21 Ideas for Writing Your Blog Posts Faster Than You Normally Would! ....Cont
Write a short post (no more than 450 words) just on that single idea alone
If you do this for an entire document such as a report or even just a longer article, you should have a nice batch of cohesive, coordinated blog posts in an afternoon!
4. Write about what you know. Your biggest problem, if stick to subjects you know off by heart, will be keeping the word length down!
(See Idea # 1.)
5. Write first, research later. This tip goes hand-in-glove with Idea # 3. When you’ve finished your post, re-read it. You’ll know if you need to expand on a statement with a line or two of research to add credibility to it.
6. Write first, find photos later. If you start looking for the right photo in the middle of your blog post, it’s far too easy to become distracted by portfolios full of wonderful visuals as you scroll through Google images or your favorite photo clipart site.
(The inverse of this strategy – finding photos, then basing your blog posts on them – can also provide a fun way to perk up your idea-generation process.)
7. Share a gem. If you produce a really fascinating fact, helpful link, hidden shortcut or little-known resource, you really don’t need to write pages and pages about it! All people will see, want and grab is your golden take-away.
8. Use a screenshot. If your post sharing that wonderful hidden resource is only 250 words long, bulk up its interest quotient and value by adding a teaser screenshot, showing some aspect of the resource that is sure to make your reader want more.
9. Start at the end. One trick widely used by professional bloggers is to write their conclusion first. Then write the introductory paragraph and several bullet points leading to the conclusion.
Cut your bullet points down to no more than five to seven, tops. Create paragraphs out of the remainder. (Choose the points you feel either require expansion or that are most important.)
Thanks Again,
