The all-important basics:
When writing a blog post it is very easy to overlook the important and small details, like the very basics in writing an effective blog post. Most would tell you it is only the text the text that the blog contains that matters, others would tell you the more information the better. – In some ways these points are agreeable. However must never be thought of as the most important points when creating a blog post, as the most crucial points are the very simpler ones. Although these points aren’t to be totally neglected, without the very simple knowledge of how to write an interesting blog post and keep your readers interested, you will not have yourself a blog post that is a success, or you will have a blog post that isn’t as good as it could be if these tips had been applied. For example, have a browse through our SEO Blog.
So, let’s get to the point. One very basic point, which is crucial is always make your blog post scannable by the way it’s put together. For example, Use fonts that are attention grabbing, keeping them interested as text that looks the same, with a repetitive structure becomes boring. Use bold, italic, underlined text and never the same fonts. Also use capital letters, as it can show the importance of text, therefore making it attention grabbing. Apply all these techniques remembering not to overdo them as that can be frustrating for the person reading.
Be straight forward. Sticking to the point is far more useful than getting distracted and getting too involved with what you’re writing and gradually getting off subject and forgetting the point. Readers are more likely to stay around if your content is to the point and easy to understand. You should not announce too many new topics as this can overshadow your key points and most important content. Emphasize your key points through your text in effective and creative ways, rather than keep saying the same thing but in slightly different ways.
If you put all of these skills into use, or even a few of them, you are off to a fine start. If you feel your blog posts could be better and could do with enthusiasm or interest and you are applying some but not all of these techniques, then start practicing the ones you currently aren’t… As you will certainly see an improvement in your blog posts, making you more professional, and the rewards are yours to reap.
