Perhaps the most important part of any blog post is the title. I know you think it should be the content but that’s the second most important here’s why. On the Internet, headlines are often displayed out of context. A reader will click on the topic that catches their attention even when it’s not what they are actually looking for! It’s the nature of the beast.
The more creative you are with your title without being outright deceitful the better your chances are for having your blog clicked on. Go on the web and search for a topic then mentally take note of the headlines which catch your attention. Do they have something in common? Compare the font size, bold, text, there is something that makes those links stand out to you more than the others.
Can you imagine if they all contained the same exact information but you picked one above the others for something as simple as bolding the font? Once you have settled on your dynamic attention getting title what will your reader see? You have a 5 second window to share what it is you want to get across. I am really being generous with giving 5 seconds especially if you are writing about a maxed out topic. So for the few seconds of time you have to hold your visitors attention add a few pictures and video to make your post more entertaining.
A picture can say a thousand words so be sure the image you choose sends a message then you can cut down on some of the text for an easier reading experience. Free or images for sale can be found on the internet or use images that you personally own. Do not just steal images from the internet because you do not want someone to do it to you.
When formatting the content break your post up into small paragraphs. Create headlines bolded or in a little larger font than the rest of the text. Internet readers will skim over the page looking for highlights and strong points rather than reading every word. Make sure your colors aren’t offensive and by that I mean loud and clashing. Use text that is easy to read not too large and not too small or in a crazy font. A pretty page will make your blog pleasing to the eye and make your readers more likely to stay on your page longer.
If you are interested in starting to make money with your blog content, you will need to promote your blog to as many people as possible.
