Planning Steps

I have always found it easier to write anything, if I plan how I am going to do it. I recommend this approach, particularly for new writers because it actually makes the material flow easier and prevents 'block' in the writing process.

Here are the steps I would typically use for a Blog post:

1. Select a broad title
2. Refine with keyword research
3. Populate template headings
4. Write in any order
5. Select supporting images or other media
6. Last but not least

The Title

My assumption is that if you are here already then you have probably already conquered the niche selction process, but just in case that is not so you should, before continuing this training, go to these two resources and be clear about what your niche is. It will make this a lot easier:

Once you have your niche, then assuming you have used the 10 titles methods, referred to in the, "Selecting a Niche' tutorial, you will already have 10 raw titles to start you off.

Now take one of those titles and turn it into a keyword or contain a keyword within it.

For instance in the example below I started searching for steampunk clothing, which is clearly quite competitive, but I did not have to go too much further to see 5 entries down that by using ebay steampunk clothing I could get a better keyword and a prospective affiliate route to take advantage of at the same time.

Now that you have your title and you have matched it to your keywords you are ready to think about your content.......
