[@ErinCollins2]

I haven't found many people who break down the basics like this, and as someone who is switching careers with zero experience, this content is exactly what I need. I just got hired for my first paid blog post, and this is great for wrangling all the ideas swimming in my head.

[@ZulieWrites]

Perfect and congrats! Really glad this video was useful :)

[@lizzyuche6781]

Hey Erin Collins, am a new writer Please I really want to discuss somethings with you🙏

[@FrancoisFerreiraDEV]

Published my first blog last week, and followed the proposed structured, and it worked so well. Love the idea of breaking things up in a laying it out in a logical order, then keep on refining until reaching a well formed blog. Thanks Zulie!

[@ahmar-shah]

Thank you for this, and I strongly agree with what Tom Kuegler said when he introduced you at the start of a recent interview with you. Out of all people who write about Medium, you offer the most value and it feels like you are giving your 100%! Thank you :)

[@ZulieWrites]

Thanks for sharing! Ahmar! I really appreciate that.

[@SiddharthSrivastava121]

I really like it when people like to share how much they have learned in their life.

[@ghembrain]

"Writing is hard, you're taking a bunch of grey matter in your brain, pushing it through your fingers and trying to tickle someone else's soul with your words." Damn, gurl! I need to talk like you, deliver my speech like you.

[@louisronsonronald488]

Love how you explained this! Such a simple approach to take! My 15 minutes well spent watching this thank you!

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@HealthySprouts]

You just covered a whole course in 14 mins. I've been looking for this for some time now. Thank you!

[@ZulieWrites]

So glad it was helpful!

[@Corrans]

I think I have just become your newest fan. You are so sweet, clear, consice and easy to understand. You NAILED it. I am actually going to use this exact structure in my next articles...as a beginner writer I definitely battle to put my thoughts into a "container". I know my writing is too rambling. This is so helpful. You rock!

[@ZulieWrites]

So glad it helped, thank you so much!

[@tinapchelka2840]

Very informative. You broke it down step by step. Very easy to understand. Thank you so much

[@BriahHoyt]

Thank you so much for this well organized and easy to follow video 🙌 I was SOOOOOOO discouraged yesterday, I had a really hard day, and finding this video brought my spirits back up 🙏 Thank you so much

[@ZulieWrites]

So happy to hear that! You got this!

[@marizamentzou3293]

This is gold Zulie. I'm going to write using this and report back to you, Thanks so much for all that you're sharing.

[@marizamentzou3293]

And voila! it took me 2 weeks - tomorrow I'm getting published by one of the pubs that I was hoping for!! thanks to your insightful tips :))) so grateful for all that you share.

[@am-fv3ho]

Zulie! This is gold. I appreciate the time you put on every second making these videos.

[@twotaletv]

I'm watching from Nigeria and I want to start writing blogs have been watching different videos this is the first I had to comment on because this is so satisfying and easy to understand I have to say thank you for this 😫🤗

[@anand10ful]

Loved watching this value packed lesson and got to learn so many valuable pointers from it. Thank you so much Zulie. You always win my heart.

[@egaildr]

This video deserves more views! Super informative and easy to apply. It brought me clarity and peace. Now I know what to do to organize my piece and create a well structured article without losing my readers' attention and be more connected to them. Thanks Zulie!

[@digital_ad_analytics]

Thanks youtube for suggesting this video

[@supreetkumar7604]

I was pitching to a blog and they said to send a draft. This video answered me how to do that. Thank you.

[@ZulieWrites]

Happy to help!

[@TonyThomas10000]

Very cool idea. I usually work off of bullet points. I remember when I wrote an article for a major magazine years ago. The editor did not like the direction and just responded with a bunch of questions that he wanted answered in the article. So, using the Socratic method and just asking a bunch of questions about the subject you are writing on is another great way to find a structure.

[@bryan_BJTG]

This is one of the most detailed explanations on how to structure a blog post. Keep making content like this, you are amazing. 🤩

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching!

[@vandersteentim]

What a great soul you have. Thanks again!

[@ghembrain]

Hi Zulie, I just discovered you, literally typed in . So far I'm hooked. I could not even watch to the end and I jumped to tell you that I think your delivery is amazing. The intro is me 98% of the time. I struggle writing for Real Estate, namely project descriptions and neighborhoods. Would you please share some tips, I'm bleeding and need help. Thank you.

[@ZulieWrites]

Wow, so glad to hear that! You can browse through my other videos to find much more tips and tricks on writing.

[@elizachan6114]

Excellent job! It helps me a lot to guide my students to write a blog entry.

[@heavyhacks6598]

Finally found something on KZbin that is. actually helpful as well as practical.

[@funmioh]

This definitely helped me get over that hump. Thank you.

[@axeltrujillo5693]

Thanks for being so clear and insightful 😊

[@digitalrahul6877]

It is one of the best tutorial I found on writing and instructing an article and I loved how you have simplified the process and love you content keep making such amazing content

[@ZulieWrites]

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@djokaymegamixer]

This has to be one of most interesting videos I have seen. You're a great teacher! 😊 You just earned a subscriber. 😊

[@ZulieWrites]

Wow, thank you! And welcome aboard!

[@lindawebb5379]

This video is SO helpful! I've watched it twice, actually, so I could write everything down! I also downloaded your templates, so detailed and even more helpful, I recommend them to anyone watching these videos who suffers from writer's block like I do. Your templates just might save my life! 😉😄🙏🙏🙏

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@nothingbutthis7316]

@lindawebb5379 where did you download the templates? I can’t see anything.

[@isaac6237]

This is quality content, thanks Zulie.

[@ilovejapanesemusic3858]

This really helps a lot. It's cool you remember your high school literature class.

[@jessicaharperauthor]

Very useful, given me just the steer I need. Thanks.

[@honestnourishment6203]

Thanks! I'm going to use this today and see how it goes. I started a blog, but I'm really bad at writing. I'm also trying to say "I'm not bad, I just need more practice!" When you're bad at something, it just seems like work and not a lot of fun!🤣

[@ZulieWrites]

You're welcome! And honestly, thinking you're bad is the first sign to becoming a great writer because you know that you need to improve something. Otherwise you'd never make progress! Every good writer thinks like this and it means you're on the right track. You got this!

[@Fuadstar55]

I want to start my blog soon, and this is very informative. Thanks a lot Zulie!

[@josephuzuegbu7431]

Rane, I really love the way you explain how to structure blog post

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad you like it!

[@juzpoptakach]

That is great in it's simplicity, thanks

[@d7writes]

Thanks for putting this together. I've been entertaining the idea of writing more often (instead of just journaling) and was looking for example outlines to introduce some structure to my writing. I like that your outline breaks things down into three simple areas of focus. It might even be a good exercise to use the finished article as a starting off point for an even more in-depth essay. Cheers, and thanks again! 😊

[@CoreyDWillis]

This was insanely useful! I love a simple, yet comprehensive structure.

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DataProfessor]

Thanks Zulie, lots of great tips and advices in this video :)

[@elviralopez6401]

Thank you so much. I can now say that I now possess a great tool to tackle my blogging task about to begin.

[@isabel-abril]

This is fab! I have an idea for an article but wasn't sure how to develop it so it would have value for the people reading it. I am going to use this structure and squeeze the juices out of it! Yeeessss 💪

[@warrenr.johnson7990]

Excellent advice.

[@quepc619]

love your personality!

[@lynitawashington262]

Thank you this video has helped me out a lot. Now, I know what I can do to improve my blog post structure.

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad it was helpful!

[@love83forever]

Brilliant analogy. I will create my own structure from a similar framework. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@marianavargas7962]

Hey! Thank you for this video, very insightful. You mentioned you have more advanced outlines, it would be great if you make a video for them as well!

[@theproductivityway1928]

Hi Zulie, thank you so much for sharing this amazing and easy to understand structure. Do you have also have a video/blog post that breaks down one of your articles written with this outline? Because that would help a lot.

[@emoses]

Thanks for the suggestions... It's really helpful. You are lovely !

[@ZulieWrites]

My pleasure 😊

[@lindokuhleshandu4024]

Hey Zulie. Quick question. Can you import a blog you wrote and published on Medium to your Squarespace blog without having to rewrite it on Squarespace?

[@ZulieWrites]

I don't think that works. But you can do it the other way around. Just make sure to use a canonical link in that case!

[@ashishkumarchandan5139]

Your innocent voice really really Lovable

[@me-zs7tr]

you're so amazing

[@ChickenFriedBBQ]

a little off topic, I built a website in WordPress and it automatically created a "hello world" blog post? and somehow i am getting spam replies to that post....but i don't have a blog section on my website? how are people seeing this post and replying....eventually i want to start blogging, but struggling to understand how i have 3 pages of replies ......and i have searched my website, and cant find the "hello world" post?

[@ZulieWrites]

I'm not a WP expert I'm afraid, but this sounds weird! I'd recommend checking with their help team if you haven't already

[@naseera5084]

So I was wondering if I can write a friendly article on medium but it's also formal So like can I write articles that are like a combination of friendly and formal, or is it recommended to write formally.

[@ZulieWrites]

Whatever sounds most like YOUR voice!

[@kelemogotsi5309]

Hi Zulie, how does this structure tie in with your previous video on the anecdote-science-DIY structure?

[@ZulieWrites]

They're separate! Both work well, and I use both - just depends what kind of story you're looking to write.

[@tamimhasan8461]

Hey. Sisters i need buying pillar content outline

[@abdim8766]

Do you don't know what you are talking about, but one thing is for sure, You are extremely beautiful.

[@basmaidris1321]

[@mitchmarland]

Your video isn't relevant to anything I'm interested in, but I think you're real cute.

[@coder_369]

Closing remark at ...13:46 "Don't be too hard on yourself, writing is hard, you taking a bunch of grey matter in your brain pushing it thro' your fingers trying to tickle someone else's soul with your words, is the hard thing to do and even if you're trying that's amazing." I had to quote this Zulie, you are an amazing Author.

[@nirellediamond]

Thank you for this! Super helpful

[@christinemeyer7163]

after watching many videos, Someone at last SHOW the template what to write when you start writing your blog.Thank you!!!

[@creativebreathings]

Thank you for the video and blog post, Zulie! Your empathy shines through in your teaching.

[@forhadrh]

Your articles are amazing, maam! It's an honour to have such wonderful lessons from one of my favourite writer 🖤

[@ramizbaloch8775]

Zulie, I enjoyed your videos a lot but as a newbie, I am struggling to enter in the medium writing field. I hope you will do a live session or some one-hour-long video of step 1 to succeed in the medium. I mean like a short course.

[@Leila160591]

This is so helpful, Zulie, thank you. I'm going to use this strategy to write my next article. I already started to write similar to your template, but this is really amazing!

[@financialfreedomfinders2174]

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad it was helpful!

You're awesome!

[@SteveHigginsWriterBloggerPoet]

Great video, thanks Zulie

[@annamariaa2573]

Thanks for this post it was super helpful. Where can we have access to your more advanced outlines? Thanks!

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad to hear that! I do occasional "Write with me live"s where I explain the complete process behind my outlines. Apart from that, you can consider purchasing the article template on my website (www.zuliewrites.com/for-writers/p/the-asd-article-template). Hope that helps!

[@lovematters7122]

How related are your blog posts? Are they all have the same subject or theme, and similar content, or are they very different? Thank you for this great tutorial for writing in general!

[@ZulieWrites]

Glad you liked it! For the most part I stick to freelancing/writing/the creator economy, but I do occasionally venture out into other topics, like Taylor Swift, data science, or cats as the mood takes me.

[@ayusharya707]

Thank you so much for this video. I have recently started writing on medium and your videos have been a great help. 😀

[@ZulieWrites]

Happy to help!

[@quepc619]

Just wanted to let you know that I was able to write about 3 blog posts in an hour using this outline. Thank you!

[@ZulieWrites]

So happy to hear that!!

[@DannyKerbel]

Thanks! Do you have a video on a more advanced outline you mentioned?

[@ZulieWrites]

I have one for sale here: zuliewrites.ck.page/products/asd-article-template

[@thingsiplay]

Is it a coincidence that your video is also under 15 Minutes?

[@ZulieWrites]

Haha, I decided on the title after editing the video to 15 minutes :D
