The last thing you want to do when sitting in the coffee shop at 6:30 AM is stare at a blank screen with writer’s block. A great way to break through and get going on your next post is to start with blog post templates.
Today we will use the SterySEO Heading Scraper to generate 50 blog post templates in 5 mins.
We’ll start with 5 of the most common types of articles and scrape headings from the top-ranking results to get our templates.
For this post, we’ll find templates for a site focused on “tea.” We’ll look at two top-ranking results for each keyword for ideas on how to structure our article.
When writing your outline, you want to pull parts from the top-ranking sites to write the post from your specific angle. You don’t want to copy the top post word-for-word.
