Hello everyone, Have a nice day !
As you know, Steemit is also a blog, and we are the developers of our blog. Whether your blog is growing fast or slow depends on the articles you post daily, of course the more interesting posts will be more meaningful with the blog will grow faster, it is. the most basic element. Then, the problem is "our article", the quality articles will be appreciated and vice versa.
I will go straight to the problem. We are discussing the topic: "Quality Posts" and I want to share with you a little personal experience of mine.
📌 We should first find out what "quality articles are?"
Simply put: your article is quality if the reader feels satisfied with it, they feel they have not wasted time to read this article anh they feel our content is trustworthy then that is the quality article. Your articles must deliver real value to the reader and publisher. Never write an article just for your own purposes, such a selfish article will be immediately ignored by publishers and readers. Most people know you want to get something when you share your knowledge and they are happy to reciprocate your share. It's just that. For example, you write articles about jokes, you have to make the reader feel funny. You write about life, you have to make the reader feel the meaning of the article, or maybe you write about the topic Technology, you have to learn and give information accurate to the reader. Here are a few general examples, I will clarify later.
📌 Ways to write a quality article.
As I think, in order to have a really good post, there should be three elements:
- Subject
- Content
- Presentation
✒️ Subject
For a good article, the subject must first attract the reader.
- You need to know the strengths of yourself, the host you choose must match your ability to know, You can not write a joke when you have no humor. You can not write a blockchain if you do not understand it.
- Choose the topic most people are interested in: If your post is a HOT topic, it will definitely reach the reader quickly. You can search for topics on google, fb or other information channels.
- Make sure you have enough knowledge about your topic: Passion is one thing but not knowing or knowing much about it is also very difficult for you to answer the reader's questions. You should seriously consider this.
Choosing the right topic is extremely important. But that theme has followed you to the end or not to rely on your passion for it. Whether you are passionate or not passionate, long-term development or only for a while, you must also bring useful information to the reader.
✒️ Content

Speaking of content, I recommend you to outline your article, this method we have been studying very well since high school students. In doing so, our article will be more logical and rigorous.
I have a few suggestions for you to choose the content of the article.
- Simple and concise: For effective writing, I think we need to use simple language, avoid jargon, and write as concise as possible, avoiding rampant, unnecessary words. Unless you need long articles to entice readers to stay, or you are a writer ... Often, our psychology, no one wants to read long articles, so the shorter the better .
- Create highlights for the article: In a good context, if you do not have a strong point, it is useless. Even if you have a clear explanation of your topic, do not forget to create an emphasis on the article. Readers will be impressed with the articles with that emphasis.
- Learn about the target audience: You write an article about Blockchain technology but the reader of your article is not passionate about technology, surely he will not view it. So choose the content that best suits your target audience.
- If an existing content is an content that must be you, must be do you find understand, absolute cannot be copied of another user. You will be marked the rating if you read the current you copied the content. Note this
- Post layout article: Every article should have basic layout, in accordance with the following three parts: Introduction to the article, Body article, End of article
✒️ Presentation

You have to make the reader impress with your article even though they have not read the content of the article. Maybe your content is not full, or not very well, but if you layout pictures, fonts, font size reasonable,.. your article is still appreciated.
- Presents Clean & Clear content: Keep in mind: "Users do not read, they just browse your page" so you should make the text easier to read that will attract and keep readers' attention, you should clearly distribute the categories in I know my job and arrange the most reasonable.
- Use short paragraphs: The reader is very impatient to read long texts, so to avoid frustration and to help the reader lose energy when reading, each paragraph should be 3-4. should not exceed 5 lines. There should be an idea for each paragraph, ensure each paragraph is at most 3-4 sentences.
- Using images and multimedia content: Expressing and transmitting content in a variety of ways makes it easy for readers to capture information, which is also a way of delivering content to the reader effectively. boring. (Note: You should annotate for each of your photos, that's one of the rules of TeamVN.)
- Put important information at the beginning of sentences and paragraphs: You can see that I highlight the first few sentences, which is the overarching information of the paragraph, the reader will understand the general content of the paragraph through the first sentence.
Here is my personal opinion of a quality article and how to create a quality article. I write this article for newcomers to Steemit, they are certainly confused and do not have much experience. In order to develop this solid foundation, we need a solid step in the first place. I hope you will take the time to find out before you intend to do something, write the same. If you find this article useful, share it with the newcomer. Thank you!
