     Creating the perfect blog post and getting it to rank well, as well as grab the audience can seem like a daunting task. It can be, but follow some simple rules, give it some thought, and the post will begin to write itself.

The Headline-

     Question- Is your headline clear....does it evoke curiosity and an emotional response....is it straight to the point......will it rank because of keywords....is it likely that someone will type in that title.

     I know it's a lot right off the bat.

The Introduction-

     For the introduction....are you providing a clear and concise overview....have you captured your audience....did you include a picture or a video and is that going to grab the reader.
{ and Keywords, Video, Links and tags all help with the SEO}

The Body-

When writing your blog post, make sure you ask yourself.....

(1)-create a conversation, an example of this is "I've had this experience"....I and you bring people into the conversation.....

(2)-if you're smart or not don't talk down to your audience, it's a great way to lose them.....


(3)wordpress offers you many tools, format your post correctly......

.(4)don't make stuff up, back up your statements and you brand yourself as the expert....

(5)if you're quoting someone else, mention it.....

(6)you can link to other sites and inform them that you've done that, and link to your other sites......

(7)mention current trends if that's relevant, and make the content concise don't add stuff just for the sake of lengthening the piece....

(8)subheadings can make it easier for the reader to skim the post.....

(9)long dense paragraphs are hard to read and hard on the eyes, break it up.....

(10)if possible tell a story to hook the readers....

(11)using video and images are great, make sure they personalize the post.....

(12)if you're going to appeal to someones emotions, try putting them on a roller coaster ride.

The Conclusion-

     So we are going to the end of your post.

One of the best ways is to end with a question which can generate more comments and increase the likelihood that the post will be shared......if it's a longer post wrap it up with a couple short paragraphs......end the conclusion with 150 words or less......just like ending with a question leave things open to new ideas and sharing....

The Promotion

      Are you publishing your post at the right time of day, who is your target audience and what are they doing at the time you post.......
are you collecting emails, and......
what's your offer, {giving away value for free}, an ebook, PDF file, or a free course.......
do you have your share buttons all lined up, and an added note.....
don't go nuts on the share buttons.....
too many tend to be a distraction.......
have a comment box and encourage people to share....
make sure you acknowledge those who have contributed to the post....
.use social meta tags.....
increase traffic by using Slideshare,{ you may have to adjust your post to avoid double content penalties......read up on how to do this first before you charge in......
on some Social Media channels like Twitter you can share your content 2 or 3 times.

Have fun...
