About Outline
What makes a blog post bad?
There are lots of reasons a blog post could be less-than-perfect. Poor formatting. Poor grammar. Poor word choice. Poor flow. Or your blog post is a massive block of text. When you get a blog post idea in your head, it’s tempting to sit down and start banging on the keyboard right away. But that would be a mistake.
Luckily, you have a simple solution. Before diving headfirst into writing your post, you should create an outline.
Hello, I’m Gennady Batrakov from Blogely, and for me, the key to creating a great piece of content is in creating a good outline for what I’m about to do first.
I’m going to show you this outlining process that can be done effectively using Blogely. Before we review how it is being done, let me talk briefly about why creating an outline is so important to the quality of the end product.
Writing requires you to come up with sophisticated, complex, and sometimes very creative ways of structuring your ideas. Taking the time to draft an outline can help you determine if your thoughts connect to each other, what order of ideas works best, or any gaps in your thinking.
It is basically about the structure and the clarity of communication.
Boring content is usually a result of a lack of structure and lack of clarity. So, before you start creating content, you need to make sure to have an outline and structure in your mind.
The outline helps you stay organized and focused throughout the writing process. But, the outline should be viewed as a guide, not a straitjacket. You must be able to adjust your outline quickly, and use it as boundaries for your message.
Think of your outline as a skeleton — a tool for the delivery of your message. It will serve as the backbone of your writing, providing you with a solid structure on which to build. However, it is your job to flesh out and enrich it. Use your creative flair to make the bare bones more appealing and accessible to your audience.
Use Blogely to create an outline of your main points and also to be able to reorganize and move them around.
One of the advantages of Blogely’s approach to the outline is in its flexibility – it allows you to quickly move complete blocks around and drag-and-drop them in the order that makes sense.
Try out using the blocks for an outline of the next piece of content you create. And remember that you are not supposed to create the perfect outline from the start. You can always expand it during the process. Make sure to create some notes, add new blocks, move them around. Delete stuff, change stuff. And after just a bit of work, once you get used to this, you have a really crisp outline for what you’re going to talk about.
So that’s it, go check out Blogely, give it a try and let me know how it goes.
So, thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed this and leave a comment letting me know your thoughts or questions.
