DESCRIPTION
As a prolific blogger, it’s not uncommon to be asked for the secret formula to writing successful blog posts. There’s no true secret formula, but there is a very simple structure that has worked well over the last five years. It’s definitely a keep it simple stupid approach, but getting anymore granular could stifle creativity, slow down production and potentially act as a road block for employees to contribute content. By keeping it simple, marketing departments have a much better chance at converting employee contributors into authoritative web authors over time, in order to power ongoing content marketing campaigns and build communities. In less than three months, the simplicity of the below blog post structure has helped quadruple the number of blog contributors here in the Slingshot labs.
