3. Headings and Subheadings
While writing a blog post for your website it is important to divide your topic into headings and subheadings. It will make easy for your readers to easily understand the subject.
Always make headings H2 or H3, depending upon your theme, so it will stand out than other content ideas. It will also help search engines, to understand the importance and sequence of the headings and subheadings.
The most prominent idea should be on the top, and then other ideas or topic should follow in the subheadings. It will make your content more readable and also it will look nice and well-articulated.
Since Google, made prefer the detailed and in-depth articles, the minimum word count for any blog post is 1000 words, so from readers point of view, it is important to make the content easy to read and digestible.
4. Get the Message Very Clear
It is important to keep in mind, what your audience is looking for and you should try your best to make that message very clear through your blog post.
Write in a very simple language, you do not need to write a scholarly article, which your reader need to read with the help of a dictionary.
Most of the times, today’s’ reader first skim the article, if he finds that your blog post is really useful for him then only he reads the full article, so it is important to grab his attention in few words and few lines.
5. Diverse Types of Post
It is important to write a variety of posts on your website. If you are writing review posts, write product reviews, service reviews, top 10 posts and so on.
Always mix your content with informative posts. The content ration of your website should be 80:20 for product reviews and informative posts.
If you only write product reviews, it will become monotonous, and your reader may find it very typical, without any innovation.
6. Create Your Own Writing Style
Today the content is being produced as never before, every day ton of articles get published on Google and it has become hard to grab the readers attention.
So in this situation, it is important to create your own writing style, add a bit of humor to your blog posts if possible.
It is ok to follow and copy someone else’s style in the beginning but you should always aim to create your own writing style.
