How to write blog posts as a beginner.
If you are completely new to writing, the first thing you should do is practice. That is the only way you can start. Writing is not magic that comes in one night. Neither does it come as you start blogging.
You can write about anything. You don't need to worry about the topic as you are a beginner. Write what you like or write about what you normally do. For example, if you regularly visit a park, then you can write about grass, trees, flowers, and so on.
As a beginner, you won't be able to write 500 to 1000 words. It takes time, a lot of time, to get used to writing long content. At first, you might just be able to write 100 words or maybe just 50 words. But that's alright, you don't need to worry about it.
I started the same way. When I started, I just used to write a few sentences about the topic. But now, as I write, my brain keeps sending me what to write next. I am still improving.
The most important thing is to be cautious when you follow the YouTube video advice. They just teach you lots of rules and useless things that you won't need as a beginner. If you try to follow all the rules a YouTuber gives, then you will be overwhelmed. I have watched those videos, and to date, I still don't understand what they are teaching.
For example, those YouTube videos might say, write down the points you want to write. What I suggested for a beginner is simple: Just write what you can. Your job is just to jump into writing. As you get experience, you could add points and so on.
A beginner should start to write straight away; they don't need to learn a whole bunch of rules for now. You try to write blogs, not a novel, or a book, and so on. Your job is to keep writing regardless of the number of posts, since you are a beginner at blogging.
Practical steps to write a blog post.
Does posting a number matter?
As in the title, I have mentioned “How to write your first 5 blog posts as a beginner”. But the question is does post count matter? The simple answer is “YES”. It’s not about five posts, but you don't stop at just 5 posts.
What I suggest is, don’t look at post count at all. The first 5 or first 10 doesn't mean anything to me. When you count the number, that means you have something in mind. It could be to rank your post, or make money, and so on.
When you have expectations, and you don’t get the result you want, you get disappointed. That leads you to quit what you are doing.
What should you do after learning?
Learning takes time, but most importantly, it is not just learning once, and you don't need to do anything. Writing is dynamic, which means you have to keep learning even after you are able to write well.
Conclusion
Writing is more important than post count. If you keep practising writing and improve day by day, then your post count will automatically increase. If you put pressure on the number of posts, then it will stop you from writing.
