There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed. - Ernest Hemingway

THE PLAN 1
▰ Do not start writing without a proper plan and ideas. ▰ Usual topic ideas – Reviews, previews, hacks, how to, and response to another post/video/situation. ▰ You can find inspirations from online from Reddit, Buzzsumo and Quora.
▰ Write about current issues… Not outdated stuff.

THE PLAN 2
▰ A blog is public, and you need to keep in mind that you are writing for your readers. ▰ Give a lot of value, a lot of useful information. Do not just write random cat and dog posts.
▰ Do your research on your chosen topic. Get your facts and specifications right.

WRITING 1
▰ Formulate an attention grabbing title. Use power words such as mega, fast, hacks, awesome, effective and cheat. ▰ Structure your post – Do not write in “one big chunk”. Divide your post into several sections and subsections. ▰ Just be yourself, no need to pretend and be fake/insincere.

WRITING 2
▰ Engage with readers, take on a personal and conversational tone. ▰ Keep things simple, use simple English. ▰ Include the use of graphics, explain difficult stuff with the help of a diagram. ▰ Write first, worry later. If you don’t start writing, you will never finish.

EDITING
▰ Proofread your post before publishing it. ▰ Fix as many spell and grammar mistakes as possible. ▰ Reduce the use of difficult words, simplify the difficult parts. ▰ Make the post an easy read.
