Blog writing is an art that needs to be mastered with time.
You need to take care of some facts while writing a blog And if you do then there will be no stopping for you
Here are my 12 secrets that I am spilling here for you all
Steal these until I monetize them :p
So without any delay, let’s check them out
The Tone of the Blog
Before writing a blog, you need to decide the tone of the blog. The tone is how you are saying things — it can be Authoritative, Educational, or Friendly.
Choose one tone before starting it and follow the same tone throughout the blog.
Catchy Blog Title
This is a must when you’re writing a blog. You can’t go with a boring title.

Then, obviously, the second one is more catchy, so write things that instantly grab the attention and make the title irresistible.
Formatting
Formatting is how you put out your blog. It’s the way your blog appears in front of the reader. A good format is what keeps the reader hooked.
Organizing the way you write words is essential too.
Enrich blog with keywords
Using keywords to rank your blog is necessary. But don’t put too many of them.
Avoid keyword stuffing otherwise, it becomes boring for the reader to read it.
Compare these two:-
- I am a writer. I write compelling content about writing. Writing has been my passion since my childhood. In case you’re looking for a writer contact me
- I am a content writer who can write compelling words for you to get your brand noticed. Would you mind getting a little more attention through the power of my words? If not then ping me
The latter one has used the given words powerfully and in limit while the former one is stuffed with keywords. so you choose which one is a better choice.
Use Storytelling
We think that blogs are meant to be educational so there is no need to do storytelling.
But
Storytelling helps you get ahead of your competitors
It helps you bind the reader until the end.
So add that tinch of storytelling in your blogs
Slippery Slide
This one is pretty interesting. I even use it for my Linkedin posts. Slippery Slide means making the reader slip onto the next line and keep him slipping till the very end.

Keep the Pointers Handy
I discussed this point in my last blog too. Keep a brief or pointer handy.
This will help you with efficiently writing the blog and making it to the mark.
You will not get lost while writing the blog. It will give you an idea about the placement of ideas too.
Proper Spacing
This point is as clear as it can get. I really don’t need to explain this one. Put spaces in equal intervals and let the blog breathe
You justcan’t stuffup words
Got it see the above line👆
Rather how about this <-
Don’t Overstuff Knowledge
See, I know you’re writing a blog to stuff it with knowledge and make the reader go crazy
But mind you
There’s a very thin line Between
Knowledgeable blog and Stuffed blog
If you will provide too much information in one blog, firstly readers won’t read it completely
And Secondly; they won’t be able to use the knowledge as they are unsure of what they read
Simplify Vocabulary
No blog is going to rank with heavy Vocabulary. Most of us have this wrong perspective that using a heavy dictionary will raise the standard of our blog
But No; it’s not going to happen
So keep the words simple so that every other person reading it can get its essence
I personally use the simplest of words in my pieces, not that I don’t know heavy words
But
I want them to be understandable by a 6th grader
Avoid too many images
You don’t need to put an image with every point you write. As a beginner; many of us tend to make this mistake.
We think that putting a lot of images will attract people but rather it repels them by breaking the flow of a reader.
Adding one or two images can serve your purpose
End on a Good Note
No matter which topic you’re talking about. End your blog on a positive note.
Let the reader make their own judgment, don’t influence their mind
You can also put a call to action at your blog ending

So, these were the 12 pointers that can work as a wonder for you if you use them right
And Remember
Writing a blog is an art but you can nail it with practice
