How to write readable and useful blog
An article is a piece of useful information written either as hard or soft copy.
Many people start up a blog without knowing how to write readable and useful blog/article.
Note; An article must be informative and useful. If the information you are passing doesn't solve any problem, then its all garbage and waste of time to readers.
In fact statistics says that an uninteresting article is usually abandoned by the reader within the first 5 seconds of glancing through it. Same way an interesting article will catch the readers attention even within 3 seconds.
But don't worry, in this article I will guide you on things you need to do to make your article simple and readers friendly.
So if you are writing an article the first thing you do is
-choosing the right title or topic for your article
-Also remember that the readers are looking for information to solve their problems, and I've already told you in the beginning of this article that your article should be Useful.
-Your article should be concise, (correct spellings and sentences) straight to the point, don't beat around the bush.
-Have a good knowledge about the topic before writing an article on it, as no reader will love to finish reading a post and get more confused than before.
-Descriptive articles are the best, i.e Articles that show the readers how it's done and with images or screenshots of the steps to take.
Okay imagine one day i was going through an article, and it was about a soccer player and the blogger didn't even thought of adding the player's photo. I was reading a post and as well Googling to see the exact player he was referring to.
So immediately a reader leaves your blog to Google for that key information that you missed in your article, he or she will not come back to your blog. They always remain where the information is.
-It's very important you learn how to use headers or headings in your articles. Headings allow the readers understand easily the next step or phase of the discussion. It makes the discussion flow easily.
Let's say you wrote an article about "How to Cure Coronavirus" because you have no headings and have a lot of information all stuffed together, for a quick reader who needed just that How? information will be frustrated trying to go through all the article line after line, but if you have a heading within the article that says "Steps to Cure Coronavirus" you see the reader knows that he or she is likely to get this particular key information under this heading.
For bloggers using Blogger.com, using heading from the post editor is very easy as you can see in the screenshot below

Once you click on "New Post" and make sure post is on "Compose" mode, take your cursor to where I circled red and choose to write Heading orSubheading.
-Finally always have a good conclusion or satisfactory summary.
