How to write your first blog post effectively

Writing the first blog post is a very crucial work of blogging you won't believe I took two days to write my first blog post that was the introduction of this blog. Your first blog appear on the front when any visitors open up your blog so you need to be very careful when you write your first blog post. Now I would try my best to help you through out  this process of writing a first blog post.

So I will start from the basic of this process -

First blog post matters a lot
  • Choose a suitable blog post title - Your blog post is the first thing for which you will be noticed for - It must be catchy;  content promising; easy to understandable and digestible for your readers; title should be like that it explains all the internal details that they are going to get when they will read the post. Don't jump on other topics without completing the first one or do not initiate any other topics in the topic that you are discussing earlier.
  • Layout of your content - You need to start from introducing about your post; what it is all about. Ask yourself the question if you were reading the post what were the things you were interested to know. Make a connection with your reader in first paragraph because a reader wants to read something only when he feel something personal with writer. Also write your all post in such a manner that the reader could not able to leave without reading every word you had written. 
  • Use images effectively - Do you remember the story of the last movie you saw. I know your answer, it will be yes most of the times because seeing a movie involves visuals, also studies shown that our brain captures visuals(eyes) information more than 50% of total sensory organs oh sorry if I gone away from what I was discussing but the point here is that images play a vital role in having a better understanding of anything in writing a blog post also. Use combination of words and images to provide the information you want to provide to your readers in easy and effective way. If you are writing about "how to" blog posts then use screenshots to explain your content.
  • Choose your words and word limit wisely - Do not just try to add more and more words to your post, quality factor matters the most choose your words carefully make sure every word you include in your post serve something for your readers. It is true that some topic just need 50 word to be described completely and some need 5000 words but my recommendation is that for you to use 400-600 words in an average not only in your first blog post but for all posts.

Think before you write
  • Think before you write - Don't hurry for writing your first blog take your time. Just analyse your idea once again make a neat and clean structure of your blog roughly on a paper. Mark important points of your blog post. Without actually publishing to the internet view your blog again. Ask question from your readers that what they want from you!
  • Content is what that really matters - Sorry that I am writing the most important feature at last the things you see at last remains in memory for longer time. The most important thing is to be remembered is that the content is the king. Remember never copy paste any content from other sources to your blog let your original words take place in your blog because Google has many tools which would take less than a minute to find about the originality of the content. 

I hope this tutorial would help you write your first blog post. I tried my best to explain all the highlighting topics that you must know before writing your first blog post.
