How To Write A Conclusion For Your Blog Posts!
Point Out What Your Reader Has Learned!
As I mentioned before don't just summarize repeat or throwback at your readers face what they have already ready - this is not a good example of how to write a conclusion at all!
In fact it is outright terrible!
And at best bland!
Instead, point out the key take away's and lessons that your reader has got from reading your blog post. This is so that in case of them skipping over and skimming your article they can, and will learn and take away something from reading just your conclusion.
From the example summary above you can clearly see I'm summarizing the key points from the rather long article.

Best Ways To Start A Conclusion Paragraph
Remind your audience what the point and purpose of the article is. Is it solving a particular problem?, to get your reader to take action?, to teach something?
Then just give your reader that little reminder of the point and purpose of your blog post and keep them inspired and motivated to it and ultimately - Take Action!.
Do remember that every single post, article, video or just about any single thing that you create, even infographics, emails and what you post on social media MUST have and ABSOLUTELY needs a predefined crystal clear purpose.
You are most certainly not writing or creating content for the sheer heck of it or to please search engines like Google, Bing or Yahoo. It has a strategic and defined purpose both for yourself and your audience, to get them to move forward to the proceeding stage of your online business.
How To Start A Conclusion - What Is The End Goal?
What is the purpose of your article, what is its end goal?. What is in it for your reader?.
Your readers want to get or gain something from spending their time reading your content and haven taken action on it - e.g what is the desired outcome for your reader? has a particular problem been solved? have they learned how to do something?.
Spell it out to them, tell your readers what benefit they will receive by taking action and positively encourage your reader to act upon it!
Spell out what the benefits are for your reader. Which may be:
- Getting more traffic & making more sales so they finally quit the 9-5 slavery and go live their dream life!
- Get is shape, drop a few dress sizes and look more attractive and feel sexier, re-ignite a dull and boring marriage or relationship.
- To potty train that K9 and stop your house smelling of dog poo and the associated shame and embarrassment of having such a stinky home.
- To be a blogger and affiliate marketer and start working for themselves when they want and from where they want - even from the beach! and get rid of that yakity yak boss!
Ask A Question That Provokes Thought
Where and when it is possible for you, in your conclusion ask your readers thought provoking questions that get their old grey matter going!.
For Any Particular Niche Site "now that you have learned "XYZ" what are you going to do with this new knowledge?"
General Question To Ask In the Digital Marketing Sphere "Do you really, believe that the "so called gurus" have a bunch of secrets they are not telling you?"
General Question For Any Niche "If you learned and knew this a few of years ago in what way would you be living a much better life?"
