Do You Want the Formula that Breaks Down How I Get at least 37,000 Visitors per Blog Post
Hey! They all follow a similar format. And you know what, it's not out of coincidence, it's for a reason. Because that formula helps me generate at least 37,000 visitors per blog post. Do you want to know how I write the perfect blog post? Today I'm going to share with you, how do you write a blog post from start to finish?
Now, I have a question for you: How many of you have written a blog post before? If you have, leave a comment with "yes". If you haven't, leave a comment with "no". Because you know what, whether you have written a blog post before or you haven't, and I'm still curious about how many of you write one.
I'm gonna share with you the perfect formula that I follow for my blog. It works for a B2C, B2B, personal blog, or corporate blog, it works for everything.
I kid you not, it is the best formula out there.
1: First tip
Start with a title. Don't just start writing a blog post, unless you have the exact title, do not write your blog post. Eight out of ten people will read your headline, but only two out of ten will click through
or read the rest of your article.
Doesn't matter how amazing of a blog post you write, if you don't write a good headline, no one's gonna read the rest of your post. It all comes down to your headline or title, or whatever you wanna call it.
If you need some creativity, go to a grocery store and check out a magazine.
When you go to a grocery store you're checking out, you see all these magazines! They have amazing titles with How To, Livspace, articles like "Lose weight in 30 days",
"How to shed five pounds fast!"
Doesn't matter what kind of magazine they are, whether it's a business magazine or
whether it's a fitness magazine, or a gossip magazine, they all use catchy titles. And that's what you need to do with your blog post. And look for the magazine for inspiration.
I stick with the basics. I use How To a lot, I use Livspace posts, those two things have worked wonders for me, and they haven't gotten old.
2: Start with the title
And you don't have to just create one variation of it. You can create two or three variations,
and that's what I do and I ask people hey, what do you like.
I'll ask a few friends, then I pick the best one and that's what I go with.
3: Introduction
The second step that you need to follow when it comes to writing a blog post is the introduction.
In your introduction, you need to hook people with a bold statement. For example "Hey, do you want the formula that breaks down how I get at least 37,000 visitors per blog post".
By hooking people in, they're gonna read the rest. And with your introduction, it's not just talking, hooking people in. It's also about talking about what's gonna be covered in the post. Just giving them a quick overview of what you're gonna teach them, is a great way to hook them in.
As well as to get them to go more into your blog post, read more, and ideally, even leave a comment
at the end of your post. Now that we have the introduction done.
4: Body
let's get into your body. Your body should include sub-headings. Keep in mind that you want your content easy to skim. If people can't skim it, you're not gonna do well. In your body, use sub-headings,
and keep your paragraphs around three to four lines max.
5: Linking out Website Links:
In addition to that, when you're writing your content in your body, link out the website's link.
That's part of my formula, it's not just about linking to your site, it's about linking to other sites.
What happens is when you link to other websites, you open up your sources, and you're citing them.
It creates more credibility for you and makes you and your business look more like an expert,
and that's what you wanna be perceived as when you're writing content.
6: Conclusion
Last but not least, you wanna wrap up your post with a conclusion. The conclusion summarizes what your post was about, and you end your conclusion with a question. By ending with the question, more people are more likely to leave a comment.
When they leave a comment, it creates engagement. By getting engagement, you're much more likely
to generate sales. If people read your blog but don't engage with you, they're not likely to become a lead
or buy your products or your services.
So you must end with a question. And here's what we found with conclusions.
Brazing Crazy Egg, we use a scroll mat feature, and what we found through testing was, that a lot of people read blog posts, when they first land on them, they quickly scroll to the bottom, and check out the conclusion.
Then they go back up and read the rest, assuming they like the conclusion. So with your conclusion,
make sure you label it "Conclusion". Don't get fancy, keep it simple. Just call it a good ole' conclusion.
And that's my formula for writing blog posts!
It's not that hard. Now one thing I did mention in this whole process of writing blog posts, is that you need to link up to other sites. And here's a bonus tip: I know this goes a bit above just writing,
but very few people do it. When you link up to other people, it flatters them.
People love getting backlinks because when you link out to someone, it drives in more traffic. Especially when you're positively linking to them. Hopefully, you're not bashing people in your blog post. Stay above that. So when you link up to them, shoot them an e-mail.
"Hey Curtis,
I have to say I am a huge fan of your work, so much so that I linked to you in my latest blog post.

Cheers, Saira
P.S. If you shared it, it would make my day".
That's it.
A lot of people who get linked out to, including me, don't mind sharing articles on Twitter.
It drives the blog owner traffic, and it makes the person you link to look great!
So that's it.
