Great content is the best sales tool in the world ― Marcus Sheridan
When writing a blog post, it’s essential to make sure that your post stands out in the sea of content hitting your prospects online. Following are a few ways to accomplish this:
1. Write a catchy headline that accurately reflects the post’s content. Your headline should be attention-grabbing and make the reader want to click through to read your post.
2. It’s important to consider how visuals can be used to enhance your blog posts. Include photos or videos in your post to break up the text and add visual interest. Graphics and videos can make a point more clearly, or add interest. In some cases, visuals can be essential for understanding a concept. For example, a graph or chart can be much more effective than text in explaining trends or data. When used effectively, visuals can make a blog post more engaging and memorable, especially branded graphics (never underestimate the power of branding).
3. The blog post content should be well-written and grammatically correct. Good grammar makes your writing look more professional and easier for your readers to understand. Well-written, engaging, grammatically correct blog posts are more likely to be shared by others, which can help to grow your audience.
4. The content should be informative, providing the reader with valuable insights. Be helpful. Write posts that offer valuable information or insights. This way, readers will come to your blog for guidance and advice.
5. Keep it concise. Don’t make your post too long – aim for around 500 words. This way, readers will be more likely to stick with it until the end.
6. Good blog posts also have a strong call-to-action (CTA), urging the reader to take some sort of desired action. A CTA allows you to direct the reader to take a specific action, such as visiting your website, signing up for your newsletter, or making a purchase. Including a call to action ensures that your readers don’t just read your content and then forget about it.
7. Good blog posts are also shareable, meaning they are likely to be passed along to others via social media or email. By promoting your article, you’ll reach a larger audience and increase the chances of your article going viral.
By following these tips, you’ll end up with a GREAT blog post that will engage and inform your readers, get you new customers and generate sales.
