(6/30) 30 Days to Becoming a Website Content Pro: From Beginner to Expert

Standard Article Structure for Beginners | Website Content Pro | Fito Thịnh

Welcome back to Day 6 of your journey to becoming a website content pro!

In the last post, you learned how to write a compelling introduction that hooks readers from the first line. Today, you’ll take that skill a step further—by learning how to structure your article like a pro.

Just like a good house needs a solid frame, a great blog post needs a logical, well-organized structure. Whether you’re writing a how-to guide, listicle, or opinion piece, following a standard article structure helps your readers stay engaged and makes your content easier to read, scan, and remember.

If you’ve ever wondered how top bloggers create posts that feel effortless to follow, here’s your answer: they know how to build a blog that flows. Let’s check it out with Fito about this topic!

The Power of Standard Article Structure

In his book Content Chemistry, Andy Crestodina explains that readers don’t consume online content linearly—they skim and scan. That means formatting, structure, and layout matter just as much as the words you choose.

Likewise, HubSpot’s The Perfect Blog Post Structure highlights that a clear and predictable format:

• Improves readability and time on page
• Helps search engines understand your content
• Makes your writing look more professional

So let’s dive into the four key parts of a standard blog post structure.

Title – The Headline That Pulls People In

Your title is your first impression. It tells the reader (and Google) what your post is about. For students becoming a website content pro, mastering headlines is essential.

✅ Best practices:

• Use your primary keyword naturally
• Keep it under 60 characters for SEO
• Focus on benefits, not just topics (e.g., “How to Write Blog Posts That Actually Get Read”)

💡 Pro tip: Use tools like CoSchedule’s Headline Analyzer to test emotional appeal and clarity.

Introduction – The Hook That Sets the Tone

We covered this in detail in Day 5, but to recap:

Your introduction should:

• Present a relatable problem
• Spark curiosity
• Tease what’s coming next (but don’t give everything away)

Avoid generic openings like “In today’s world…” and instead connect directly to your reader’s needs.

Body – The Core of the Message

Here’s where the bulk of your content lives. This is where you build a blog that flows using:

• Clear H2 subheadings for major points
• H3 subheadings to break down complex ideas
• Bullet points and numbered lists to increase scannability
• Internal links to related content

🧱 A strong body typically follows this format:

• H2: Main Idea #1
  • Brief explanation
  • Supporting examples
  • Link to relevant post if available (e.g., Day 4: Pick Your First Blog Topic)
• H2: Main Idea #2
  • Explain how this point supports the main topic
  • Use bullet points or tips
  • Include stats or expert quotes if relevant
• H2: Main Idea #3
  • Address objections or common challenges
  • Offer solutions or additional resources

Visual spacing (short paragraphs, whitespace) is just as important as content quality. Make your post easy on the eyes.

Conclusion – Wrap It Up with Purpose

A great conclusion does three things:

• Summarizes key takeaways
• Reinforces the article’s value
• Guides the reader to take action (your CTA)

✨ Example CTA:

“Now that you know how to structure your blog like a pro, why not try it? Pick a topic, draft your post, and apply this format. Then revisit it tomorrow with fresh eyes.”

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even skilled writers slip up sometimes. Watch out for:

• ❌ Walls of text with no subheadings
• ❌ Overstuffed keywords (Google notices!)
• ❌ Missing conclusions that leave readers hanging
• ❌ Clickbait titles that don’t match the content

Following a standard article structure helps you avoid these pitfalls while improving your credibility as a content creator.

Practical Exercise for Day 6

Write a short blog post (500–700 words) using the following structure:

• Title (clear and benefit-focused)
• Introduction (identify a problem and tease the solution)
• Body (2–3 H2 sections + bullet points)
• Conclusion (summarize + CTA)

Choose any topic from your niche—or revisit your Day 4 topic and apply what you’ve learned today.

Now you understand that blog posts aren’t just written—they’re designed. Using a standard article structure makes your writing more effective, more professional, and more enjoyable to read. As you continue on your journey to becoming a website content pro, keep this truth in mind: clear structure builds reader trust. And trust is what keeps them coming back.
