How I Write SEO Optimised Blog Posts

Today, I wanted to walk you through how I write SEO optimised blog posts for my website, Medium, GitHub and now Facebook!

Luckily I only have to write each article once and then each platform requires just a bit of customisation.

Before we start, I’ve also written this article on Facebook, GitHub and my own website.

Introduction

Okay, so it’s important to start from a good foundation. No one builds a sky scraper from the top-down!

I go through an 8 step process which goes a little something like this:

1. Brainstorm Ideas
2. Research Keywords
3. Complete Research or Test Systems
4. Write Article Spine
5. Write Article Content
6. Create or Grab Appropriate Images
7. Add External Links (E.G. iPhone, Apple, Microsoft)
8. Post + Cross Links
9. Relax!

I’ll cover each one of these steps in this article so that you too can write SEO focused posts to gain organic traffic for the topics you want.

Brainstorm Ideas

This step can easily be the hardest or easiest. It’s deceptive!
