6. Fill Out the Subheadings with Two Paragraphs Maximum
New writers always wonder how they will ever write 1300 – 2000 words but using this system you will be astonished at how quickly your post grows.
By only writing two paragraphs per subheading, you will find that your style needs to be clear and simple. This will teach you to be concise.
Use humor!
7. Make Sure that You Answer the Question
Look at your box answer at the beginning of your post. Did you answer the question in just a few lines?
Now check down your subheadings did you expand on this answer and clearly give as much extra information to cover any other questions.
8. Write a Conclusion
You don’t need to belabor the point but wrap up in a conversational way making sure that the reader will feel that they received all the necessary information.
Then ask for comments and likes, ask people to share your post, and make it easy with icons that they can click.

Sorry Lily, been busy; I have just read this post and it is very helpful as a new guy. Now, I have a very good idea of a few things that I was wondering about on my edit content pages. I would like to know your superhero name, as I only know of two superhero names, and that would be the Blogg Dogs, and the Queen of No Fluff. I wouldn't want to blurt out your real name for everyone to see. OH, wait this is public, oops.

Wow. Read every word. I am always been a direct person. Get my point across and leave it at that. Just like going to the store to buy something, go in, find it, pay for it and leave. In school, I always had a tough time in English, teacher said write a 500 word essay on something, didn't teach how just said write it. I really had a bad time with it. Your post here gets me a little closer to the "how". I thank you so much for that, you just don't know.

You are very welcome Marc.
I'm like you so I too found it hard to write more than 500 words but over time I've improved. I've found that breaking the points down into headings and then writing concisely for each section really creates a 1500 word post very quickly.
Get stuck in and let me know how you go.

Another fantastic tutorial Lily.
Just a question though, why so many internal links? As every time Jay gives a class, he says that just using one internal link and 1 external link is enough? I am a little confused now. Usually I do use more than 1 internal link though, but hardly 7.
Thanks!

Hi Liz, that is a good question.
When you think of your website content it is important to understand that you are trying to keep people on your website for longer and you can do this by giving them relevant information in your other posts.
i.e. a post about marketing might talk about creating an email list, you would then have an internal link to a post about an autoresponder.
This builds a network of links between your posts which tells Google that people see you as an authority in your niche. So it doesn't really matter how many internal links you put in, it's a personal choice. It won't harm your website.

From our perspective there is a difference between a new post and a seasoned post. A new post will have fewer links which keeps the "ranking juice" within the new post so it ranks.
After new posts age and there are other related posts added, they can be interlinked which results in more internal links..

Excellent tips for blog writing Lily. I have been working on a rather large article around this for some time. So far it's around 6000 words. At this stage I'm thinking of using it as a free pdf offer on a landing page or pop up.
The only question I have is around the amount of external and internal links, I'd be afraid that to many could be seem as scam. I only add more than one external link unless the article is a review. Am I wrong in doing this. Jim

Hi Jim, I remember a big debate on WA about this about a year ago. No one could agree, so I can only say for myself that I recently noticed I have 600 backlinks to my website and the only thing I changed was putting 2 links to a similar article from page one of Google and a Wikipedia link. They have also improved my ranking. So I don't think that Google is seeing it as spam at all.
I also add as many relevant internal links as I can, around 7 and when I look on my flowchart in GA people are clicking through.
