You’ve decided on a blog post type and title, learned how to write a blog post, and now you’re ready to start writing.
When you’re confronted with that blank page, it can be daunting to know where to start.
That’s where an outline comes in handy.
Once you have your outline, you can simply fill in the blanks.
Creating the Outline
An outline is where the structure of your blog post actually begins to come together.
While you’re not technically writing at this point, you’re listing out the information, points, and sections that you want to cover in your blog post.
Drafting a solid outline is key to creating blog content that ranks on the first page of Google.
Plan to spend plenty of time creating your outline.
For example, when drafting this article, I spent three hours drafting my outline.
One of the most valuable tools within Frase.io is its outline builder.
Using the headers that your competitors use in their content, you can interactively build an outline for your blog post.
