What will you learn?

The writing blog posts that rank course is broken down into 4 phases:

  • Research Phase: In this phase, you will learn how to conduct research about an idea or topic that you may want to write about, and the process and tools to use when conducting this research.
  • Writing Phase: This is where your draft article comes to life by bringing your ideas and research together through sentences and paragraphs. You will learn how to create the article outline and expand your outline topics, from the introduction paragraph, through the body of the article, to the ending paragraph.
  • Editing Phase: Editing is going through your writing to ensure that there are no grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors or unusual phrasing. In this phase, you will learn how to check for these errors and correct them. You will also learn how to create feature and inline images for your article, as well as other checks and measures that ensure your article is polished and ready for publishing.
  • Publishing Phase: Your article is ready to be published at this point. Besides accomplishing this milestone, you will learn how to set a date for publishing as well as ensure that your completed article is shareable on social media.
