Title Matters
The first thing is to have an interesting or catchy title. For your information, people are looking for different things. Some are looking for knowledge. Certain folk want to do research for a purchasing decision. Some want to find out the best product/service which they will eventually acquire. Put yourself in the reader’s shoes and brainstorm what they need as well as want. This will shorten the timespan to choose the right title and the appropriate content for it.
Have Striking Images
Including images makes a blog look good and easy to read. You can source your images from free sites. If you can afford it, go for paid sites. In general, paid sites have a wider variety of images and have better quality images than free sites. Do not make the mistake of selecting the first image you come across. Allocate time to go through and shortlist the appropriate and best image for your blog.
Optimize the Blog for Higher Search Engine Rankings
One important factor is fast loading of the blog. Readers will not wait to read blogs that take too much time to load. Make sure that your blog is responsive. To put it simply the blog should look good as well as easy to read across multiple devices. Today most people use their respective smartphones to do various activities including reading blogs. Avoid keyword stuffing. The blog should have a title that is high in demand. The focus keyword should be included in the title, sub-headings, a few times within the blog as well as in the meta description.
Use a quality hosting platform for your website. The reason being your blog will load faster and there will be minimal downtime. Other advantages of using a quality hosting platform are stellar customer support and ease of publishing the blog. Also, you can edit the blog conveniently with little or no technical knowledge.
Ease of Readability
Do not use bombastic language and obscure words. Use simple words known to most readers. Offer translation to cater to readers familiar with languages other than the one the blog is written in. Have relevant sub-headings for paragraphs that readers can scan and decide whether to read that particular paragraph or not. Use short as well as simple sentences. It is a good practice to use active voice instead of passive voice in the blog. Each paragraph should be short and not too big. Organizing the content will surely help readability and scale up popularity.
Edit Well
Use tools such as Grammarly to spot and rectify spelling mistakes, grammatical errors as well as incorrect punctuation. It is a good practice to proofread the blog at least twice to make sure the blog quality is satisfactory. Have a fresh pair of eyes to examine the content. This is because another person will have a different perspective and catch errors you have missed or overlooked.
Have both Internal Links and External Links
Include a few internal links in the blog. The links could offer additional information or in-depth explanations. Do not have too many links as this will make the blog look cluttered and confuse the reader. Include a few external links to authoritative sites. This will boost credibility as well as ramp up search engine rankings for the blog.
A Final Note
Make sure your blog delivers real value, is easy to read, and visually appealing. Once it’s live, promote it across platforms, respond to comments, and give credit where it’s due. Consistency, quality, and engagement are what turn a casual reader into a loyal follower.
