Today I am going to share with you a very powerful secret. This is the anatomy of a killer blog post. With this formula, you can start today on creating posts that your readers will enjoy, share, and come back to you each day begging for more. Ready?

5 Key Parts You Need for Your Blog Post

1. Headline – You need to spending some time crafting your headline. What is going to grab your readers attention? Use words that are engaging and stir emotions.
2. Opening – Have a strong opening or compelling sentence. Let the reader know why they’re on you blog and what to expect if they continue reading.
3. A Good List (clear delivery of promise) – If you notice this blog post has a headline, compelling sentence and a list. Give the reader the guts of the blog post. Another tactic is to use the upside down triangle. Give them the conclusion first and then support it will details through the rest of your blog.
4. Conclusion/Call to Action – What do you want the reader to do? Buy, share, or click on a link. Let your reader know the action you want them to take.
5. End with a Request for Participation – The best thing about a blog is the community. Engage your readers by asking a question and getting them to comment.

How Long Should a Blog Post Be?

This is a great question because the answer I’m going to give you might shock you.

Your blog post needs to be as long as it takes to convey the information your reader needs. To be honest there are a couple of different thoughts on a blog post.

1. Have a minimume of 300 words
2. Use H1, H2, and H3 in your blog content (these are headers sizes)
3. Write as much content as you believe is needed to convey the information your reader is looking for.
4. Use Images that support your content

Blogging is all about your reader. Make it easy for them to skim, read, and share your content.

Remember that people are searching the web for only 3 reasons.

1. Education
2. Entertainment
3. E-commerce (buying)

If you want to be found then you must create content that speaks to your reader.
