In this post I will tell you some really good tricks to write better content for your blog/journal.

I classify my article into three parts-

1. First paragraph
2. General Body
3. Last Paragraph

First Paragraph of Article :

First paragraph of an article is of particular importance, because it is the curiosity generating paragraph.If I refer title tag as advertising banner then first paragraph is the text written on that banner.There are two ways to generate curiosity from first paragraph-

• Write what you are going to tell in the article.I have seen most of the successful bloggers using this technique.Most of the successful bloggers will tell you what they are going to write in the article in their first paragraph.
• Create questions and answer them in the paragraph that follows.This is even better way of writing first paragraph.Just ask some commonly asked question on the topic in your first paragraph and promise to answer them in following paragraphs.If people visiting your site are hunting for the answer of those questions then they might read all of your content.

General body of Article :

This part is meant to put all your information for readers.There are certain tips to write this part of your article which I would like to share with you.

1. Use tags, bolds , italics and different font colours to emphasize your point.This helps readers by easily getting your important points even if they don't read your entire post.
2. Write short paragraphs of 3-4 sentences.
3. If you have promised to answer some questions you have asked in first paragraph then answer those questions in most possible lucid way.
4. Use each of your selected keywords about 4-6 times.This is particularly important for search engine optimization.
5. Use bullets and ordered lists.
6. Write in simple way to make your point easily understandable to anyone.
7. Prove your point by citations, quotes from other websites.Give examples to make your point understandable.
8. Write to the point, don't drift away from one topic to another.
9. Use images.Images draw the attention of your readers and also help them to understand the point in discussion.It has been observed that articles having images get more hits than other articles not having images.

The last paragraph of Article :

Last paragraph has got multiple usage and is no less important than other paragraphs.You can use your last paragraph for following-

1. Summing up- Most of the bloggers use there last paragraph for summing up what they have said in the article.
2. Information about next post-
Last paragraph can be used to tell your readers what topic you will cover in your next post. If first paragraph is the advertisement of the same article then last paragraph can be used to advertise your any other related post or your upcoming post.The idea is if visitors liked your article they might be willing to read some more posts from you and they will find an immediate link to one of your related posts in that paragraph.

This ends my post on content writing.Once you have completed your content writing , you must proof read your article for any spelling and grammar mistakes.This will be the theme of my next post.
