I understand I made you perform a lot of steps before hitting the publish button.
But now that you have learned all these steps, publishing your next blog post won’t take much time.
So, go ahead and start writing your blog posts.
The more you write, the more you become proficient with WordPress and content writing.
Here are some key things to remember before hitting the publish button:
- Put some effort into writing good titles for your blog post. Good titles will attract users to your website.
- Make sure to properly format the content written. Especially avoid giant walls of paragraphs.
- Try including presentations and videos in your article to make it more engaging. It will help people stay on your website for a longer period of time.
- Images must be compressed before uploading them to WordPress. Uncompressed images will affect the loading speed of your website negatively and make the users leave.
- Check all the hyperlinks inside your post so there are no broken links. Broken links frustrate the users.
- Make sure to upload a featured image for your blog post. A meaningful and good-looking featured image will draw visits to your content.
- Make sure to add categories and tags to your blog post so that it can be grouped with other similar content on your blog, and if possible, try to plan the categories upfront for your entire blog so that your content is organized in a high-quality way.
When you follow all these best practices, you’ll turn an average blog post into a great one.
Anyway, in the next module, you’ll learn how to manage your blog and be given some challenges along the way.
