In recent years especially in 2020 due to
Covid-19 pandemic blogging has become very famous because money can be earned
without leaving the comfort of the house. Not every blog is a successful one.
Here are some tips for beginners to start a successful blog.
Usually, for blog posts, the call to action would be to ask readers to
share your content if they liked what they read.
Target Audience
Before you start
writing, it’s vital that you know well about your target audience and what they
are expecting?
Instead of
guessing and getting a headache, make proper decisions by doing research and market
analysis. There are free resources out there that you can make blogging experience
easy for you.
Here are some resources,
you might need for advanced keywords search so that you may know your audience;
Google Trends: A great website
designed by Google to show its search results, keywords popularity and also
regional search trends. You can easily search any keyword and know its
popularity in any part of the world. And luckily, it’s all free.
Quora: A great
platform where you can ask questions about target audiences and there are thousands
of experts out there that will help you and ratify your concerns.
Write Appealing Heading
If you don’t write an appealing heading or
title for your blog then there is a great chance that no one reads your blog
and you will be dishearten.
Most of us humans are not deep thinkers.
We judge a book by its cover and a blog by its title. The success of your blog
depends directly on the title heading you use.
We recommend that you use an appropriate software
for making appealing heading or use Google Trends either.
Add Breakups in the Paragraphs
Formatting and adding breakups in paragraphs
are most important for blogs. It’s really disturbing to read one giant
paragraph in your blog.
We recommend that there must be breakups
in larger paragraphs so that the users interest remains in the post because
most of the people skim through large content. And shorter paragraphs make them
read the entire blog.
Anything that makes user’s eye comfortable
will be very good for the blog.
Using Bullet Points
People like to skim blogs before they actually
read it. So, make sure to highlight your best points. This way, they can easily
sense the worth of the blog.
Alongside subheadings, bullet points are ideal
to skim through them.
Here are some tips to write bullet points
that will appeal to people;
- Keep the bullets symmetrical.
- Write key points in bullets not full paragraphs.
- Use it for Listing things
Again, people do not come to the blog for
leisurely reading on the couch. They need specific information, and they do not
want to work to access it.
Bullet points are great to spoon-feed your
audience in a way that keeps them coming back to you.
Adding Images
The human brain has the ability to process
visual content a lot faster than text-based content. So, adding attractive
images can help boost audience engagement.
There are loads of great free resources
for finding high-quality royalty-free images.
But honestly, its better taking off your
own photos or creating your own images. Stock photos are great when you’re in a
hurry but they aren’t that personal.
SEO Optimization
In the blogging world, SEO is an essential tool to be recognized in the
internet world. The truth is that organic searches on Google is a huge chunk of
the internet traffic for most websites.
If you want to maximize your organic visitors, then it is highly
recommended that you SEO optimize your blog post for ranking factors.
Below are some of the tips that you must follow:

Adding Clear
Call-to-Action
Here’s the last tip for writing a blog that makes it readers to a clear
call-to-action.
You must clearly state what you’d like them to do, whether it’s to ask readers
to leave a comment, share your blog post or follow you on social media.
