Important Final Touches
Now I will do one of 3 grammar and spelling checks (red 1) that I do before final publication, although I will publish to Wordpress because the image placement is so much easier there than in site content.
Beware the grammar and spellchecker is not foolproof in site content, it in no way replaces the good old fashioned mark one human review!
Some will use other tools, I do use grammarly but it is a matter of personal preference.
Not being able to publish to wordpress as a draft is a shortcoming of site content but one which WA are working on and it may well be fixed by the time you are reading this. In the meantime be aware that when you publish on here it goes to the internet even though you are invited to edit ion wordpress.
Images and Media
You can insert images and media here (red 2) but I find it less effective than doing it in Wordpress, but again your choice.
You may find if you do it in Site Content that you have top go and adjust again in Wordpress.
Last but Not Least
Ok so now we are going to publish to Wordpress and place images and media there because as I said that is currently ny preferred method, you choose for yourself. We will also insert a featured image and then we will make sure that we have taken care of the 5 SEO tactics listed in Jay Magistudios slide below (more of that in a second)
All of the trainings that you need to place images is in your Online Entrepeneur Certificate training so make sure that you are familiar with that.

There is a recorded webinar from Jay called SEO 101 Basics which is gold dust you will find it under live events but I have provided the link here.
When you edit in Wordpress this is something you should do every single time.
Last Things Last
We are close but not quite...
Now run a grammar and spelling check again, if yo are happy update everything in Wordpress and preview. When you preview this is when you are doing the mark 1 human review. Note down everything you see that needs tidying up, syntax, spelling (yes grammarly is not perfect either) word placement, media and image placement and check that all of your links work as you expect them to.
If you need to fix anything go back to Wordpress anc revise, update and then do another review checking off against your snags list.
Finally, get comments from family and friends, from site comments or from the free comments exchange thread:

You now have a Blog Post that can go do work for you!

I will say that having the templet is a game-changer. I try my best always to follow it. The other thing I recently did was upgrade to a grammar checker (I think that has improved my writing A LOT). I think I'm okay at writing, but this helps with the tenses as well as spelling.
I think your training is an excellent reminder for some of us and will be a fantastic resource for people new to WA. Thanks!

This is a great lesson and it will be helpful to a lot of people, I am sure.
My approach to writing a post is a little different, but that might also be because I do not promote WA and neither do I write a review.
For both my websites, I write about what I find interesting.
I read, hear, or see something and that activates my grey cells.
Having the idea, I start thinking about the buildup.
I write my post on Words and then transfer it to draft on my website. Get the H2 and the H3 and the other little details. I find my pictures and video.
For my title I have been using Pedros tool all these years. How to Write a Headline? Powerful and Unbelievably Hypnotic! Now that Grammarly does not function anymore after updating to 5.4 WordPress I have been using ProWritingAid these last days and am happy with it as it is more complete than Grammarly and also free.
Stay safe and healthy,
