Learning how to draft a writing process will benefit anyone who wants to write better. And faster. It’s a goal that many writers share. And it’s one well worth pursuing! You’re not alone in this pursuit — bloggers of all kinds are trying to do more in less time every day. But how can you write more intelligently and faster? For five tips, see this article.
It’s the start of a new month, and you have a fresh slate. You have nothing to do but watch Netflix and eat pizza all day. And then, out of the blue, you get an idea to create a piece of content on your blog. So what’s the best way to get started? How can you write your content without feeling like it’s wasting your time?
THE FIVE STEPS IN YOUR WRITING PROCESS
1. Know your audience
2. Know your goals
3. Research
4. Write
5. Revise(if necessary)
OUTLINE YOUR WRITING PROCESS
Now that you’ve read and understood how to write your content let’s look at the three roads that lead to the best content for your audience.
KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
The first step in the process is to know who you are writing for. To give yourself the best chance at having a piece of content write itself, you must know precisely who your audience is. Knowing where you are writing your content is crucial for impactful your content. The key here is targeting your audience correctly to avoid being flat-out ignored.
The best way to set your audience goals is to use Google Analytics. As I mentioned above, goal setting is essential for crafting your content, but it’s even more vital when targeting a specific audience specifically. Whenever you target demographic data, such as gender, location, or particular interests of your target audience, you’re not targeting specific people. You’re only targeting specific data points. Ultimately, all people are the same; however, you may have different goals depending on your audience.
BRAINSTORMING FOR IDEAS
Brainstorming is discovering the best idea for your blog content. I’ve been freelancing since 2008 and writing professionally since 2016. But until I stumbled upon Jaaxy, I barely knew what the heck I was doing. After I decided to commit myself to go full time, I got going and have created content for almost a year. It has taught me one huge thing: the internet has changed things.
The “How To” post isn’t a step-by-step tutorial but more of a framework. The setup is as follows:
Define your vertical: What audience do you want your content to target?
Decide on a list of targets: Define your targets, their reason for being on the internet, and the mediums they can consume your content. Your list could be as long as 100 names.
Brainstorm content – Mind your business – research and identify the pieces of content your audience is already using, similar but much better. I use a couple of tools to help me do these things all in one place. Jaaxy is the world’s most advanced research tool. Learn More==>
Some people will come up with more than one idea associated with their target audience – that’s awesome. Just keep that list in your back pocket, and next time you work on your website.
Brainstorm topics: Write down topics, subtopics, and keywords your audience might use related to your vertical. As I’m writing this, I’m writing down inspirations. Building your initial content passes – It’s time to get your creative wheels spinning.
Remember: there’s no set amount of words or types of content you need to create. It is a goal for your pyramid – so take it or leave it.

WRITING A ROUGH DRAFT OF YOUR BLOG POST
Now that you have a list of points you want to make, it’s time to write a rough draft. Your rough draft might be a simple outline if you’re writing an informational piece. If you’re writing a narrative or telling a story, your rough draft might be a stream of consciousness.
But then again, if you’re writing a viral piece, your rough draft might be pretty elaborate.
The instructions for this post are designed to help you draft your first draft; however, if you’ve researched text structure and grammar. If you’re familiar with like-minded individuals to bounce ideas with and have a ‘backup draft’ on hand, then feel free to adapt or use your edits. So here we go.
WHAT MAKES EXCELLENT CONTENT EASY TO WRITE
Well, the answer lies in this process and outline. You still need to take inspiration from your own writing experience. But you don’t have to do it exactly as you did when writing your original content. One of the most significant benefits of having a guide for your content writing is that you will reference your outline from time to time.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
By using prompts such as:
1. What is the title of this story?
2. What is the central theme of this story?
3. What is the crisis that your post aims to address?
4. What do you want the reader to take away from this story?
5. What is the conflict that your post is trying to resolve?
6. What is the best way to structure this story to convey the information?
EDITING AND REVIEWING YOUR ROUGH DRAFT
You’ll want to make sure you’re editing your rough draft in a place that’s free of distractions and interruptions. Make sure you’re editing and reviewing your work in a quiet spot that’s free of distractions and interruptions.
Pause every few sentences and ask yourself if your content is picking up on something in there that’s needed more in the final draft. With the writing process outlined in this post, you’ll be able to pick apart your thoughts plans and turn them into valuable and coherent content.

CONCLUSION,
So when I’m thinking through my process, I prefer to start by asking myself: “What is my goal with this piece of content?” It’s important to set yourselves up with a logical framework, so you can objectively go through and see how putting content together fits together with your goals.
Cheers,
