So how can we write a blog post in 30 minutes?
1. List points and concepts
When you have an idea, scribble onto a notebook, pronto. Don't delay doing this. You have to capture the moment right when the idea hits you; that way, you won't lose any of your good ideas. When you're ready, pick one topic and write. Convenient, right? Efficient, too.
2. Open your first paragraph based on points you've saved
This is the best way to introduce your topic. By doing this, your audience will be properly guided on what you will tackle in the particular post they are reading. Most bloggers who are considered authorities in the blogosphere all agree on this specific principle: The way you introduce your post has a heavy bearing on the overall impact of your blog post. So do it with utmost care.
3. Write Using Key Points
Bullet points make your writing easy to organize. I'll let you in a little revelation; Carol Tice, one of the most respected bloggers today admitted that she prefers reading blog posts formatted with bullet points. And the reason why? She likes scanning through the post. ;) It helps her to read in an easier manner. If seasoned bloggers like her fancy doing this, how much more ordinary readers who, like you, always have to skim through articles because they want to move on to other tasks.
Whether you love bullet points or loathe them, they keep people reading your content like nothing…

4. Pre-edit Before You Start (What's that?)
You have loads of ideas; I don't know about you, but that's fast becoming the standard scene in my work area. If that's the same in yours, be brutal. Edit out all ideas that don't fit the main topic. Remember, we're talking about how to craft a post in 30 minutes, not a comprehensive report.
5. Keep It Short (That's how to do it, baby!)
If you want to complete an article in 30 minutes, keep it under 600 words. Don't skimp on quality, though, and aim to be informative even with a short post. If it's at all possible, pack everything in a small package. Need I say more?
6. Knock It Out Fast And Return Later
Here's my strategy. (And you can emulate it if it fits your style)—Just bleed pen to paper. In case, you're stuck, don't force the words. Save your piece and focus on other tasks. When you're ready, go back to the blog post.
Be guided accordingly. Follow these steps and you'll be on your way to becoming a blitzkrieg blog post writer; ready to produce posts to spice up your blog or other people's blogs.
