As with outlining, this is not a step you must take every time you can choose to simply publish your first draft as is. (Granted, sometimes you can get it right on the first go – but don’t expect to!)
It doesn’t matter if what you’ve written is enough or too much or good or even publishable – this is only the first draft. The act of getting words down on the page will get more words flowing, and before you know it you’ll have written several paragraphs, maybe even several pages. What if, outline or not, you just don’t know what to say? That’s okay. But not every post will require an outline, so don’t feel like you have to have one every time. An outline serves as a guide for what your post will say. Revise. Proofread. Publish.Īfter you have listed some ideas and chosen a topic, it can be helpful to plan out what you want to write. There’s really no right or wrong way to write a blog post, but there is a basic process most writers follow: Brainstorm. You’re only limited by what you can come up with. Maybe you’re just reblogging a post someone else wrote that you liked. Maybe you really enjoyed a meme, or recipe, or book, or movie. Maybe it’s advice or a tutorial that you wish someone had given you. Maybe it’s a rant about a controversial issue. Writing for your blog isn’t the same as writing for hire – you can pick your topics without having to get them approved or reviewed by anyone.
Whatever you decide to write, the important thing is that you’re writing about what you want to or what you care about.
Start With an IdeaĪs any experienced writer will tell you, writing is hard – especially getting started. All you know is that you have things to share with the rest of the world. In this article, we will help you get started by walking you through writing your first post and publishing it with WordPress. That’s awesome! But what if you’re new to this whole blogging business, and you don’t know the first thing about writing a blog post? Maybe you already have writing experience, or maybe not.
