Booklet Length: 7596 Words

What's the secret to blogging success? It all starts with the content you create. You see, it's impossible to build a profitable blog if you're NOT providing value to visitors.

In "How to Write Great Blog Posts that Engage Readers" you'll get a simple system for writing blog posts that readers love!

Take Your Blog to the NEXT Level...

Once upon a time, blogging was a platform for sharing your thoughts with the world. Now it has become a big business. You can’t write about yourself and expect to make money.

What you need to do is create content in a strategic way where you're building a business.

Always remember this:

Most people read blogs for selfish reasons. Their loyalty largely depends on how much value you provide. They may "like" you, but they’ll stop reading the moment you stop publishing great content.

Your goal is to always answer the "what's in it for me?" question that people have about your website.

What you'll get with this booklet is a proven recipe for publishing great posts on a regular basis. You won’t just learn how to write the occasional “one hit wonder.” Instead you'll discover a method for cranking out great articles on a weekly basis.

Follow the 5-Step Compelling Content Action Plan

"How to Write Great Blog Posts that Engage Readers" details a proven strategy for building a rock-solid publishing plan.

Inside this booklet you'll discover:

19 Compelling Blog Post Ideas

5 Steps to an Actionable Blog Post Schedule

12 Elements of Engaging Blog Posts

How to Improve the Quality of Your Blog Content

9 "Must Read" Content Creation Resources


You can write great blog posts! Just follow this blueprint and you'll learn how to do it.

Even though I have been blogging for three years, Steve Scott's ebooklet was a concise, practical, helpful, and reinforcing guide that provided useful tips I plan to use. He offers a list of 19 options for blog post types along with title examples, a scheduling approach for those who need tools to stay disciplined, excellent tips for writing readable posts, and a number of blog enrichment tools. This booklet is one in a series and for 99 cents you can't go wrong. There is a bit more pitching of his other ebooks than I would have liked, but that's how you can offer information at such an affordable price. I read it twice and even took notes. I also wanted to study his format as I have an interest in trying my hand at an ebook or two of my own.

If you are serious about succeeding as a blogger in today’s highly competitive blogosphere, then you must read How To Write Great Blog Posts That Engage Readers by Steve Scott.

 Steve Scott promises to teach you How To Write Great Blog Posts That Engage Readers, and he makes good on that promise in a 35-page booklet. I have read many books on blogging that promises to teach you how to master the art of blogging that were lengthy tomes compared to How To Write Great Blog Posts That Engage Readers but their authors failed to make good on their promise. Scott makes good on his promise in 35-pages because there’s no fluff or filler words in his book, it’s all solid meat. Although his book is a powerful standalone resource, he provides links to other resources that expand upon what he teaches in his little book. The links he provides, unlike many of the links in similar books, work. They aren’t broken links.
 
If you are just getting started as a blogger, or even if you have been blogging for a while, you need to read, no, not read, study this book. It will turn you into an “A-List Blogger.”

This is a useful little guide for creating a blog. Even if you're doing it for fun, you may want to create a publishing schedule and collect data on your posts (like unique page views, social media shares, and comments). This helps you keep track of your posts, topics, and reader engagement. As you identify a pattern in what readers like to see, you can improve your writing and selection of topics.

Good Reading for a novice or an experience blogger

The author created an excellent structure of what, when and how to create a blog. The instructions are simple with a lot of examples and reference. It is good to create a scheduler to built your blog, which is the first time that I see this technique of planning. The book is not long, but provide a lot of information for a blogger.

For the most part, this was decent.
I’m a copy and content writer, and I was looking for insight on how to analyse the metrics. That’s touched on for a few pages, but I still enjoyed the rest. If nothing else, it’s inspired me to have a play around with some of the types of blog posts the author has mentioned.

There’s a lot of basic ideas here but it’s fantastic for someone who hasn’t started blogging yet or is relatively new.

A solid guide. I liked it.

While overall ebook was easy to read and packed with tons of information. For me there was no follow through on how to create this content. I'm blogger in field of millions and while I think my blog is different in reality it's just like the others. I got this book in hopes of was more of an how to in laymans terms.

A quick read with some helpful hints. Much of it is common sense for someone with a writing background, but there are some good suggestions for online tools someone just starting out may not have heard of. Or if someone has been blogging for a while and wants to take things more seriously they should find some nuggets of wisdom on how to do so.

So much value packed in one small, well-written ebook!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book, rather than reiterating more of the same unhelpful and vague stuff I've read countless times on the internet, actually answered many of my questions and delivered on the title's promise.

I strongly recommend it to anyone who is already blogging or intends to blog in the near future.

Good ideas to increase post effectiveness geared toward existing bloggers

This book had a lot of good ideas for systematically turning out solid content. Geared for those with existing blogs, it is still a good read for those starting out to ensure solid content from day one.

I gave three stars because blogging is not my cup of tea. This book may be useful to bloggers.
In my view, this book is like the content commonly available on the internet. Not worth to read as a book.

Fantastic book

This is a great book, with a lot of ideas and guidance on publishing great posts, the only downside is that it's quite old. Information and strategies change all the time, so this is the only reason it lost a start rating. It would be nice if it had been updated.
