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▰ Write about current issues… Not outdated stuff.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.
