How to Get an Edge over Other Bloggers?
Now, the question arises is that with a huge number of blogging sites and countless numbers of bloggers popping up out there, how can one penetrate into such huge crowd and make his blog stand out? In other words, what a blogger must do in order to make his blog post appealing, eye catchy, relevant and engaging to the audience?Following mentioned are few tips that can really increase the number of visitors on your blog site and can make your post visually appealing and attractive.
Write only what is "Necessary":
First of all, you need to remember that the readers have no time to read each and every word, so make sure that you know what you are talking about, and you should talk only what is "necessary".I emphasize here again on the word "necessary", because we are living in the digital era and now we don’t only have traditional barriers but online or multi-dimensional barriers as well. Adding to the irony, we are now moving from even social to instant media where Whatsapp and Viber are engaging audiences every second. Therefore, we’ve to deliver the content to our audience that is brief yet complete.
The Power of Images:
Writers often feel difficult to sum up a thing in 3-4 lines, which actually requires a full paragraph for discussion. And, you must know yourself that the audience are now interested in only the crux of the story. So, how can a whole paragraph’s message be conveyed in a one-line sentence? Fortunately, there is a simple option which, in this scenario, is an image.Images can do wonders better than 5-6 lines of text, describing the same thing. So, use relevant images where necessary and make your content brief so that it can be please the eyes of your readers and keep them engaged in your content.
Font size and Color:
As much as the content is important, equal worth should be given to the font’s size and colors as well. Standard size is 12 fonts and Bloggers should use this font size, because too small or too big font size just irritates the readers. It has been a common practice that bloggers uses high font size to grab the attention of audience. Remember- if you use catchy titles, suitable colors appropriate with your website layout and standard font size, the audience will be motivated to read your content.Use of Exhibits and Diagrams:
Bloggers should use appropriate Exhibits and Diagrams in addition with animated pictures to explain the content and ideas in a better way. Exhibits or diagrams clarify the concepts of readers and increase their engagement two fold.In the end, use excellent vocabulary and omit jargons as they only create problems in the minds of your readers. Always do spell check, include proper sentence structures, add relevant images to your content, write brief but complete sentences and use catchy titles. Lastly, link your blog with the sources where you have taken any idea, content or source.
List Posts
This is another great way to make your posts appealing to the eye of a visitor. No matter how long your post is, a reader can easily pick out the important point he or she wants when posts are properly listed. For Example “Top ten best” this makes it easy for a reader to just select and also it helps in terms of traffic too because search engines understand this method very well.Ads Placement
Placing too many ads on your blog and also placing them just anywhere you feel can chase your readers away. Yes we all know you can make money from your blogger but your ads should be a seamless part of your blog and not something that should cover the blog like a billboard. Pop up ads, float over banners, flashing banners can make readers take to their hills. It is best advised that ads be created with medium ad unit and place well in between contents, under contents, header or sidebars.Simple Blog Design
It is also good to have a very simple blog design so that your readers can scan through your blog easily. When you use a complicated template or theme for your blog, not everyone who visits, can easily locate a particular category or post in your blog.These tips will add value to your work and will make it easy for the readers to get engaged!
