Steps Involved In Writing A Good Blog Post by Bloggerslight(m): 8:58am On Sep 16, 2017
One quality of a good blog is a good topic. A blog post is sometimes what determine the readers durability on your blog or website. Choosing a topic to write on is the first and foremost step to take. After deciding which topic to write on, you can then proceed to the following steps.
Note: Don't use freehost. there are many reason Why You Should Not Use a Free Hosting For Your Blog and topics you chose to write on should be related to your blog's niche.
Here are the steps involved in writing a good topic:

Researching on the topic

The topic chosen by you must be well researched on. This is an essential part of writing a good content.
The impression you are trying to make here is to let your readers see you as an expert, which is why you need research to gather your facts, ideas and examples. Research shouldn't take much time if you know what you are  looking for and how to look for it �� . You can use search engines to research your blog post. Amazon can also be of help, as i heard its one of the best for researching blog post niche.

The title of the topic

The title of your topic must be very short, attractive and related to the subject matter or the content. "keep the title short and on topic" . Some post have a good content but the title is either off topic or too long.
Using this post as an example, i can draft out at least 3 suitable titles;
* Five steps needed when writing a good topic
* How to write a good topic for your blog
* Steps involved in writing a good blog content

The content

Having found the suitable title for your article/post, and after doing enough research, the next step is to write on your subject matter based on what you have researched. This is where the real work comes in. The subject matter (content) should be well explanatory, so your readers can understand easily.
The content should also contain images, videos or other ways of visual representation (if necessary) for better understanding.
You can also include relevant or related links at the middle of the content.
Remember! that you are not the first and won't be the last that will write on that topic, which is why you have to make your content unique (different from what others have written).
TIP: Content sometimes determine the durability of readers on your blog

Visual representation

The use of images, videos etc helps readers a lot. Some explanation are better done visually. When writing your content, don't forget to include necessary images/screenshots related to the information you are trying to pass across to the readers. The use of visual representation make readers quickly assimilate and recollect because some readers in our century can hardly memorize two or three lines of written text but can summarize a season film without watching it twice. ��
TIP: You can also make tutorial videos(if necessary)

Proof Reading

After you're done writing your content, you should proof read it as many times as possible to correct mistakes that might have occurred.
If you are not that good at proof reading, you can hire a proof reader or you can pass it to two or three friends of yours to proof read it for you.
TIP: Beware Of Article Ripper Disguised As a Proof-Reader.

If you wanna know if you ar a good writer and also research properly.

Go and start an AMAZON AFFILIATE SITE and see if you can survive.

Your post should not be lower than 2,000 original words and that is like mediocre.

I just love it.

The key to SEO is a proper understanding of keywords because the search engine algorithm that crawls web pages identify specific keywords and lines out the SERP based on relevancy of the search keywords and no of links you have been able to direct to your site.
Note: Mobile keyword and desktop keyboard differs, so your analytics should give you a direction on where you derive most of ur traffic hence u can adjust.
Google keyword planner, Google adwords, Google market finder, hubspot app and some other SEO apps should help you research properly on hotcakes keywords and how to tweak your keyword and still be relevant to your consumers.

Social Media is your no 1 friend, use it to push backlinks through hypertext, link shares and CTA.
Always tweak your articles to carry catchy happenings if need be, e.g- during ebola outbreak most people online were usually searching things related to ebola and you can capitalise on that.
Use hashtags to promote a trend.

Other things like site responsiveness, load speed and such also are factored in.

Most important write useful and relevant content that makes people stay longer on ur blog, explore other blog pages, come back and also refer other people is key.
