1. Place a long tailed keyword 
Keywords are what get you found online. It is important that you know what your keywords are. And these days, your keywords have to be more specific. The competition is too high. If you don't know what your keywords are, you'd better find out.

2. Make your title Catchy 
 How many times have you heard this? (I've heard it close to 1000 times.) It's old and boring but even today, it remains true. You have to write a title that will grab your reader's attention. Blog readers scan for what catches their eye. You have to have titles that are captivating; something that will make your reader's eyes get large because they're so eager to "dive into"  your blog post. Can you write something that would create an addiction? If so, you have a catchy title. On a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being the most catchy, what would you rate the title of this article?

3. Limit your title to 40 text characters. 
It keeps things simple and to the point, but more importantly, the whole title will show up in the search engine results pages.

4. Review your title and Does this fill a specific need 
People search to get their needs met. What need is your article title fulfilling? At this point, I hope you're understanding how utterly important blog post titles are!

5. Organize the body of the post into three parts.
              Part 1- Introduce the need mentioned in your title. Be clear 
                          and concise. If you have a story related to the topic, share it.
              Part 2- Exploit the major issues involved with the specific 
                          need of the topic.
              Part 3- The resolution. Provide the answer or solution. Add 
                          details. Answer the reader's questions for them.

6. Create subheadings typed in bold text 
Just like I have done for this article.

7. Include your reader in the discussion. 
Write your post as if you're writing directly to a very interested friend.

8. Bold and/or link keywords.  
Share the link love and highlight your most important points by bolding the text.

9. Keep your post to a 300 word limit. 
Blog posts are meant to be short and sweet. Stop sugar coating by being redundant.

10. Summarize the main points in three sentences. 
Make sure your reader didn't miss your main points. Add your keyword in the summary. 

11. Include your call to action 
A reader is 100% more likely to do what you tell them to do if you actually tell them to do something!

12. Match the tags to the keywords your article is about
Sometimes they are called categories. Sometimes Tags. It doesn't matter, just put your keywords here.

13. Promote the heck out of the new blog post. 
Submit your RSS feed  to the blogoshphere. This incredible list of where to submit your RSS feed will help your new blog post get optimized. As noted in the introduction, use this article as a resource to help you write SEO optimized blog posts.
