10 Blogging Tips To Grow Your Blog Quickly

Remember that when it comes to blogging, content is king.

Wherever you visit or ask for Blogging Tips, be prepared to be told to create amazing content

Blogging means writing content

Unless your Content stands out, you are not gonna get much traction

So, create Unique, Original, helpful Content

Make sure your content is actionable and helps your readers solve their problems or kinda get some sort of benefits by reading your article

Try to be as personal as you can with your Content to make them feel like you are actually narrating it to them, instead of they reading it

To do that, there is one easy tweak.

Just include and use the word “You” and “I”.

In that way, your content will be more personal and feels like it’s a conversation and is written just written just for him/her.

When you are more conversational with them, they are more likely to engage and respond

3) Paragraphs Should Be No More Than 5-6 Lines

Internet People normally tend to have a shorter Attention span

There are dozens of sites covering on that same topic which you cover

So if your content has not good readability, they are gonna leave unless you are the only site writing on that topic, which is totally rare.

Try to keep your paragraphs as short as you can

If your paragraph is more than 5 or 6 line, you are gonna overwhelm them

4) No Grammatical Errors

There are no direct ranking effects on Grammatical Error.

However, most of the Web pages ranking on top tends to have no grammatical errors.

It also affects user experience

So, make sure to create grammatical errorless content.

5) Include Graphics

As they say “Images speak a Thousand Words”

Try to add at least 1 images or graphics to your Blog Post.

It Encourages social media Interest and Sharing.

But just don’t add a random image, use the right image relevant to convey and backup your message.

If your article has a huge amount of text to read but with no sub-headings

Chances are people are just gonna exit your site and not read it

It’s that important

Subheadings provide an easy and quick guide of what your article is gonna be about, what topics are covered, etc

If you haven’t use subheading in the past, just try using them and analyze the difference with your readers dwell time, engagements, etc.

7) Optimized Your Headlines For CTR

Headlines are Super Important!

Have you ever google search something and you click the third or the fourth-ranking webpage instead of the first or the second because the headline is so appealing that you literally can’t help clicking it

That’s the power of optimizing your headline.

According to Copyblogger, 80% of your visitors will read the headline – but only 20% will read on to finish the article.

Even if your content is amazing and is the best, but if your headline is appealing enough, not many will click through it.

That means the time, money and energy you put on creating that awesome piece of content hasn’t produced the best ROI

So, Don’t be that person who just publishes the Blog post just after the content part is done

Take extra steps to optimize your headline to get more Click through rate (CTR)

You should spend your time on headline as much as you spend on creating the content.

Keyword research is basically your weapons in SEO war.

Proper keyword research lies at the heart of a successful Internet marketing campaign

Web users type in a keyword or a keyword phrase for that term which they wanna see the result

So, unless you optimize your content around a keyword, it’s gonna be hard for you to rank and bagged Organic traffic to your site

9) Promote Your Content

No matter how amazing your content is, if you did not promote it no one’s gonna read it

Just follow The 80/20 Rule

Basically, The 80/20 Rule means that you should spend 20% of your time creating the content and Spend the other 80% of the time promoting it.
