Some bloggers ask, "What is the ideal length of an article? "'. If they have less than 600 words, you'll have a hard time offering your readers something that's truly valuable. If they have more than 1,500 words, you'll have a hard time keeping the article structured and coherent.

Sure, you can write shorter and longer papersowl, but stick to a standard article length until you feel comfortable with it.

Writing your first draft

Some bloggers like to have ideas and plan posts - but struggle when it comes to putting words on the page.

Here's how to write your first draft:

Make sure you have a clear structure in place. This may mean having all the points on your list in writing, or using one of the ready-made ideas below.

Avoid distractions. Yes, you've heard this before, but what are you going to do? Writing takes a lot of concentration and energy, so try using the Pomodoro technique or a similar technique to write in short bursts ... and don't check your Twitter/Facebook/email until the allotted time is up.

Don't try to be perfect. You'll have as much time as you want to modify it, so don't worry if the sentence is a little weird or if you miss some crucial information. Keep moving forward in your article.

Attack your first point/first paragraph directly main(e) instead of starting with the introduction. Once you write the article, it will be easier to create a proper introduction.

Imagine you are writing an topresume to a friend. What advice would you give? How would you like to write? Use this as the basis of your blog. (A great way to take this a step further is to do a Q&A type post where you answer your readers' questions, you might just find that your writing is smoother than ever.)

Great endeavors ...

Introduction You have to do a lot of work, almost as much as the title. It has to hook the reader and make them want to read more, It also has to pave the way for what follows, you could write an amazing and catchy introduction but which loses all its weight if it doesn't actually have anything to do with the rest of your article.

Here are a few simple but powerful ways to introduce your article:

With a question. They help readers engage by getting them to think (or at least agree), For example, "How do you keep yourself fresh, inspired, and creative as a blogger? "

With a quote. This can be a great way to start if your article is built on something another blogger has written. Some bloggers use motivational or inspirational quotes at the beginning of all their articles - Alex Blackwell's The Bridgemaker (The Bridge Builder) is a good example.

To wit. A mini life story, if it's relevant to your article and if you keep it short enough, can help your readers feel connected to you.

And Big Conclusions

While it's clear that introductions are important, conclusions can seem less so. However, they do have a crucial role to play. In fact, if you conclude too abruptly, you miss a great opportunity.

The majority of your heytutor visitors will be crippled by passivity. They'll never comment, they won't vote in polls, they won't subscribe to your feed or newsletters, they won't buy the affiliate products you recommend, they won't refer a friend to your blog... They won't vote for you on social media and most of them will never come back.
