Writing a blog post isn't always the easiest of tasks, and sometimes when you really push yourself, you find that the quality of work can suffer. When you sit down to write a blog, sometimes it's best to keep in mind that there are certain guidelines you should follow if you want to come up with some truly great quality content.

However, we know that when you are juggling not only blog writing, but social media, and other marketing responsibilities, you can't help but go faster than you should when publishing your content. And, sometimes that can lead to you forgetting to keep in mind your blogging best practices.

If you don't have a set guideline to create quality content in each of your blog posts, or you are looking to refresh your content in the new year, creating a new blog post guideline foundation may be the key to your success. Some key elements you should always keep in mind are:

• Create an attention grabbing headline.

• Use an engaging tone throughout your written work.

• Back up your information with facts and statistics.

• Incorporate images.

• Be genuine.
