I have to say at one time writing a 500 word blog post was pretty tough. It was hard to get the words that would help me to fill up the page.

Of course the more you write the easier the words are to find.

But I still had issues where my blog post would fall short.

Now I’ve come up with a solution which has already been shared, but I’m going to be adding my bits to it.

From learning at Wealthy Affiliate, I know Google likes the topic explained in full detail, where a reader can go away knowing their question was fully answered.

So what are my tips & tools?

Use talk to text program

  • I use dragon naturally speaking which makes it easier to for me to get my words on the computer. My thinking is faster which means I miss words when I’m physically typing.

Answers the 5 Ws – remember they can be an any order you want them to be

  • Who is the post intended for
  • What actions will the reader take after reading your post
  • When can they use the answer you provide
  • Where will they be able to use the answer
  • Why do they need this answer right now as this moment

Of Course don’t forget How

  • Some people like having a visual which How provides

Start off with as many headings as you can find

I usually start off with 20 headings for any topic, they can be repeats written differently. Once this is done, I start writing.

As I go along I start deleting headings which have already been discussed under another heading. This way I usually end up with about 7-9 headings and a post over 1500 words.

The reason this works is because it tricks my mind into thinking I had alot to do, but really I got it done faster, this makes my mind happy.

    This not only works for regular posts, but it also works for review posts.
