Online readers have a very short attention span \u2013 around 8 seconds \u2013 so your headline is one of the first elements that will help them decide whether your post is worth clicking through to read. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/blog\/ws\/2017\/05\/17\/how-to-write-great-headlines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordStream<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/the-step-by-step-guide-to-writing-powerful-headlines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Neil Patel<\/a> both other some great in-depth data on how to write effective headlines.<\/li><li><strong>Introduction<\/strong>. After the headline, this is the second more important component of any post. Your introduction needs to quickly convince the reader that your post is worth reading through to the end. It should provide a summary of what the reader can expect in the rest of the article. There are different ways you can approach writing an introduction, whether through storytelling, humor, asking a question or stating a fact. Whatever approach you decide to go with, it must be attention-grabbing. If you struggle to write an intro, I suggest going with the most interesting or surprising information you learned while researching your topic and starting with that.<\/li><li><strong>Main content<\/strong>. This is the bulk of your article. Always include things like lists \u2013 bullets and\/or numbers \u2013 and blockquotes to help break up the text to make it easier to scan and read.<\/li><li><strong>Sub-headings<\/strong>. Sub-headings help make your content easier to digest for readers who scan through your content, but also just in general as it helps provide structure for your content.<\/li><li><strong>Images<\/strong>. Have you ever picked up a magazine that is just all text? Exactly. Relevant images help pull readers into your content and provide a quick context for your words. Always include captions \u2013 like headlines and sub-headings, they provide another element that readers can quickly scan.<\/li><li><strong>Featured image.<\/strong> Choose a feature image that reflects what your article is about and provides a point of intrigue for readers.<\/li><li><strong>Conclusion.<\/strong> Sum up your blog post with a brief conclusion that recaps what you covered in the content. You might also want to include resources or links for further reading.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Writing Great Blog Posts:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also some general writing tips that I follow when writing posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Research.<\/strong> No matter what you\u2019re writing about, always research your topic inside-out. I usually start by googling my chosen topic and reading as much as I can about it, and then compiling my research into a list I can refer back to as I write.<\/li><li><strong>Plan out the structure of your post.<\/strong> I don\u2019t really get those people who \u201cjust start writing.\u201d Just thinking about it stresses me out. I find that planning out how I want to structure my post, including writing a brief summary to get me started on the introduction and titles for each sub-heading, helps me fill in the blanks so I know exactly what I need to write for each part of the part. For example, I\u2019m halfway through writing the post you\u2019re reading now and I\u2019ve already sent it out into four sections (introduction, essential elements, writing tips, and choosing a theme). All I need to do is fill out each section.<\/li><li><strong>Short paragraphs.<\/strong> There\u2019s a reason why newspapers paragraphs are only 2-3 sentences \u2013 they\u2019re easier to read and digest. Likewise, stick with short sentences online, otherwise, the content will look too heavy and readers will give up.<\/li><li><strong>Aim for 2,000-2,400 words.<\/strong> A <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/anatomy-perfect-blog-post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hubspot analysis<\/a> found the ideal blog post length is roughly 2,100 words. <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/medium-publications-about-design\">Medium<\/a> found that <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/data-lab\/the-optimal-post-is-7-minutes-74b9f41509b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posts that took seven minutes to read<\/a> earned the most engagement and attention, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.serpiq.com\/how-important-is-content-length-why-data-driven-seo-trumps-guru-opinions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">serpIQ<\/a> found that most of the top 10 Google results are between 2,032 and 2,416 words.<\/li><li><strong>Include statistics and numbers.<\/strong> Whenever possible, use data and numbers in your writing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/web-writing-show-numbers-as-numerals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nielsen Norman Group has found<\/a> numbers written as numerals instead of words attract reader attention when they quickly scan online content. Also, using facts and figure in your articles provide credible information and add authority to your work. Just remember to include links to stats you provide \u2013 you don\u2019t want people thinking you made them up!<\/li><li><strong>Provide internal links.<\/strong> Where possible, link to other posts and further reading on your site. Not only will this encourage readers to explore your content, but it means you don\u2019t have to explain a topic in full each time you write about it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the Right Blogging Theme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have a personal blog, work for an agency or write long-form, storytelling content, there are different layout elements you should keep in mind when selecting a WordPress theme for your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Typography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your words should be as easy to read as possible, so stick with a simple, classic font that matches the look and feel of your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Collins.jpg\" alt=\"Collins - Minimalist &amp; Personal Blog PSD Theme features simple typography that is highly readable\" class=\"wp-image-78271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Collins.jpg 816w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Collins-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Collins-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/collins-minimalist-personal-blog-psd-template-JW6AUX\">Collins &#8211; Minimalist &amp; Personal Blog PSD Theme<\/a> features simple typography that is highly readable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Collins &#8211; Minimalist &amp; Personal Blog PSD Theme uses different variations of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fonts.google.com\/specimen\/Poppins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Poppins<\/a> sans-serif font for its titles, sub-headings and body content.

Author Bio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing a well-crafted author bio to go with your posts helps readers get to know who has written the content, and see that a real person is behind the words. Always include a photo with your bio. Don\u2019t hide behind your words! Seeing your face will help readers quickly recognize your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/hemlock-wordpress-theme.jpg\" alt=\"Hemlock - A Responsive WordPress Blog Theme  features author bios that are simple and elegant. \" class=\"wp-image-78274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/hemlock-wordpress-theme.jpg 816w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/hemlock-wordpress-theme-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/hemlock-wordpress-theme-768x276.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/themeforest.net\/item\/hemlock-a-responsive-wordpress-blog-theme\/8253073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hemlock &#8211; A Responsive WordPress Blog Theme<\/a>  features author bios that are simple and elegant. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hemlock &#8211; A Responsive WordPress Blog Theme features a clean and contemporary design for its bios, complete with all the most popular social share buttons.
