1. Write now, edit later
Editing is the process of tidying up that sloppy first draft of your blog post and making it ready for the world. However, editing comes later in the writing process.
Professional writers do not pause after each sentence to double-check their work.
Okay, perhaps some of them do. Professional writers who are productive get that sloppy first draft onto the page. When this draft is finished, they return to read and edit what they’ve written.
It will take hours to reach the publish button if you stop after every sentence to change, tweak, polish, and refine your blog post. Rather, write the entire post in one long, sloppy session. After that, edit it.
2. Write an outline
Before you write, break your blog post into several different sections using pen and paper.
These include:
- Introduction
- Body
- Conclusion
The body may include two or three additional sections, and if you’re writing a long post, include extra sections for transitioning from one section to the next. For each section, write down a single word or theme. Write a single bullet point for each item on your list if you’re writing a list post.
Continue to expand on these themes or bullet points. Make a list of what you want to say in the conclusion and introduction. Now apply this outline to your post.
This will take ten to twenty minutes, and it will save you from the horrible moment when you realize you’ve written 500 or 1,000 words that won’t engage your readers.
3. Write your conclusion
Your conclusion is where you bring your ideas together in a few short but succinct sentences. It’s also where you’ll put your call to action.
Writing this earlier will allow you to concentrate on the narrative of your post.
Make a list of the main points of your piece. Explain what you said and why it is correct. It makes no difference if you haven’t yet proven your point. That’s a minor issue that you can address after you’ve written the conclusion.
4. Set a timer
Long blog posts, like gas, expand and take over everything. Set boundaries around your post if you’re having trouble progressing it.
Set a thirty-minute alarm. Work on your post without pause or interruption until the buzzer sounds.
You can use these half-hour slots for one task related to your post, such as writing, editing, or formatting it in WordPress. If it helps, set a goal for yourself to reach a certain number of words before the buzzer goes off.
This forces you to do more with less.
Conclusion
Writing is difficult work, but don’t devote your entire day to it.
Using these writing tips, you can cut the time it takes to finish a blog post and focus on increasing blog traffic.
The best part about writing faster is that you’ll complete and publish more posts. And with each post you complete, you take another step closer to becoming the type of blogger you’ve always wanted to be.
