I'm gonna share with you the perfect formula that I follow for my own blog. It works for a B2C ,B2B, a personal blog or a corporate blog, it works for everything. I kid you not, it is the best formula out there. First tip: Start off with a title. Don't just start writing a blog post, unless you have the exact title, do not write your blog post.
The second step that you need to follow when it comes to writing a blog post is the introduction. In your introduction, you need to hook people with a bold statement. It's also about talking about what's gonna be covered in the post. Just give them a quick overview on what you're gonna teach them, is a great way to hook them in, as well, to get them to go more into your blog post, read more, and ideally, even leave a comment at the end of your post. Now that we got the introduction done, let's get into your body. Your body should include subheadings. Keep in mind, you want your content easy to skim. If people can't skim it, you're not gonna do well. In your body, use subheadings, and keep your paragraphs around five to six lines max. In addition to that, when you're writing your content in your body, you'll notice that at least on neilpatel.com, I link out to other people. That's part of my formula, it's not just about linking to your own site, it's about linking to other sites. Because what happens is when you link to other websites, you open up your sources, you're citing them, it creates more credibility for you, makes you and your business look more as an expert, and that's what you wanna be perceived at when you're writing content.
Last but not least, you wanna wrap up your post with a conclusion. The conclusion summarizes what your post was about, and you end your conclusion with a question. By ending with the question, more people are more likely to leave a comment. When they leave a comment, it creates engagement. So it's really important you end with a question. And here's what we found with conclusions. Brazing Crazy Egg, we use a scroll mat feature, and what we found through testing was, a lot of people read blog posts, when they first land on them, they quickly scroll to the bottom, check out the conclusion, and then they go back up and read the rest, assuming they like the conclusion. So with your conclusion, make sure you label it "Conclusion".
People love getting back-links, because when you link out to someone, it drives in more traffic. Especially when you're linking to them in a positive way. Hopefully you're not bashing people in your blog post. Stay above that. So when you link up to them, shoot them an e-mail. "Hey Curtis, I have to say I am a huge fan of your work, so much so I linked out to you in my latest blog post. You can check it out here. Cheers, Neil. P.S. If you shared it, it would make my day". That's it. A lot of people who get linked out to, including me, don't mind sharing articles on Twitter.

Comeback to this video whenever you want to follow my formula for writing a blog. Did you find some tips you might have been forgetting when writing? If so what were they?
Sure !
But I have problem in making affiliate sales . Please make a video on that .
Can I know how you created your blog website
Hello, but keyword density matters, if yes then how much time does a key repeat in ur blog post? I am just getting started with blogging
I am working as a writer since 2011. All the tips that you shared will really help me grow. Thanks!
Hei neil.i want to talk with you
That moment you realize you've learned more from 7 UA-cam videos about marketing than you did in about 40% of your college classes... Dedicated to marketing...
That's great!
Exactly
Say no to college and money sucking institutes
bruhhh
@@neilpatel & @jtasgl88 - that is great, it is also sad when you realize you wasted all that time and money in classes studying things you are not using.
“Essay writing 101”
Tell them what you’re going to tell them, TELL them, then tell them what you told them 😁😁
That's right :)
@@neilpatel repetition for emphasis, repeat, repeat repeat,
Yep old hat. Don't fix what ain't broken. K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid with that 'conclusion' subheading. But Neil did add something else with that linking to another site though. That's creative. No? Oh and that bit about ask your readers a question at the end to get them to engage and interact is sweet too.
Adding a question at the end of the blog post was really a brilliant tip. It really keeps the audience engaged with the post by sharing their opinions. Most of the Content Writers miss this. Worth watching your video. Thanks, Neil!
Glad it was helpful! :)
I love that you said ‘stay above that’ regarding links. It’s so important to keep a positive mental attitude
Thanks, Celeste :)
This is absolutely so simple, clear and concise. Nothing fancy. Love you man! Cheers!
You're welcome! :)
I like how you are ready to help anyone and reply almost everyone you could... I appreciate it, not most of others do that.
I love to help you guys :)
I’m just starting my blogging journey and this was very helpful, straight to the point and understandable! Thanks Neil! :)
You're most welcome.
same here! thanks Neil! :)
Hello, how is you blogging journey going?
@@wildmaven21how are your blogs doing today?
@@sanjikun7776 yet to begin - but i'm doing a lot of personal writing that's helping me do it more freely :)
I’ve been writing marketing blogs for a long time over on my website, didn’t think about the conclusion at the bottom. Really great tips, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Can you share your website link with me?
Neil, I'm blinded by the brilliance of simply labeling my CONCLUSION. You outed me, I always scroll to the conclusion before deciding to commit to reading the whole post. It never occurred to me that I'm not the only one doing that. So, just like making site navigation easy so visitors can find what they're interested in quickly---make the content structure work to induce a reader by highlighting the content's value in my conclusion and letting their FOMO propel them back into the rest of the post. I've also found that writing a solid conclusion automatically points out any weak areas of a post. Thanks Neil!
These were exactly my thoughts!
Hi Neil. These tips are great. They make for a fantastic checklist before actually publishing. With that said, I would not necessarily follow them in the order you presented them. I usually start with a working title. Tip 1: I don't do a deep dive for a title until after the content is near final form. Tips 2 & 5: I write my introduction and conclusion after my first draft of the content. As an instructional writer, I use the formula "tell them what you're going to tell them; tell them; tell them what you told them." Once I know what I am going to "tell them," I write the intro (what I'm going to tell them) and conclusion (what I told them.) I love ending the conclusion with a question. It is a great way to help people step into action. Tip 3: Exactly! Tips 4 & 6: Fantastic idea. Will definitely incorporate. Thank you mkw
Hey whatever process works for you, friend :) The important part is just making sure you're producing quality content.
That's a great idea!
I have to give it to you Neil, you're the best!!!! I am a Trainer and one of the topics I teach is SEO. I share your tips to my participants and they work wonders! Huge shout out to you! Keep it up!!!!
Love the idea of ending with a question. Thank you so much!
Of course :)
This is a great video. Watching it for the second time. I love how straightforward you are without a lot of needless fluff. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Neil, your content is very helpful and the delivery is super easy to digest. I really appreciate what you're doing. Thanks for another great video!
Great to hear! Glad you're liking it :)
No I've never written a blog post before
All this free information you give out based on you and your companies mindset "give give give", is truly inspiring. I love your videos and your work.
You are so welcome!
This is really some great tips! I love how you keep it so simple but effective! I started a blog last year and didn't keep up with it and it went NO WHERE. I'm going to start again with your tips. Thanks Neil!
You're so welcome! :)
"When you link up to other people, it flatters them. People love getting back-links, because when you link out to someone, it drives in more traffic" So true, you linked to one of my sites in one of your posts and it totally made my day. :) I was flattered and I bragged about it on social media. I'm sure you got a few hundred visitors from me bragging.
Nice! :)
This is really awesome. I am now learning about this stuff and it's peaking my attention.
How do i do backlinks? Suppose if i want to add you in my article
I have never written a blog, this is my first day - I'm so nervous yet excited. Thanks Neil for the tips. Bless your heart
You got this!

Thanks a lot:)

I'm starting to blog on my website and I found this video very helpful. I'm going to use these tips before I publish my book 1st blog post. Thank you Neil! 🥰🙏🏾
I have been writing blogs for awhile, but always appreciate solid advice - and this was gold legend
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Neil, Your ideas helped me generate more visitors then any of my previous techniques.
Awesome!!
Thanks for this free content Neil! I appreciate it.
You are very welcome, Laurence!!
Yes
YES!
I love this. My biggest downfall is that I never tell people I link that I’ve linked them. Such an important step!
I'm new to this, learning along the way. Thank you Neil
Thank you so much neil you've convinced me to start a blog, you make it sound so easy, i've wanted to start one for a long time now but i did not know how to start. Thank you so much
Go for it!
Can i ask how its going now? I also want to start a blog
Explained in such a simple and effective way. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Yes. Still figuring it out one blog post at a time!
So comprehensive and meaty..thank you Neil for this gold mine!
Very welcome :)
Wow! Great tutorial! I have saved it so I can come back! Thank you for sharing....especially the bonus tip! That's brilliant! 😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for the great tips Neil! Just started a blog and i was puzzled on how to do it. Your tips gave me insights and more creativity now. Thanks bro!
Glad it was helpful!
I simply enjoy listening to you, ring generous with your content. You such a great resources and have certainly build credibility with me and hence your great influence. Well done 👍🏽
Wow, thank you!
This is excellent. Simple and to the point. I know it will work too, based on past experience. I just needed a fresh simple kick in the pants! Thanks, Neil!
Great video. Yes, headlines are so important. A cool thing about Pinterest is that you can use multiple titles on your various pins, even though the actual blog title will stay the same. Some people are awesome at this, and I'm learning. People will literally repin your content multiple times to their boards, if it looks different and has an alternative title - and you get more keywords associated with the post. Love your post formula. It's so true that many things never get old, such as "How To" posts. I'm also starting to link out more often, as well as using internal linking. 😃👍💝
Thank you for sharing!!
Hello Neil ! It's very useful and encouraging for me to start a blog. This is the first vedio I watched after deciding to start one. Loved ur vedio👍

About to start writing a blog, need all the advice I can get! Thanks for posting this video.
You're so welcome!
Have you started ? Where can we find it ?
@@romanmoralesqb1 Having an absolute nightmare setting up. It's going to be an eCommerce website with a blog on the side, I installed OpenCart, but I haven't got the first clue how to use it. Last day of the year working my day job then I have 10 days off, so I am going to try & work it out then & start the blog. Thank you for asking though!
Awesome! Short and to the point. I like videos that are authentic and focused. You do a good job with that. My learning journey is the concept of CONCLUSION. You have simplified it for me and I am ready to use it. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
It was of great help to a beginner like me. Awesome video Neil.
Omg what an amazing tips! I'm glad I found your channel! Tip 1- put title on your post, Tip 2- have an introduction..
The reason I say to start with an optimized title is because your entire blog is going to written based off of that title. I's helpful in the writing process. Not everybody starts with the title.
Also, it's important to have a enticing intro, otherwise you may lose your audience
Great video, super helpful as I start writing blog post to support my travel UA-cam vlogs!
@@neilpatel do rep
@@ChristineLozada pls share link to your travel blogs
@@nisarmalik6704 hahaha
Awesome video. I really love how you explain things point to point unlike other youtubers who share the real information only at the last of the video. Keep it up.
I just have one question : What should be the count of words in an article? Is 500 to 600 words enough? (considering the article is very good and engaging) .
Not enough. I aim for 1,800 words each article.
1800-2000 words is the sweet spot.
I've never written a blog post before. However, I'm definitely trying too. I love the tips. I just hope my blog turns out as sharp as yours.
Incredibly clear explanations. great tips! thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Ok, you convinced me...Will start a blog this weekend. Have to incorporate with videos I guess. Capitulated. :)
Best of luck, Angie!!
@@neilpatel sir I love you.
Yes best of luck and don't be like my friend who announced to the world she would become a blogger. Guess what? She stopped blogging after 2 posts.
@@NicheLaboratory YOu are sooooo right. Not started yet. Something always on the way. Not my nature, usually, but for some reason, I just can't start blogging. Perhaps because I write a lot as a part of my work.
whats your blog called?
I can’t thank you in words about how you help others grow their business and site knowing the fact that one day you only will get more tons of competitors.Hahaha.Thanks for your help.I hope you don’t stop...
