now let's get started on how to write a blog post that actually gets results.
First. You must start with a keyword. Yes, that's right.
We don't necessarily start with a topic,
but rather research a keyword that we want to rank for on Google.
You can do this using a free app like Uber suggest or another app like keywords
everywhere actually created an entire tutorial on how to do this.
So go ahead and watch that. If you need some instruction,
once we have a keyword,
we need to write out our content and there's a few ways to do this.
That's going to make it easy on you and make it enjoyable for your audience to
read. So first we want to focus on list centric, blog posts.
That means titles like 10 ways to get more followers on Instagram or three
methods to increase your income using lists,
give structure to your content and makes it easy to scan through because let's
be real. Most people are not reading every word of your blog,
but rather scrolling to find the parts that are most interesting to them.
We're then going to write the blog post, like an essay to do this.
You need an introduction where you introduce the topic of the blog,
let the reader know what they're about to learn and segue into the content.
You're then going to use your list items as the supporting arguments of your
essay. This is where you should add a ton of value, pretty pictures,
and use proper headings. Then finally, the conclusion here,
you will wrap up your blog and ask them to comment and share. Now,
within this list, centric, essay type blog posts, you're going to add in SEO.
SEO is the most important element of every blog post and should never be
skipped.
If you truly want to rank in Google and create a piece of content that pays off
for you, long-term to do this,
take the keyword you found in step one and sprinkle it throughout your blog.
Add it to the URL, the title of your blog,
and in as many H one headings as possible.

Once your blog is written and your SEO is complete.
You'll want to add in some cross-promotion to increase your chances of your
visitors, reading more of your content or becoming a subscriber or customer.
If you have other relevant blogs,
add links within the copy to encourage them to read those as well.
Or if you have an opt-in that makes sense with this blog,
encourage them to download it. And finally, if you have a related product,
promote that within your blog. At this point,
you should have a quality blog posts.
That's a well-written structured optimized for Google and encourages your
readers to take action. Now,
all we have to do is promote it and boost its traffic.
