If you’re like many small business owners, you were the only employee who clocked in on opening day! Startup entrepreneurs often have to handle every aspect of running a business on their own.

How to Structure Your Blog Posts with Subheadings

The post How to Structure Your Blog Posts with Subheadings appeared first on ProBlogger. This post is based on episode 132 of the ProBlogger podcast.

They might be a different colour, in a larger font, or even in a completely different font. Good for the reader Now not every post needs subheadings. For

How to Edit Your Blog Posts in 7 Simple Steps

The post How to Edit Your Blog Posts in 7 Simple Steps appeared first on ProBlogger. This post is based on episode 168 of the ProBlogger podcast. We often talk about being a great writer. But most great writers are also great editors, because chances are their first drafts were far from perfect. So here’s how to be a great editor of your own work and have people think you’re a great writer, too. Step 1. Plan what you’re going to write Okay, so this isn’t technically part of the editing process. But planning what you’re going to talk about before you start writing will make the editing process a lot easier. It’s far easier to set up a good structure at the beginning than to rearrange entire
