1. Understanding Your Audience

Before starting to write, make sure that you are completely aware of your audience. This time you should make the use of your buyer persona while writing the article or a blog post. Make sure that you have an answer to the following two questions: 

  • What do they want to know about?
  • What will resonate with them? 

Do proper research on what your audience demands and the interests of your audience. Use words like 'you', 'yours' to make it more conversational and interactive. If you are writing for an international audience your tone and information should cater to it.


2. Introduction Is the Main Key

Often, it has been seen that writers go clueless about what exactly should be written in the introduction during the first few attempts. You should remember that readers of your article or blog post will immediately know whether to read the remaining article or not by merely glancing at the introduction. That's the reason the introduction should be curated in the best possible manner to influence the decision of your reader. 

Firstly, grab the reader's attention. Grabbing the reader’s attention is one of the most essential things you have to be cautious about while writing the first paragraph itself. Even while writing the first few sentences for the introduction you have to make sure that they are captivating. You can do this by describing the purpose and objectives of the article and explaining how it will address the issue around which the article revolves. 

Secondly, provide an introduction that helps in developing a connection between you and the writer. You can start by describing the topic of the article. Thereafter, try being empathetic, or get a grip on the reader with an interesting fact or statistic.


3. Organize Your Content


Make sure that your blog post or article is not flooded with information. Mostly, people flood their articles with a lot of information as a result of which the articles become boring and exhaustive.

Try organizing your information in such a manner that your readers do not get intimidated by the length or the number of words used. Using several sections, subheadings, bullet points can be the most appropriate way to properly organize your content.


4. Effective Writing 

In this step, you should actually focus on how to effectively write your content. With the help of the above outline created, you can easily start writing your articles by expanding your points whenever and wherever needed using appropriate headings and listings. 

Use the source file technique, and if necessary, do additional research to gather more information. Do not worry about the length of your post. For instance, my high school teachers used to say, "just make it as long as it needs to be" for it to be of high quality and be helpful. 

The article needs to be in-depth and information-rich. It should able to answer all the queries of the reader. It should be able to guide the user about the actions and steps they should take.


5. Edit, Proofread, Formatting

You're not quite done yet, but you're close! The editing process is an important part of writing an article, don't overlook it. Make sure that while editing and proofreading you remove all possible grammatical errors and punctuation errors from your article. 

In addition to this, if your article has any formatting issues, make sure that you remove all the formatting errors in this step before submitting it for approval. Editing, proofreading, and formatting are one of the most essential parts of writing any article or blog post. 

With the help of these 5 listed techniques, you can easily develop and create a magnificent piece of content.
