It's All About Engagement

 

Creating an engaging blog requires a combination of good writing and thoughtful content. It might seem like a daunting task but writing an engaging blog post is actually easier than you may think. Here are four of my tips:

1.      Create Compelling Headlines:

It’s important to create compelling headlines that arouse readers’ curiosity and give them a reason to click on your blog post. This can be achieved by using trigger words. Trigger words or phrases that compel the reader to take action and in this case the action would be clicking the bog post to read it.

 

2.      Use Bulleted/Numbered Lists:

More people skim through blog posts and look to only read the most interesting parts. The most effective way to engage with readers and encourage them to read through your bog is by using bullet points or numbered lists. This helps break the text. When using bullet points remember to keep the text concise and to be engaging start each point off with a verb. Verbs imply action and this will naturally get the reader to be more engaged when reading your blog.

 

3.      Include Relevant Images:

Inclusion of pictures, videos and infographics break up the text and make your blog easier to read. The images need to be visually appealing and of good quality to get more views and clicks. Visual content can also help convey your message more effectively.

 

4.      Avoid Jargon:

Write in a friendly tone to connect with your readers on a personal level. Jargon can inhibit this from happening as it can come across as pretentious and too formal. If you need to use jargon because of your niche it’s important to always define it for your readers who may not understand.
