Blogging Made Easy: 4 Important Parts of a Blog Post

There are 4 important parts of a blog post.

1.    The Title
The title of your blog post needs to grab your reader’s attention and it is that title that draws your readers in and makes them want to read your post. This is where you want to make it short and to the point. Your title should be what your post is about.

Look at the title as though it is a headline just like a newspaper.  When you read a newspaper you quickly scan the headlines and the ones that you read are the ones that grab your attention. It’s hooked you and you want to read all about it.

If you get stuck trying to find a good headline, start with ‘How to …’ or ‘The secret to…’ or ‘Discover the most important … to…’

2.    The Body
The body of your post can vary in length from 350 to 950 words. The norm these days is about 750 words.  It doesn’t matter how long your post is, what matters is the content. Content that is informative and valuable to your reader.

A couple of things to keep in mind will writing your posts is to have short sentences in short paragraphs as this is much easier for reading and keeping the reader interested.

Use images, photos or add a video to help illustrate your point.

3.    Call To Action
The ‘call to action’ in the part of our blog post where you tell your visitors what they should do next. Depending on your post, this could be telling them to share your post, leave a comment or purchase what you are promoting within your post.  

The ‘call to action’ is a crucial step. It gets readers accustomed to following your directions so when it comes time to purchase your products they will.  Without a call to action they will click away from your post and move on.

4.    The tags
Tags are keywords that you add to your post just before you publish it. They appear at the bottom and describe what your post is about and help the search engines to locate you and your website.
 
There are no special tricks to blogging – create an amazing headline, add an image, include a ‘call to action’ and put your tags or keywords in and hit publish. You’re done.  Now do it again.
