Keyword Research

As you read the information you have gathered, be thinking about keywords. I read my research material and then select my keyword before writing anything. Then it goes in the title and one time in the first paragraph of the post.

Grammar Check

Once your post is written, you will need to do a grammar check. I always read the post first, because some errors occur when you use a word that is spelled correctly but is not the word that goes there.

You have to find these errors for yourself, because if you have spelled a real word, even though the wrong one, the grammar checks will not catch the error.

After you have done your own proofing, use the grammar check and correct anything that needs to be changed.

Move Your Post From Site Content To WordPress

Once the post is written, you can transfer it to WordPress and add images or make other changes there. Rather than publish from the WA content platform, I copy my post, go to WordPress, select "Add new post" and copy it there.

In this way, it is still a draft and you can make all your changes and additions before anyone reads it.

Find Images

I put the images I choose to use on my desktop and then move them to the WordPress Media Library. Remember to size your images to the size you wish for your post.

Alt Tags

Fill out the alt tag for your image, describing in such a way to aid visually impaired visitors. I also put my keyword in the "title" spot supplied right under the alt tag spot.

Meta Title And Meta Description

Below your post, be sure to fill in the meta title (title of your post goes here) and the meta description.(Short summary of post content.)
