    Before you start writing your first blog post, you should make a content plan.

    You can use Excel or a Trello board. Here’s a .
    The Trello board also has a checklist to help you write the perfect article. Click “More” on the right sidebar and click “https://sms-man.com/blog/how-to-successfully-run-your-blog/

    I did a video of the PMES formula that can absolutely help with copy writing.
    You can find it on youtube.

    This is a very subjective thing I believe. Some may like your current blog posts while some may not. Even if you do 2-3 courses and write, there will be few who will still not like the quality of your content.

    So, if one is to generalize it, the more you write & read, the more better you'll become. Just keep writing and evaluate time to time. You can also ask people to give you feedback anonymously so that chances of the feedback being genuine can help you a lot.

    Thank you guys for your help. I really struggle with perfectionism. I think that I need to embrace my lack of good writing. But it seems like a waste of time to me because I think that if the blog post is not good enough it won't rank. And that's what holding me back. I am learning every day and hope that one day I become a great writer. Can you guys look at my blog posts and skim through them to see if my content is any good?
    Here is a blog post I recently wrote ...

    https://www.websiteseconomy.com/post/6

    I don't want to link to it so I don't get banned.
    You can copy and paste the link.

    The post quality is good but the way its written/formatted is pretty awful. You need to learn how to write paragraphs instead of short sentences. I use this one trick, wherein whenever I want to write something I put myself/imagine that I'm speaking to some friend of mine on 1 to 1 basis and whatever I'll be speaking I just write it down. From my head to my hands, to my fingers and to the keyboard.

    Don't give so much thinking into the content just feel free to 1st generate the content and then later you can format it because I think from the post you linked, a lot of thinking was done for each sentence, am I right? ;) Its good but not very productive.

    Will suggest you to do a short course on Content Marketing on coursera. I finished it few days back and it really gave me a lot of insights on improving my writing. Goto Coursera and search for Content Marketing. You'll get the courses, select the one from UC Davis / Sonia Simmone - The Strategy of Content Marketing. Its a free course and you can finish it quickly within a week. Easy too and simple English is used.

    Few tips:
    - read out loud your article to see if they sound well
    - use synonyms to avoid to repeat a word which is too much used
    - if possible wait 1 day to read again and check your article before publication

    It's important to be well-read and knowledgeable about your topic. Write about things you're passionate about, and take the time to revise and edit your work. Be clear, concise, and interesting, and your readers will keep coming back for more!

    There are a few things you can do to get better at writing blog posts:

    1. Practice writing regularly. The more you write, the better you'll get at it.

    2. Read other blogs and learn from their formatting, style, and approach.

    3. Find a friend or colleague who is also a writer and brainstorm ideas together.

    4. Join a writing group or online forum. This can be a great way to get feedback on your work and learn from other writers.

    5. Stay positive and don't get discouraged if your first few attempts aren't perfect. Rome wasn't built in a day!

    Imagine you are talking to your best friend. Reading other blogs in the same niche for tone and flow is also helpful. Then, practice mimicking the style (NOT THE COPY). Learning SEO is excellent for pushing traffic but not necessarily for reader retention. Tools like Grammarly can help ensure your copy is correct.

    Keep sentences short and to the point. Avoid big words at all costs. This seems simple, but it's actually quite tough.

    I can recommend a course at coursera.org about copywriting. I passed it last year and it helped me a lot to write better headers and more useful content.

    I think you need to start reading more bloggers than just writing down your own thoughts on paper, so it can be a unique article. You can start from a single paragraph to a 2000 - 3000 word whole content, you need to make a structure for your blog when you reach your height of writing. Never copy any of the content.
