Hello my fellow bloggers, been doing some research on how to blog more effectively recently and I got to tell you this is actually working! Made a few experiments over the last couple weeks and this are my findings that I feel work. Follow these steps and I am sure these will work for you!
The Post Headline…
The first thing I have noticed that grabs a lot of attention is the blog headline, this is what attracts people to read about what you have to say. Make this big, bold and maybe colourful. A lot of sales page headlines are big, bold, and red because, scientifically, that is the best way to attract your eye.
Include images in your posts. People like to look at images and helps give the reader a better picture to what you are describing, as the saying goes “Pictures paint a thousand words.” A good post image attracts your eye immediately and subtly summarizes the main point of your blog post.
A Trust Building Message…
Once you nail down the headline, it’s time to deliver what it promises. Every page on your blog is an opportunity to give something while building trust with your audience. Too many people clog up their blogs with content that doesn’t do either.
Get your readers to comment…
My goal here is almost always to get you to comment. One, I enjoy learning more about you. And two, if you comment, I’ll typically reply. When you see that I reply, you’ll comment more often. Then, every time you comment, you’ll return a day or two later to check your comment.
I hope you like this post, if there is anything else I can help you with please do not hesitate to contact me.
