How to Write a Blog Post for Beginners: From Start to End
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- Today I want to walk you through how to write a blog post as a beginner.
I get tons of questions about this, and I wanna give you all the juicy details.
So, writing blog posts is really the core of what you do as a blogger.
And I've got over 130 blog posts on my blog, and I've been blogging for almost 10 years, so there're so many things I wish I knew when I started.
So today, I'm giving away exactly what I do from beginning to end when I write a blog post.
Inside your blog post, you can teach people, inspire them with your idea, or sell something, a product, or a service.
And you can apply my process of writing blog posts to different types of content.
I'm doing the same thing when I'm planning for a YT video, or maybe you want to create a podcast.
It works for both.
Now, to make it easy for you and so I don't lose my head in all the details, I've structured this video into three parts.

You gave the most information in one video about blogging from start to finish than any other people talking a lot without giving these golden nuggets!! Thank you!!
There’s so much value here, thank you! Your channel is amazing ❤
Thanks a bunch!! Your videos have connected a lot of dots for me that other creators couldn't. You were straight to the point and covered a lot of incredibly useful topics. Love it!
Thank you for your amazing content! I've had my blog for a couple years but haven't done much with it. I recently decided to start putting in the effort to make quality content and get my blog really rolling, and this video (along with other posts of yours) is already helping me so much.
Thank you for saying that it takes time! I appreciate that very much. I’m so excited to start blogging and I’m overflowing and a little overwhelmed so I’m happy to hear you say it takes time. Thank you🙏🙏🙏💗
Honestly, this has been by far the best video. Thank you for taking your time to explain everything!
Love how clear your explanations are. Thanks for making this seem achievable!
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you!
I think I just fell in love with this channel. Thank you for your work.
I feel like this was the missing link I had to starting my first couple of posts. Thank you for breaking it down to these three topics. I’m really excited to start my first couple of posts!
Thank you for valuable information Katie ! High 5 ! Wishing you lots of success
So well thought out and informative. Thanks !!!!
I've got to write Blogs as an assignment and literally taught Ughhh it would be like writing a letter should take me 1 or 2 hours after editing and proofreading, until I decided to just browse and see how this Blogging thing is done since I've never done it before.
WOW I've been blown away and so glad I decided to browse Google instead of just going into my assignment thinking and believing it's like letter writing.
NOW it makes sense WHY I've been allocated a full working day... Thanks for the helpful tips your info is very detailed and so easy to follow. You're a great HELP! Much Love and BIG THANK YOU.
Hey Katie, You are amazing at whatever topic you talk about in youtube videos. Thank you for educating and inspiring us. You are too good at making complex ideas into simple concepts. Keep supporting Katie.
Ahh thank you so much!
Brilliant! Thank you, Katie.🙏🏿❤
Ok, so I NEVER EVER EVER comment on youtube videos and in fact I don't think I have ever commented on anyone's videos until today. I just wanted to say thank you for so many resources you have mentioned in your video. I have only come across very gimmicky and salesy type of how-to videos where they just want to make money off of you and sell you their courses....and probable lying through most of their content on how they make 6 figures a month. I really appreciate all of your information and I have seen many of your videos so far. I hope this will help me start blogging soon and become successful with your tips!
This is really great! I didn't think about jotting everything down on paper..
Excellent video on how to write and publish a blog post on your blog/website. I create websites and I have written some blog posts. One more thing I would like to add is image compression in order to keep the image file sizes as small as possible. This will help your website load quickly, which is a big part of SEO. In case you didn't mention this, but, I believe you did, using the alt tag is also very important. It describes the image to the visually impaired who are using a screen reader to surf the internet. For example, miniature French poodle named Suzette, could be the alt tag for a photo of your miniature French poodle name Suzette. I did not know about the Pinterest chrome extension.
Thank you Katie! This is so informative & helpful!
This video was super helpful! Thank you!
Fanstastic video! Thanks for sharing your insights on how you do things. I love watching how other bloggers do things :D but since I am visual person, I would have liked to see what you're talking about. I'm also a blogger and knew exactly what you're talking about, but for newbies, this can be a little too overwhelming - may be a good thing to keep in mind for the future
Thank you for mentioning it's BS make a good blog post in 1 hr. It validate my frustration and feeling that I'm not working fast enough 😂
When I found out that on average blogs take 5-6 hours i was ROCKED!! this whole time i was being so unreasonable with myself...
@@suicideshy451 yes, that's about it. I feel so normal now and enjoy the process due to reasonable expectation 😬
I've gained a lot. Thank you for your dedication to empower others.
The information you gave was very useful this will help my get a passing grade in my ENG class thank you so much.
Thanks Katie. Very informative. I am new to all this.
I love your videos! I am starting a blog and every time I search my next question, you're right there with a very detailed explanation :) You provide so much value- thank you!
@mindfulwithmaria what are you bogging about?
I am watching this after 2 years of posting and this helped. Thank you
Lots of value here. Thank you
Thank you for making this video. Wonderful information and definitely needed.
Yey thanks Yevette!
Very well explained. Thank you so much ❤
Katie, your TH-cam videos are invaluable! Thank you!
Ah thank you glad to hear that!
Awesome and thorough video, Katie! Can't agree more with you! As a blogger, you have to write for your audience and not for yourself. But, it always helps to choose a topic that interests you. As the old saying goes, “No fun for the writer, no fun for the reader.”
Ahh love that saying!!
How to create a blog/article without site
Brilliantly presented - but as a beginner needs time to digest and understand.
I think that was awesome I'm new here to learn how to make my own blog
I've recently started my travel blog, so this is really helpful info. I've heard about creating an email list from a lot of people, so I know it's important. What I don't know is what I should send them in the emails. I'm struggling with time just to write, edit, edit images (probably the most time) & creating pins (2nd most amount of time), then posting & promoting. If I start an email list, I want to provide something worthwhile to the people who have taken the time to subscribe. What would be different about the email from the blog post? For new bloggers, are you simply sending an announcement about the newest blog? Or providing different content for your subscribers? Thank you for this excellent video!
great video im trying to launch a blog and i thought I knew everything but one tidbit i didn't know is that i could make videos private and link them to my blog from youtube! I thought they had to be public so thank you that was an amazing tip!!
Great to hear that - I think I made a mistake though it‘s not private but „unlisted“. So people on youtube can’t see it - sorry about that 🫣
Love you too thanks Katie well said
Special thanks for the Pinterest info...very helpful. Thanks!
amazing explanation Katie🥰
Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge! Question: For one blog article, do we continuously create new (variations of design) of pins to post?
great information would be great to provide visual examples, thank you for sharing
That was fantastic, thank you so much x
Thank you Karen ❤️ happy to hear that and glad it was helpful
Thanks Katie for this awesome video. Please how do you add the opt in form to your post?
This tutorial is awesome K, I love it. Well explained thumbs up. 😎
Ahh thanks Daniel 🙌🙌
@@KatieGrazer you're welcome 😊
Pure and innocent soul.Gems like her is hard to find in this erra of deception.
Great advice, very informative.
Ps love your accent 🙂
Thank you! :)
You help me a lot
It's my first video but I'm a big fannnnnnnnn, it was so easy to understand!!! Thanks so much, God bless you
Ahh thank you so much for watching!
So amazing and easy to understand
Knowing your audience and writing in-depth how-to tutorials always help; however, as a blogger, we need to keep things in our heads for better visibility, such as SEO and writing quality content. And tools like Moz, Ahref, and Bloghandy save a lot of time to do all the SEO analysis for your articles, and maintaining your blog seems effortless with a tool like BlogHandy. :)
Thanksssssss
Thank you
Do you know where I could get a blog template showing the elements (headings ...) so I can see the structure. I've written the content of the blog, but it's not formatted. I think if I had a template, a sample indicating the formatting ... it would help. Thank you.
finally, your video is live😅
Yes, so sorry about not posting more regularly, but I hope you like today's video :)
zoom out and zoom in effect is cool 😄
Thank you! I'm just trying out different editing techniques to make the videos more fun for you guys to watch :)
I love love your videos, but the zoom in and out is making me feel like motion sickness :( still LOVE the advice though!
I love you too 🎉🎉❤
thank you
You're welcome!
Hi,
Your video are awesome and very useful. I'm trying to do them but couldn't do consistently due to my job, anyways I will start soon.
I need a clarification, please give your advice.
If I start a blog free with blogger, add trending high key word search content, will Google show me in 1st page, also if I add pages and add different topics of trending content with used good key words, does Google show my any of pages on 1st page of search for appropriate keyword search?. Will free blogger blog monetize by Google... I don't know anyone to ask these questions, kindly help. Thanks.
❤
Echt, du bist Deutsche (bzw Schweizerin)?? Hätte ich so jetzt nicht gemerkt:) Ich lese den Untertitel😬😅Tolle Videos, danke!
Hey Marie-Antoinette, ahh das freut mich zu hören! Danke!
How many blog posts are good for a blog? Like if write 2 a week then my blog will be filled up with posts. Is there a such thing as too many blog posts?
your channel is underrated
ahh thanks appreciate that 💛
After even watching this video.. i cannot write an article.. so what should I do pls reply
Hello katie, this is unrelated but I have a question about Pinterest creator rewards! If you don't hit the goal, will you not get paid? Just wondering cause i have pins that have almost reached the goal but haven't gone into the total earnings tab. Thank you!
Hey riri, no, you have to hit the goal and then they do a review to check if you really did comply with all the goals. Pretty strict 😅
Hey Katie, I have a question for you, I recently created a Pinterest page so how many pins are needed to rank and to get more views on pinterest?
I'm really sorry but there isn't one number I can give you. The algorithm and your pin engagement decides which pins rank. Just keep posting and improving your content and pins and eventually you'll start seeing more and more success. You can do it.
who do you contact to monetize?
Hello Mrs Charlotte, thank you for this. I will come back here to give you more good news after aonahvw tried this. Thank you once again.
Please help me,i just sign up and i don't how to do all dis
Hi Katie I WORK IN bailysquared and pubbrish and kueez in pinterest but very big lose please help mi

I m from India. So, could u pls explain in Hindi.. from which I could get proper knowledge.. plz

I don't like short blogs that are less than 4000 words lmfao. reading isn't hard to do if the content is interesting.
I'm dyslexic and getting tested for ADHD. If your readers aren't focused, writing shorter blogs isn't going to increase your reader's retention lol
good info otherwise.
Total Bullcrap
Total bulcrap
So this is for beginners and you TALK about it but no visuals or anything? Kinda like telling a child I'm going to teach you your ABCs. You say ok A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,I,L,N,O,P,Q,R,X,Z,U,V,W,X,Y,Z. There, now right it down. Lol, thanks for nuthin! All the comments about how beautiful you are IS NOT helping a Beginner Blogger. Do some visuals
