Step 3 – Understand The Main Intent Behind The Keyword That You Want to Target

Understanding the intent behind the keyword is very important because it helps us to shape our article for our readers in a better way.

Search intent means finding out why a person is searching for that keyword, what is the intention behind that keyword. and present the best possible Article you can for that query.

There are 4 types of intent and intent, and every keyword has a different intent Behind them.

1. Informational intent (People looking for some information)
2. Navigational intent (People Navigating to a website)
3. commercial intent (People looking for best products)
4. Transactional intention (People looking to buy something)

Example: If you want to target a keyword “How to make money from Blogging” then clearly its an informational intent keyword and the searcher is looking for some tips on make Money online through Blogging.

Deliver the best possible solution to that problem, and your article will rank high on search engines and you will get lots of traffic.

Step 10 – Focus on Quality Not Quantity

Sometimes people think that the more words their blog post has, the better it is for the readers.

Let me bust this myth for you: the more fluff your write in your article the more your readers are likely to bounce off your article.

So only write what’s important and don’t just unnecessarily put in what looks cool which doesn’t add any value to the article.

Even if your article is short but it has to be valuable, crisp and useful to the reader.

Think of it in this way: Your reader is not reading your content because he wants to read content, he’s reading your content because he wants a solution for his problem.

Step 11 – Write in Easily Understandable Language

Write in such a way that even a 5th-grade child should be able to read and understand your content.

People think that having complex jargon and complex words makes their article good, but this is completely wrong.

What’s the point of writing something that only an Oxford scholar can read and understand?

That’s completely wasting your time behind something which will never take off.

So it’s very important to write your content in extremely simple words that everyone who is reading your content can understand.

Step 12 – Insert a Call to Action at The End of Blog Posts

Call to action at the end of blog post

CTA or “call to actions” are the most important element of any blog post you write.

CTA’s encourage your blog readers to take a specific action at the end of your blog post.

CTA’s are usually placed at the end of the blog post so that you can persuade them to take any action.

It could be anything like signing up for your email newsletters or purchasing any product or asking them to take any action.

Step 13 – End With a Strong Conclusion or a Closing Remark

Here’s a conclusion from one of my blog posts

The conclusion sums up your whole blog post and gives your readers a 10,000-foot overview of what they just read in your blog post.

It should be short and to the point which tells your readers what they have learned and what they need to do next.

Step 14 – Proofread Once You Have Written Your Blog Post

Proofreading is the process of reading your blog post to find out all the errors and grammatical mistakes after you have finished writing your article.
