7 Quick Writing Tips For Daily Bloggers


write-it-down-300x300Question: How long does it take you write a post? 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes? Personally, it all depends on the topic. Some topics are easier to write about than others.

I think we could all agree on that..

Some posts are easier just to make a quick 5-10 minute video. But, as a rule of thumb.. if it takes me more than 25 minutes to get it down on paper – I’m probably doing too much, and more than likely going off on a tangent.

Here Are The Top 7 Writing Tips For Daily Bloggers

Tip#1 is to stay clear with your topic of choice for every blog post. Nothing’s worse than having your readers ask “where is this going?” dead-smack in the middle of the post.

Tip#2 is to understand “Message To Market”. If your target market are beginners, don’t start writing about higher conversion rate on sales pages when they can’t even set up a domain with hosting.

Tip#3 is to create ‘Scannable Content’ just like this one. This helps your readers get the most out of an article even if they just skim through to get the best points.

Tip#4 is to Bold, Italics, CAPS and Underline words and phrases. This helps you direct your readers attention to the most important piece of the post. (for example – the list of tips in this post)

Tip#5 is use subheads INSIDE your post. Most people just write, and write and write and write.. without any breaks.. without anything that can grab your readers attention. Sub-headlines are great because again, skimmers will continue reading if they found a subhead interesting.

Tip#6 is to insert pictures into your blog post. Pictures provide your readers with a visual of what you’re trying to say. (..also an attention grabber)

Tip#7 is to write short paragraphs. I’m afraid of long paragraphs – they just look really looooonnngg.. and when I see them – I run away. Most people are like this, and you’re probably like this too. So, do us all a favor and break up your long paragraphs into short ones.

Trust me, you’re readership will shoot through the roof.

That’s about it.. You want some more?

      Hey Ryan,

      Thanks bro.. well.. it took me about 18 minutes to write and edit this one. It shouldn’t be longer than 300-400 words.

      If people keep it short, sweet and to the point, they should be fine.

  8. Great article Hector! I couldn’t agree more with your tips.
    These are really great communication tips, especially since most people are constantly bombarded with stimulus and have shorter attention spans.

    I find that some writers feel pressure to write really long posts and aren’t aware that most readers just want to get to the point.

    • Hector Cuevas says:

      Cara & Jennifer

      “most readers just want to get to the point” – That’s exactly right. You can’t give your readers the ‘run-around’ because then you’ll lose them, dead-smack in the middle.

      Thank you for commenting

  13. Hector,

    Great blog design. I like the simple clean lines.

    Spot on post too. Newbies should really soak in and implement every one of your tips.

    I especially like #3 and #7. Most people do not have a lot of time to spend at each blog and the easier we can make this for our visitors the better.

    We also don’t have time to write long posts. I often see posts that could quite easily have been broken into two or three separate posts.

  15. Hi Hector,
    thanks for these tips to avoid common mistakes and do the right things. When we first start, in most cases we aren’t aware of the reader’s point of view. I will consider your tips when writing my future posts.
    Take care

    • Hector Cuevas says:

      Hey Oliver,

      It’s great to learn from those who have made the mistakes before you – it helps you avoid the trial and error process. This is one of the main reasons I read other blogs out there.

      It’s very important to stay aware of the reader’s point of view – it’d be a shame to lose ‘em when they took the time to start reading your post.

      your welcome, & talk soon,
      Hector

  22. I’ve been a follower and reader on this blog since this week. And I noticed that in every end of each post, I saw a call to action phrases.

    This is a great strategy Hector. I guess I should also try this too. Lol!

  24. Great tips! You’re right about taking longer that 20 or 30 minutes. I’ve learned to move on and not try so hard when it’s just not flowing.

    I love reading blogs with lots of great pictures to create visual interest.
