How to Write a Winning Post
Let’s suppose you are writing post on: Best Skincare Routine for Oily Skin
Don’t starting write like:
If you have oily skin, you know the struggle of trying to keep shine and breakouts under control. Here’s a simple skincare routine that can help:
Step 1: Cleanse
Start by washing your face with a gentle, oil-free cleanser twice a day. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil, which can help unclog pores and reduce acne.
Step 2: Tone
After cleansing, use a toner to help balance your skin’s pH and remove any leftover dirt or oil. Choose a toner with witch hazel or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) for extra oil-fighting power.
And so on………… like this, but follow below steps:
Time needed: 2 hours and 30 minutes
Now that you know what we’re looking for, let’s talk about how to craft a beauty guest post that will wow our editors and readers alike.
- Start with a Strong Idea
The first step is to come up with a topic that you’re excited about, and that will resonate with our audience. Think about what questions or problems you can help solve or what unique angle you can bring to a popular subject.
Example: Instead of writing a generic post about “10 Best Skincare Products,” you could focus on “How I Cleared My Acne with These 5 Natural Products, (only write if you used those products).
Tip: Use keyword research tools like Google Trends or SEMrush, Ahrefs or Google Keyword Planner, to see what beauty topics are currently trending and what questions people are searching for. - Craft a Compelling Introduction
By compelling introduction it never means to write lengthy superfluous words about the title but should hook the reader and make them want to continue reading. Start with an interesting fact, a question, story or real experience. - Engage with a Conversational Tone
Writing in a conversational tone makes your post more relatable and engaging. Use personal pronouns and address the reader directly.
Example: “You might be wondering how this product works. Well, let me share my experience.” - Include Helpful Headings
Your headings and the headline is the first thing that appears bold, so it needs to be relative + informative first then attention-grabbing and. Use strong, active language and try to convey the main benefit or take away of your post.
Tip: To make your headline more helpful, include numbers, questions, or realistic experiences. - Use Subheadings and Short Paragraphs
No one wants to read a wall of text, especially on a blog. Break up your post into easy-to-digest sections with clear subheadings and short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max). - Include Images and Examples
People love visuals, so try to include your original images so that people can feel what you are talking about. You can also use examples, anecdotes, or case studies to illustrate your points and make your writing more relatable.
And for examples you can use a bit of conversational tone as well. Example: “When I first started using this product, I was worried about the side effects it might have. But after doing some research and starting with a low concentration (0.025%), I was able to gradually build up my tolerance and see amazing results in just a few weeks. Here’s a before-and-after photo of my skin:” - End Only When Completed
Your post should come to an end only when the goal of the title is fully completed (what you claimed in the title is fully covered). Final Thoughts should tie together the main points of your post and leave the reader with a clear takeaway or learning. You can also include a call-to-action (CTA) to encourage comments, shares, or other engagement.
