This is just an example of a structured outline. But it works very well. The key is to make all of the numbered items very similar and follow a pattern so that you can write your posts very quickly.
Get the structured content out of the way first before your “inner perfectionist” starts taking over!
Now, let’s break down the 6 main parts of this structured outline.
1. YOUR INTRO:
This is where you grab the readers attention. You should clearly explain what they are going to learn in the post, so that they know they have arrived at the right place. Remember, most people just skim through posts so keep it brief.
2. YOUR ORDERED LIST:
Don’t think to hard about it. Just break down your topic into a numbered list of some kind. 5 ways to do this, or 11 ways to do that. When you break your content up like this, it makes it easy to read, and easy to learn from. Generally speaking, you should use H2 tags on your ordered list. If you don’t understand that, just Google it.
3. YOUR PICTURES:
Most of the time you can grab these from Google Images, unless it’s copyright protected stuff. Here are some quick picture tips. When saving pictures to your desktop, rename them, with more relevant titles. Then upload them to your blog, and change the width of the pictures to 100% and leave the height empty. This will automatically fit them across the page. Or make them all 80% to leave a little room. Keep it simple and structured!
4. YOUR PROMOTIONAL LINKS:
Do this last. When you are all done with your article, throw a few “Bonus Links” throughout your post. If you have a lot of posts to promote, then do one bonus link per numbered item. Or every other numbered item.
5. YOUR SUMMARY:
This is where you summarize the takeaway from your article and bring closure to it. This section should be short and straight to the point. Ultimately it should bring everything together and make it easy to understand.
6. YOUR CALL TO ACTION:
This is easily the most important part of your entire blog post! You should have a specific plan for what you want your readers to do next. Hopefully it’s to opt-in to your email list so that you can follow up with them.
Is this starting to make sense?
