How To Write A Blog To Get It Seen
How to Write a Blog and Get It Seen (Without Losing Your Mind)
So, you’ve decided to write a blog and want to make sure it’s not just your mom hitting “refresh” a hundred times? You’re in the right place! Blogging may sound like a solitary activity involving pajamas and endless coffee refills, but I’m here to make it fun—and most importantly, help you get seen by the masses (or at least more than just your cat).
1. Find That Perfect Topic (Without Staring at the Wall for Hours)
First things first—what in the world do you write about? If you’re thinking of topics like “The Life and Times of My Succulent Plant,” you might want to reconsider. The trick is finding something people actually want to read about. And how do you do that? By sneaking into their minds like an SEO ninja! Use tools like Ahrefs or Google Keyword Planner to figure out what people are Googling at 3 a.m. (spoiler: it’s probably not your succulents).
Pro tip: Topics like "How to Start a Blog Without Crying" or "Why Coffee Is the Only Boss I Listen To" are likely to be relatable.
2. Titles That Scream ‘Click Me!’
Now that you’ve got a topic, it’s time to come up with a title that says, “You NEED to read this or you’ll forever wonder what could have been.” Think The Bachelor level drama but for blog titles.
Use words like “Amazing,” “Epic,” or “Unbelievable” because let’s face it, everyone loves a good hype train. Throw in some numbers too—people can’t resist a list. For example: “5 Ways to Write a Blog That Will Make You Famous (Kind Of).”
3. Writing Like a Pro (or at Least Faking It)
Ah, the actual writing part. Here’s where you get to shine. If you’re waiting for inspiration to hit you like a lightning bolt, spoiler: it doesn’t work that way. Get your idea down, no matter how messy, and then you can clean it up. Think of your first draft as that one friend who shows up to brunch in pajamas—you love them, but they need a little polishing before hitting the real world.
Here’s a secret weapon: the PAS Formula (Problem, Agitate, Solve). It’s like the 3-step skincare routine for blogging. Start by stating a problem (no one’s reading your blog), make it worse (Google doesn’t even know you exist), and then BAM—solve it (this blog post!).
4. SEO: The Magic Words That Summon Google (Sort Of)
SEO is basically wizardry for getting Google to notice you. You’re going to want to sprinkle your target keywords into your post like you’re seasoning a soup—lightly and naturally. Not like your aunt with the salt shaker.
But wait, there’s more! Use those handy header tags (like the ones you’re reading now) to give your blog structure, making it easier for both readers and Google to understand. It’s like organizing your closet, but with fewer existential crises.
And please, for the love of Wi-Fi, remember to optimize your images. Add alt text to them so Google knows your picture of a coffee mug isn’t just… a coffee mug.
5. Include Fun Visuals (Because Words Alone Are So Last Year)
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a well-placed GIF is worth a million clicks. Break up the wall of text with images, infographics, or even memes if your audience loves them. And don't forget to caption them like you’re the next New Yorker cartoonist.
Plus, it’s scientifically proven (don’t ask me for sources) that visuals make people think you know what you’re talking about. So go ahead, throw in a well-placed photo and make your blog post look pro-level

6. Promote Like It’s Your Full-Time Job (Oh Wait, It Kinda Is)
You’ve written the blog post of your dreams, but now what? Well, my friend, it’s time to shout it from the virtual rooftops—aka, social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram—heck, even Pinterest (trust me, it’s a goldmine for blog traffic).
And don’t forget to actually ask your readers to share your post. You’d be surprised how many bloggers skip this step. Throw in a little humor, like “Share this post and I’ll send you good vibes through the internet.”
7. Be Consistent (But Not Like That One Gym Membership You Bought)
I get it—life gets busy. But if you want to get readers, you’ve got to be consistent. No one wants to follow a blog that posts once in a blue moon (unless it’s about actual blue moons). The key is to set a realistic schedule. Even once a week is great!
Pro tip: Plan ahead and write a few posts in advance. That way, when Netflix calls your name, you’ve still got fresh content ready to roll.
8. Track Your Success (Because Who Doesn’t Love Charts?)
Once your post is live, it’s time to nerd out with analytics. Google Analytics is your new best friend, and it’ll tell you where your readers are coming from and what posts are performing. If your post on "How to Survive Without Coffee for 24 Hours" is tanking, it might be time to update it (or reconsider the concept entirely—no one wants that).
Final Words of Wisdom (and a Shameless Plug)
Blogging is a marathon, not a sprint. So, take it one post at a time and have some fun with it! And if you’re looking for a tool to help you manage the chaos, be sure to visit BizStack Pro for all your blogging needs.
Now, go forth and conquer the blogosphere—preferably with a cup of coffee in hand.
