The Following are 3 Steps On How to Write Content for a Website or Blog
Keep it Simple
The easiest way to write is to write as you would speak. Don’t try to sound like somebody else. Be yourself, and write your words down exactly as you would speak those words if you had somebody in the room with you.
You wouldn’t try to impress that person who is with you in the room by using flamboyant words, or words that they wouldn’t understand. You would speak to them in your usual manner, and that is what you need to do when writing for your website or blog.
Keep Paragraphs Short
Include just two or three sentences in each paragraph, depending on the length of the sentences. If you have two long sentences, then end the paragraph and start a new one.
Visitors to sites usually don’t enjoy reading through long blocks of text. By breaking the text into smaller paragraphs it makes it easier for the reader to get the sense of what has been written.
Also, small paragraphs provide for clear white spaces between them. This appeals to visitors as some can get turned off by the appearance of a lengthy page of text. It can be overwhelming and they just simply leave the site, never to return.
Spell Check Your Content Prior to Publishing
Grammar, or sentence structure, is very important as is correct spelling of each word.
I have heard people say not to worry too much about errors in spelling. I definitely do not agree with that.
When published, your website or blog is out there on the internet for the whole world to see. It is important to take pride in your grammar and spelling. You could be surprised at how many people do not appreciate poorly written content.
Your website or blog is a reflection of who you are, not only as a person but as a leader in your specialized field. Take the time and care to make your site the very best it can be.
If English is not your first language, or even if it is your first language but not your most loved subject, then I advise you to use a tool such as Grammarly.
The free version of Grammarly is a great Spell Checker. Grammarly sometimes offers the option of a wrong word. I tested it recently and it suggested that I replace ‘cooks’ with ‘books’. Now Grammarly was wrong in this instance. However, these days it is easy to download a Dictionary to your Mobile Phone, Tablet or iPad and check the meaning of any words that Grammarly suggests and you are not sure of.
No doubt, if English is your first language you would know the meanings of words you use. But for those whose first language is other than English, then I recommend using Grammarly.

This is really simple but yet perfect advice, I feel like most people try and over complicate things when it comes to blogging or posting content online, but as you explained if you just keep it nice and simple, and speak from the heart you will be much better off! Thanks for the advice!
