The Anatomy of a Good Blog Post

Kayla Lords

Kayla Lords is a freelance sex writer, podcaster, blogger, all-around sex content creating human, and she really likes creating content. As a writer, she focuses on sex and kink primarily on BDSM and power exchange. She works with private clients to write their content and manage their social media, while also co-hosting two podcasts, running a YouTube channel, and managing multiple blogs. Let's just say, she stays busy and wants to keep it that way. Kayla is an international speaker and an award-winning sex blogger. She believes we are stronger together as a community than we are isolated and apart. We all deserve to get paid for the work we do, but until we understand our cumulative power, we'll all wonder if we're "the only one" doing this smutlancing thing.

    I really do proofread my posts three times lol! Grammar isn’t my strong point though, affect and effect just give me a headache.

    These are great tips, as always. Grammarly, especially, is amazing!

      The trick I learned about affect and effect is that affect is based on action and effect is based on emotion. But when in doubt, I go to a site called Grammar Girl to double check myself…or use “impact” instead, lol.

      And I feel you on proofing posts. GOTN read and commented on a post of mine one time, and I felt COMPLETELY honored…and then I found three typos. I *died* inside. One of my tricks is to read it out loud so that I have to say the words which helps me find some problems. The other is to save the draft and preview it on the site so I’m looking at it in another format. I catch all kinds of things that way. But none of us are perfect and mistakes get through.

    Thank You! I will definitely look up Grammar Girl. And that’s a great tip to read the post out loud. I imagine that would help somewhat with my public speaking too. Which is absolutely atrocious lol x

    I’m 100% down a rabbit hole of reading old blog posts and I just wanted to let you know that I giggled at ‘Give (Sub) Head’. I also love how you used the techniques that you were talking about to illustrate how effective they are! I’m definitely still working on the last one: I have somehow internalised that unless I’m writing 1,000 words it’s not “enough”, even though I know lots of people are more likely to stick around to read shorter posts! Telling the story in whatever length it takes is such good advice – maybe I should write it on a post-it note and stick it to my laptop to help me remember it?
