1) Decide What to Write

If you have never written a blog post earlier, the first challenge is to decide what you'll write about. Pick something you are passionate about already love reading, talking, or listening about. If you are passionate about something, you will love writing about that as well.

2) Have Subjective Knowledge

Before you start writing about any particular topic, you need to have prior subjective knowledge about that topic. If you already know about the topic, that's perfect; if not, go and read other blogs, magazine articles, books, anything you can get information from. Do your research and once you have collected the information, start writing.

3) Write Headline First

9 out of 10 people will read the headline, and only 3 out of them will read the content. So always start with a catchy headline that attracts readers' attention. If your headline is not attractive, no one will read your article. Also, writing the headline of your blog post first makes sure that you don't go away from the topic.

4) Start Writing

Most people spend hours, days, or even weeks writing their first article; why? It's because writing for the first time can be fearful, and lots of negative thoughts come to mind. But you don't need to overthink; simply get yourself out of any fear and start writing.

5) Make Article Skimmable

Proceed with proper content that readers will love. A good piece of content is between 500 words to 1000 words, anything less than 500 words is bad from an SEO perspective, and more than 1000 words is annoying to readers. So break them into small paragraphs and make the article Skimmable so that readers don't find it boring.

6) Be Yourself

When you start writing your first blog post, it's easy to get attracted to other successful writers and copy their writing style. But don't try to copy anyone's style. Write in your own style, be yourself because your writing style is your brand.

7) I and You Rule

While writing content, always think as if you are talking directly to the reader and sitting before you. This makes your article interactive, and you will be talking directly to the reader. Use (I and You) throughout your article.

8) Use Attractive Images

Use images in your blog post because "Images do the talking, and sometimes they do the explanation in a much better way than what your thousands of words can't do. So use images in your blog post to make it more beautiful and professional as well.

9) Formatting Tips

If you ever visited those boring websites from the 90s era, you must have noticed how tough it is to read those articles as the writer didn't format the article for better readability. Don't be one of those writers. Use proper writing formats and consider: using bullet points to make it simple and catchy, bold letters to emphasize, headline categories such as H1, H2, H3, etc., whenever required. Proper formatting is crucial as it makes a good impression and provides a better reading experience.

10) End with Call to Action

What should a reader do after reading your blog post? Please don't keep them hanging in the middle; let them know what to do next. Always end up with a call to action. A call to action can be anything depending upon your preferences, but not more than one. End up your blog post motivating your readers to do something like asking their views about the topic, asking a question, or simply a request to share your blog post.
