If you are blogging for dollars, like the tend seems to be, you might have realized how difficult it can be to write good articles. Good articles will effectively lead to you making more money, since who wants to read bad articles? I’ve written bad articles, probably too many. I’ve been attempting to redeem myself by putting more time and thought into my blog posts. Shouldn’t you do the same? Or is this just another bad blog article?

Stick with a style
I’ve been known to dibble and dabble in writing what I call “good articles”. I’ve changed my style, including the layout of this blog more than once. I did a lot of experimenting and have finally started settling down on a style. Bloggers want to know what to expect when they visit your blog. Your visitors visit your blog for a reason and be sure to offer them the same thing again and again. Remember, good blog articles don’t have any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, fix them as soon as you notice them.

Make it easy to understand the content
I like to make sub headings in each blog like the one I just made “make it easy to understand the content”. This makes it easy to look through, see what I’m writing about and know what to expect in each blog post.

Repeat your title in your blog post for SEO
Though it seems a little strange to repeat what you wrote in your blog title over and over again, I do it for a reason. Good blog articles are not just about the content, you also want people to be able to find them when they search for them in a search engine. Repeated the title of your post is used for Search Engine Optimation purposes. Google looks at the title of the page and then looks to see how many times those are repeated in your article. Say someone searches for “How to write good blog articles”. Google is going to look through my article and see “blog articles” repeated throughout my post and then realize, oh, this post must be about blog articles and therefore give me better chances to have my “good blog articles” rank higher on certain keyword terms.

Blogging can be depressing!
Don’t worry if no one is reading what you write, just keep chugging away at those good articles. I’ve been more or not depressed that no one has been reading my articles and at times when my reader subscription has fallen. You wonder things like what am I doing wrong? Having a great blog full of great posts can in any case be used to get you freelance positions. Use your blog as a representation of your best work.
