How To Write High Impact Blog Posts

What is a highly effective blogging framework?
Writing is not always easy! Especially when you have
to blog frequently!
You are in constant need for new ideas and
approaches, to make your message more cleared and
at the point.
For this reason, you need a blogging framework to
support you and help you develop effective blog
posts.

Writing For A
Blog –
My Blog
Philosophy
ACT NOW!
It is difficult to write at demand! I know because, one major part of my
personal & professional life revolves around writing. I write for me, for clients,
for projects, for books, etc.
Blogging is a demanding writing discipline. You need to have ideas, to search
for the right resources, to find new approaches, the simplify difficult concepts,
to make the material easily readable, to split is in meaningful chunks and to
provide some action items, readers can replicate or incorporate in their life!
For me, blogging is a medium for propagating VAM (Value Added Messages) or
Actionable/Motivational ideas to a broad audience.
Furthermore, blogging is mainly for the other people, not just for you!
BLOGGING
Blogging Framework - Takis Athanassiou
ACT NOW!
Blogging aims at many directions.
A good and effective blog can be at the same time a tool for:
• information,
• entertainment,
• education,
• training,
• skills development,
• propagation of new ideas and trends,
• dissemination of valuable methodologies, hacks, techniques, products &
services,
• cultivation of new habits and customs,
• finding new assets and resources,
• personal and professions development,
• development of communities,
• etc.
BLOGGING
Blogging Framework - Takis Athanassiou
ACT NOW!
For this reason, I would like my articles and post to be sort, easily scannable,
actionable and, in general, useful to my readers.
My intention is to provide material that would give a lot of values added to
every one of my readers.
This is the reason, I try to use a more structured approach in blogging.
Basically I need a highly effective blogging framework, to support my goals and
intentions.

A Highly
Effective
Blogging
Framework
ACT NOW!
To blogging effectively, takes some time, discipline and, always, needs some
structured approach to help you get your message across!
Some of the most notable and effective bloggers today (as Michael
Hyatt, Chris Brogan, Seth Godin, Jeff Goins, and others), use templates and
recipes to make their job more easily.
I’m a big fan of templates and I use them both in my personal and my
professional life.
My approach in using a structured way of blogging, is based on the techniques
used by the aforementioned bloggers, on my personal preferences, on my
tools and on my experience as far as what an effective post is.
BLOGGING
Blogging Framework - Takis Athanassiou
ACT NOW!
My approach is structuring an effective article composed of the following
elements:
• A Catchy Title or Headline who pinpoints your content and discern it from
other posts.
• A Strong introduction paragraph, giving the main information of the post to
the readers. Sometimes it might state a problem or a situation and might
give emphasis on personal experiences.
• A Relevant Image to the content of your article.
• One (or more) supporting points/arguments/logic of the information
provided. Each point should be separated and treated per se. In this context
for each argument it might be given a resource, an action item, a reference,
etc. (anything that might help reader to deduce the underlying model and help
him/her reproduce it in his life!). For better readability, bulleted or numbered
items may be used to offer structure and make the text more “actionable“.
• A Call To Action, or one (or more) Questions, inviting the reader to do
something for his/her own benefit with the material provided in the article.
BLOGGING

ACT NOW!
Of course there are other components that might be
useful and provide value in an effective blog post (as
tweetable sentences, draws and diagrams, etc.), but in
my opinion, the above 5 components, are the most
effective in blogging practice!
