This document outlines a 5-step checklist for writing successful business blogs. The steps are to: 1) identify your target audience and their key values, 2) choose a single value and 1-2 attributes important to that audience, 3) further define your specific target audience, 4) identify a trigger that motivates your audience to read your blog, and 5) structure your blog post with an engaging title and subheaders that follow the AIDA model and consider keywords, clarity and calls to action. The goal is to craft blog posts that appeal to and benefit your intended readers.
