I&#8217;m calling it my &#8220;Top 10 Must-Dos for Good Blog Posts&#8221;.<\/h2>\n<h3>What I mean by &#8220;good&#8221; is two things:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>The posts are readable and valuable to your audience.<\/li>\n<li>The posts are SEO friendly for Google purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you have great content but nobody can see it, then what&#8217;s the point?<\/p>\n<p>If you have content that&#8217;s visible but it&#8217;s not great, again&#8230; what&#8217;s the point?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re wasting your time.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re blogging, great, keep going and follow these top ten guidelines. If you&#8217;re not blogging, this can encourage you to start. These things are super-easy and going to be very effective for your blog.<\/p>\n<h3>Two things before we get started:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Keep in mind that users don&#8217;t read, they scan. That means your content is going to need to be very scan-able content. We want scan-able content, we want shareable content.<\/li>\n<li>Before you start blogging, it&#8217;s great to have a plan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Keep in mind three things when you&#8217;re creating a plan for blogging:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Your audience. You&#8217;re going to need to know this because you&#8217;re writing to them and for them.<\/li>\n<li>You need to gather content ideas. What are you going to be sharing with them? Have a plan.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re going to want to take those and schedule them out so that you develop a rhythm and a cadence to your blogging.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, there you have it. We are about to get started with our top ten must-dos for writing good blog posts.<\/p>\n<p>Our &#8220;Blog Writing Guide&#8221; eBook has 10 tips on making the best blog posts possible.
