Blogging 101: Thought Process: How I Write a Blog Post.

When planning a blog post there are several things to do before jumping in the deep end and saying something that will come back to haunt you...
Here is the process I go through when i am going to write something: I start by asking myself the following:
1. What are you going to write about?
I will start with an idea or topic either from the top of my head or from something I have seen or read about.
2. Who is your target audience?
Selecting a target audience is important as you don't want to spend time writing an article to then aim it at the wrong readers.
A target audience is not just about age and gender in modern day media as many people may think... A target audience falls under many categories including: location, interests,
3.Research and development.
When it comes to writing about other people, places and things you should have some knowledge of the subject to back up your work so you don't say something you regret later...
4. Draft
I use the draft feature on blogger on all the time as it allows me to write blog post and hold them for posting in the future. The draft feature is great for putting together an article and useful for putting together the post.
5. Check it twice
Always check your article for spelling and make sure it has formatted properly as you may see something different when it goes live so always preview your posts before posting.
6. Post it
With a few clicks of the mouse your post will be live so be sure you are happy with it and it is ready to post.
7. Social Media
To maximise the exposure of your content be sure to post links on social media such as twitter and facebook.
I hope this helps people to see what goes in to blogging and and the thought process behind it.
