1. Target reader group
Always target the reader group; also known as a persona.
For example, this specific article is targeting people who want to know how to write better blog posts.
Knowing the persona of the article or the entire blog website is very important to provide the information that the reader really wants to know.

2. Focus on User-oriented content
User-oriented content is very important.
The reader who comes to your blog article and is looking for specific information.
If you cannot meet the criteria that the user is expecting, the reader will not think that your blog post was not valuable enough to them.
The reason why your blog site grows is that The readers think your blog site is valuable and useful to them by finding the answer that they were looking for.
Never forget your blog post is read by somebody. It’s not your diary.
3. Make it informative
Again, making blog posts informative is essential.
If you want to monetize your blog website, you will not write what you want to write but what readers want to read.
Readers are always looking for a specific and simple answer so if you cannot propose a concrete solution in your blog post, it is very unlikely that your blog website will grow.
If you want to write what you want to write, you can go to a stationery shop and buy a diary.
4. Make it informative
Never ever write your diary on your blog if you want to monetize your blog.
Your mission is to write informative information on your blog, and the category of your entire blog is very much important as well as each blog post.
For example, the category of my blog is coffee, travelling, and minimalism.
If you look up the right top bar, it will show you some subcategories.
The only reason that I have chosen the category coffee, travelling, and minimalism is because those are the theme that I can write informative posts on; I have owned the coffee business before, I have been to many countries, and I am a true minimalist.
Stick to your profession or passion
5. Always research SEO keywords
To know what people want to know on the Internet, researching SEO keywords Will be very beneficial.
There are some free tools that you can use to know the combination of keywords the readers are specifically looking for, so never forget to plan your blog post strategy starting with keywords.
Wordstream is something you can use for free to search for SEO keywords.

6. Rewrite posts if needed
Rewriting is sometimes very useful.
The actual page view does not reach your expectation means your blog post is missing something; it may be the volume of the content, it may be the wrong keyword-content combination, or it may not be easy to read the post.
What's amazing about blogging is that you can fix posts at any time.
If you think you will need to rewrite your published posts, never hesitate to upgrade the content.
7. Use a bulleted list
The bulleted list and the bulleted number list are so useful to sharpen the readability.
When you write an introduction, you can use a bulleted list like
- Body 1
- Body 2
- Body 3
This looks sharp and well-organized isn't it?
The bulleted list will make the visibility clearer than you imagine.
8. Create vertical space between lines
Creating vertical spaces between the lines is very important for readability.
For example, if your blog post is filled with no vertical spaces like this paragraph, it is very difficult to read because when people read the articles, the brain needs to know where is the end of the sentence. If you do not consciously pay attention to the vertical spaces between the lines, this paragraph is exactly how your blog posts look like. I have done many consultations on many websites and this is the most dangerous mistake that most of the websites are doing.
Always create vertical spaces between the lines.
9. Check grammar
Even if you are a native English speaker, always check the grammar mistakes when you write professional blog posts.
I am Japanese and since English is not my native language, service like Grammarly is very helpful to me.
Unless you have a degree in English grammar or English literature, always use Grammarly.

9. Write something you are professional about
If you want to monetize your blog, the contents you publish have to be something very informative.
When you start a blog website for monetization purposes, you have to choose the category in which you are very confident and ideally professional.
As mentioned earlier, all of the categories that I post in this blog article are related to my profession and strong passion.
Before starting a blog website, always consider the professional level of your blog site.
Which do you think is more valuable and attractive a blog website,
the medical journal, or your diary?
10. Ask your mom if she understood or not
If your mom or dad cannot understand what you’re writing in your post, then many of the readers will not understand what you’re writing.
The important point of a professional blog post is not to make the content difficult.
You may be writing difficult content, but you always want to make the readers understand the content easily even though the content itself is difficult.
Always use simple and easy phrases.
You are writing a blog post, not an academic thesis.
