WHY WRITING YOUR FIRST BLOG POST FEELS HARD

Many bloggers normally have different challenges when they are writing their first blog post which is normal, because with those challenges it will help them to learn from their mistake, by the time that they are done correct those mistakes then they will be sensitive that the mistakes will not happen again. These are mostly the reason that beginner’s encounter some challenges when writing their first blog post; (1) Fear of Not Being Perfect, when writing your first blog post as someone who have not written a blog before, you will feel some pressure to sound perfect which now make you to overthink every line that you write instead of to just continue writing. (2) You Don’t Have a Writing Pattern Yet, bloggers who are experienced and have been into the field of writing normally know their style and tone, but for you as a beginner, you are still trying to find out what you should say and also how to say it. (3) Too Many Ideas in Your Head, as a beginner, you might have many ideas and topics on your head but you don’t really know which one to write on first, which will then cause confusion and also makes you to delay on your writing. (4) No Practiced Yet, hope you know that writing is a skill and the more that you write then the easier that it becomes, the first blog post will normally feel hard just because that it is the first. So, my main key or point for you is to just start writing and not thinking on how to write it.

THE BEGINNER’S FORMULA FOR ANY BLOG POST

As a beginner who want to start blogging then they are some beginner’s formula that you can follow when writing your blog post and it is very easy to follow once you understand the structure. These are some of the formulas that you should follow, when you want to write your blog post; (1) Hook, when you are writing your blog post, the first thing that you start with is hook that will capture the attention of people who just started reading your blog post. (2) Introduce the Problem, like you are writing on “how to get followers fast on social media” then the problem of the people who came to read your blog post are people will low followers on social media. So, explain the readers problem and why it matters. (3) Promise or Tell Readers What They Will Learn, immediately after introducing the problems then you can now go ahead to tell the reader what they will gain after reading your blog post. (4) Start Writing Your Main Content, you can now start writing your main post content with the ideas that you have, you will go ahead to break the ideas into a clear point, for each of those of your point, explain it in simple words and also give some examples to make readers understand you better and also those examples will make it to look as practical. (5) Add steps or illustration where necessary so as to readers understand you very well. (6) And finally add a conclusion at the end of your blog post which is where you will summarize everything that you have said in your post and also include a Call To Action (CTA), which is like asking the reader to carry out some instruction like comment on the blog post, read other post on your blog, try the steps that you mentioned or even share your blog post to other people.

HOW TO PICK A TOPIC YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT

Choosing the topic you should write about is the best thing you should do because it will help you to be able to write and cover up many post, when choosing a topic that you should write about, choose a topic or niche (category) that you really understand and also that you can easily explain, go for a small idea that is very common to you than big idea which may seems confusing to you. So now go for something simple to you like questions that people have asked and you were able to answer them or problems that you have solved before. So go for something very simple to you, that you can talk and explain to anyone a million times without getting confuse. My point here is that a good topic is anyone that you can talk about without forcing any ideas.

TURNING YOUR IDEAS INTO A SIMPLE BLOG POST

To turn your ideas into a simple blog post is very simple for you as beginner, all of you have to do is to pick one idea that you have on a topic and then breaking it into small and easy-to-explain point. But instead of trying to cover everything or topic at once, just focus on the main idea or topic that you want readers understand. So, start by writing your outline, your hook, the problem, your points and then your conclusion. On each of your point that you are mentioning or writing about, try to make each of your point a sentence and don’t struggle or worry about to be perfect with your writing or grammar at the first time, my main advice for you is that you should write naturally the way that you will be explaining to a friend that asked you a question. Now your ideas are on the post, which later you can then tidy the sentences or add examples, and your blog post is ready.

TIPS TO HELP YOU WRITE FASTER

For you to start writing faster as a beginner then you need to stop targeting or waiting to become perfect on your first post. What you should do is to start by outlining your main points so that you will know exactly what you should write on and also the next thing to write on, write without stopping even if you make a mistake on your grammar till when you are done, then you can come back to correct the grammar error. You don’t even need to use big grammar when writing but you can use simple words to write and explain because the point is for reader to be able to understand the idea that you are giving. I will conclude by telling you that the more that you practice and write more post, the faster you will be able to turn your thoughts into a clear and good blog post.
