About Tim Erway The guy behind some of the biggest online success stories… Over the last decade, Tim Erway has coached and empowered dozens of 6-, 7-, and 8-figure entrepreneurs. But success didn't come easily for Tim. After 2-years of "working the plan," Tim found himself eye-deep in debt and close to being homeless when he was evicted from his 1-bedroom apartment. On a loan and a prayer, Tim dedicated himself to becoming a student of Internet marketing, and just 6 months later he bounced back making his first 6-figures in affiliate and network marketing. In 2003, he launched his first 7-figure online education company dedicated to providing debt-laden consumers with the tools and information needed to eliminate debt from their lives. By 2004, Tim's company helped thousands of people avoid bankruptcy, regain control of their finances and get a fresh start. All the while, he was earning a healthy 6-figure income selling his own products, affiliate products and with network marketing. Today Tim is CEO of Elite Marketing Pro. He also owns a successful real estate investment company that he launched using “attraction marketing” methods – proving yet again that the universal principles of attraction marketing work across multiple industries, both online and offline.

Five Major Reasons to Start Blogging TODAY…

1. Blogs are easy to set up, simple to maintain, and are

the easiest way to create an online presence,

publish your own content, and brand yourself.

2. Your blog will generate free traffic from search

engines, social marketing websites, and even other

blogs. Blogging is really the easiest way to generate

leads and traffic for your business – fast! – without

spending a ton of money.

3. Google and the other search engines absolutely

LOVE blogs.

4. Blogs are more “credible” than sales letters,

advertisements, brochures, corporate websites, or

other types of traditional marketing. Therefore, your

site visitors will be less likely to have their “guard up”

while reading your blog – as long as you provide real,

valuable content.

5. Blogging allows you to build your own

community of loyal readers and contributors.

When you publish content, visitors can comment on

your posts and add their thoughts and feedback. This

adds a conversation, a “social dynamic,” to your

marketing.

Now that we clearly understand the importance and

benefits of blogging, let’s talk about the specifics…

How to Write a Perfect Blog Post: The 10 Blogging Secrets

of the Pros…

Secret #1: Get clear about the purpose or goal

for your post.

What do you want the reader to know? And what do you

want the reader to do? Click a link? Opt-in? Buy a

product? Become an affiliate? Share with their friends?

Secret #2: Get a clear picture of the one person

who will be reading your post.

Male or Female? How old? Married or single? What’s

their personality like? Where do they work? What kind of

job? What’s their current income like? What do they

want? What are they afraid of? What “keeps them up at

night?” The clearer this person is in your mind, the easier

it will be to “talk” to this person and connect with them in

writing. Talk they way they talk. And talk about what’s

important to them. Don’t skip this step, it’s deceptively

important!

Secret #3: Start with just ONE topic or “big

idea” for your post.

Your goal is to explore the idea in an entertaining and

informative way, and you only have about 500 words, so

stay on topic! Make sure you grab their attention at the

start with curiousity. This will keep them hooked for the

“meat” that’s to come. First impressions count, so dive

right in!

Secret #4: Write a targeted, compelling

headline.

Do this first. And make sure it speaks directly to your ideal

reader and expresses a benefit – either entertain them

with a story or provide them with useful, actionable

information (or both!). After all, your post should be about

your readers, not you.

Secret #5: Jot down 3-5

important points.

Make an outline. Keep your

flow of ideas organized. Feel

free to expiriement with lists,

tips, reviews, comparisons,

FAQs, cheat sheets,

surveys, tutorials, case

studies, news,

recommended resources, interviews, even multimedia –

memes, podcasts, and embedded videos. Just make sure

you stay focused!

Secret #6: Use an example or story to make

your idea come alive.

The example or story can come from your own

experience, from someone you know, or something

you’ve read. It can come from the daily news, current

movies, or forum discussions. Stories captivate and suck

your readers into your content.

Secret #7: Write a clear, strong call to action at

the end of the post.

Don’t wimp out here. Want them to “click here?” Then tell

them, “Click here for more…” Want them to leave their

comment, opinion, or idea? Then tell them or ask them,

Page 9: The Anatomy of a Perfect Blog Post - Elite Marketing Proelitemarketingpro.com/go/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/... · 2014-08-26 · The Anatomy of a Perfect Blog Post… 10 powerful

“What do you think? Tell me your opinion or share your

comment below.” Your prospects are not going to do

anything unless you ask! So be perfectly clear what

they should do next!

Secret #8: Make your post “easy on the eye.”

Use plenty of white space, related images, subheadlines,

bullet points, or lists. Conventional wisdom says that

Internet readers scan for information…so make your post

“scannable” so your key points stand out.

Secret #9: Say something about yourself (at

the end).

Include an “about the author” in a short, one- or two-

sentence paragraph. And don’t forget to include links to

your Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites. If your

readers enjoyed your post, they’ll want to find out how

else they can get in touch!

Secret #10: Proofread!

Before you hit “publish,” take a look at how your post will

appear when it goes live. Double check for spelling,

hyperlinks, spacing, and “eye-friendliness.” Nothing turns

off a savvy prospect more than sloppy, unprofessional

work.

Next let’s brainstorm a few ideas for what to write…

How to Brainstorm Hot Post

chapters in your

favorite book on the

subject you are writing

about?

forums and other blogs in your industry?

received that others might have?
