors online.
You main goal will be to choose a title that will answer your reader’s question, or maybe you can put up a title that will explain the benefits of particular thing or a product to a reader.
Whatever you choose, make sure that the title is catchy and it is capable of attracting your reader’s attention.
Starting the content like a Pro
Starting your content in a positive and efficient way can be the key to the fact whether the reader will continue reading or not.
It does not matter how intriguing or engaging your title is, having a good start is the only way to keep your readers engaged.
You can start with a nice success story, or may be with some questions, may be share some stats, or even starting with a myth is really great to get the attention of your readers.
Setting up the call to action
This is the most important part of your blog writing. You will have to find out the right situation to inject your call to action button or may be link.
For this you might have to use some statistical comparisons as well, so that at the end you can put the call to action naturally.
Show your credibility and expertise
There is no shame in putting in some words about your experience, expertise, and capabilities.
This might actually help your readers to understand what you are up to, what kind of work you have done, or what kind of credibility you have to discuss a particular topic.
Putting on social media links for direction communication is welcomed by the users as well.
Introduce the solution
You can just put your solution or the product right away in your content. You will have to put it in a Q&A format.
Ask a question that might interest the reader and then you can actually put forth your solution.
This should not be forced into the content; the reader knows that it’s an obvious fact to find a solution of your choice at the end of the content, but you should not make it an obvious choice.
Make sure to include it naturally and discuss the situation or the problem genuinely to reach out to your readers a bit more.
Engage the call to action
The call to action is not something that you can put in just as a link and hope that your readers will be interested in buying or following your choice of solution.
For this you will need to do some homework, make sure you design it well to attract the user, and then only you can hope for the best.
Provide enough proof to strengthen your sale
Users are ready to visit your blog posts on a regular basis.
Some might even start following, but to ensure that your readers are getting valuable info and something that can be helpful for them, you will have to ensure that you are providing enough proof to strengthen your writings or your claims.
Make sure to include stats from different sites and reviews as well, so as to consolidate your claims.
In case any well-known social media figure has said something about your product or solution, remember to put it as a quote which will really be an additional touch to your blog.
So, now that you know how you can put your blog post to good use and make sure you are able to sell products via every post you make, get ready with your resources, and get going with your blogging.
Be smart, be brave, and blogging will certainly bring you the success you need.
