Indeed, the first ten to fifteen minutes of writing an interesting start to a blog post is hard work I think for every writer. Sometimes the ideas for a good start of the post just happen – but that is rare.

I like to think about the readers and what they need, what would help them. And then I try to see the reader as a person I know and I write to them. When a reader becomes the focus of my writing it is much easier to decide which points to leave in, and which to leave out. And my writing moves much faster too. Thinking of the audience and what their needs are also brings a very active voice to your writing too.

Second I believe in outlining posts and articles. It helps to break it up, makes it less intimidating to write. You can write in short bursts by subsection as you have time.

Third, get a ton of research on the area you are writing about and share it all with the reader.

Those are the three ideas I usually go by. I wish you all the best, writing is great fun and serving readers with information is really interesting too. You get to learn a lot back from them as well.

Good luck,
