5 Key Factors to Write an Awesome Blog Post
What is Blog?
A blog is a type of website which mainly focuses on written content. You can write a blog on any topic or genre, or just about any topic imaginable. Through Blog posts, you are supposed to engage with people.

There is a huge misconception amongst people, that in order to write blog posts you are supposed to be a very great writer. But to be very frank, Audiences- many people read blog posts to get a personal perspective on things. Therefore there is no need to be a great writer to start a blog post, what actually needed is that you should start writing instead of just thinking.
Writing a blog post is somewhat like driving. You can study the high way code- means you can see many blog post in order to see how to write blogs.

You can write on the topic in which you have an interest, through blogs, you can share your opinions, your feelings, and your experiences. Audiences want to see your personal perspective. for example: If someone writes blogs related to food or any dishes, then they aren’t supposed to read food scientific books, because audiences want to read their actual experience, what mistakes they’ve made while cooking, how they overcome them. Because in reality, nothing is perfect
In order to engage with audiences, you are not supposed to be an expert or a great writer, instead, you are supposed to be true to them about your opinions experiences and you should have a passion towards the topic you share with them because your interest and passion towards the topic will keep them engaged and connected.

Let me share five steps with you which will help you to write an awesome blog post.
1) Objective
The very first step is planning. You are supposed to plan your blog post by choosing a topic (a topic that interests you) for example: if you like sharing knowledge then in which field you love to share knowledge-business, science, history, etc. then you are supposed to create an outline, then checking facts and conducting research (research as per your topic).
2) Create an Outline
You are supposed to create captivating catching headlines which will catch viewer’s attention and can also use Sub-headers. Means you should write all the things in one paragraph. Use different paragraphs and sub-headers inside it.
3) Don’t think
As I have said that you don’t need to be an expert or a great writer to write a blog post, but another thing you should keep in mind that Great blog post doesn’t just happen, Even the best bloggers decide before going on board, they draw a rough idea, so that they don’t get confused about what to write and how to start.
4) Extra work
Use proper images, use stories (can share your story and experiences), examples so that it attracts viewers attention. As we all know that humans are more attracted to great stories, examples and beautiful photos. Hence to make your post look appealing, don’t overuse photos in your post. Because anything extra ruins the taste, know to balance your work.
5) Final cut
After writing a blog post, do self-editing or make others read your work, someone whom you trust. Proofreading and editing are must never share a blog on site before self-editing. Because editing helps you to avoid small mistakes which usually happens while writing.
