Step 1 — Topic Selection
Before writing anything, ensure you are solving the right problem.
Content performance is largely determined before the draft begins.
Here you will be introduced to the topic bank which you can select from. There is also quick explanations of what makes a good blog topic and title, that way if you have an idea of your own that’s not in the topic bank you can verify if it’s worth pursuing.

Step 2 — Writing the Blog Post
Once the topic is validated, move into structured writing.
Strong blogs are not written randomly. They follow predictable patterns that improve:
• Click-through rates
• Readability
• Engagement
• Skimmability
