How about dreaming of seeing your name proudly displayed on the cover of a book? Well, achieving authorship is not just a dream anymore.
Writing your first blog post is an exciting opportunity to establish your online presence and start building your audience.
However, it's important to approach this task with a strategic mindset.
Instead of choosing a general and highly searched topic that's
been covered by major competitors or more established brands,
it's better to choose a topic that few bloggers have written about.
This will give your newly born blog a chance to rank well on
search engine results pages (SERPs).
When writing your first blog post, it's important to choose a highly specific topic
that serves a small segment of your target audience.
By doing this, you'll be more likely to rank well on SERPs and give your newly born blog a chance to grow.
You should choose a topic you're passionate and knowledgeable about,
avoid writing "how-to" articles and brainstorm different types of blog post ideas that align with your niche and audience.
When you have a topic for your blog post, it's important to check that the user's search intent would be fulfilled by that post.
To do this, you can use Google to search for the term and look at the results.
If other articles and blog posts rank for that term, you can proceed with your post.
However, if you only find product pages or listicles from major publications, then it's best to find a new topic to cover in your first post.
1-To start, choose a topic you're passionate and knowledgeable about.
The topic can be pretty general to start, for example, if you're a company that sells a CRM for small-to-enterprise businesses, your post might be about the importance of using a single software to keep your marketing, sales, and service teams aligned.
It's also a good idea to avoid writing a "how-to" article for your first blog post, as you haven't yet established your credibility as a leader in your field and authoritative source.Instead,consider writing other types of blog posts such as a
listicle
curated collection
SlideShare presentation or news piece.
If you're having trouble coming up with topic ideas, a good topic brainstorming session should help. You can iterate off old topics to come up with unique and compelling new topics
Examples:-
By changing the topic scope
Adjusting your time frame
Choosing a new audience
Taking a positive/negative approach, or introducing a new format

2. To find related or adjacent topics to your main topic, you can use tools such as
Answer the Public: This is a keyword research tool that helps users understand what questions and topics people are searching for online.
Google: Google is a search engine that allows users to find information and resources on the internet by typing in keywords or phrases.
By searching for the term and looking under "People also ask" and "People also search for," you can find questions and terms related to that topic, and touch upon those topics in your post.
3. To help you focus your writing, it's also important to come up with a working title.
A working title is specific and will guide your post so you can start writing.
The working title may not end up being the final title, but it provides enough information for you to focus your blog post on something more specific than a generic, overwhelming topic.
For example, if your topic is "blogging," your working title may be "The Process for Selecting a Blog Post Topic." And the final title could be "How to Choose a Solid Topic for Your Next Blog Post."
This evolution from topic to working title to final title helps you focus on a specific aspect of the topic and write a more effective post.
