3 Blogging Tips to Get More Traffic and Exposure

By Claire Bonito


Have you been blogging for a while? If so, even the more advanced blogging techniques may not be something that you are currently aware of. After you learn the advanced techniques, refining them is something you need to keep doing. Anyone that does blogging will feel more comfortable doing it once everything is set up the way they want it. Anyone that starts a new blog has to come to the realization that no one is actually listening to them when they first start out. The following blogging tips will give you more power and confidence.

Skimming is more common than conventional reading on the internet. It's not normal reading in the sense you start at the top and read it like a book. Rather than worry about this, you should create your content to match it. If you follow certain procedures, you can make your blog more reader friendly. If you want to make your content accessible, use plenty of lists. Readers' eyes gravitate to lists because they stand out. They're also very easy to skim and get a fast idea about the meaning. If you fit some essential facts into a list, a reader who is skimming your article will still find it valuable. What this method will also do is pull them along and this ensures they'll hopefully skim to the end.

Reading something out loud can tell you more about it than simply reading it silently to yourself. It can be very helpful to do this with every single piece that you write, though at some point you won't have to do it anymore. This may sound strange, but it will truly help you write in a stronger and more persuasive manner. Your writing voice is something you want to become familiar with.

Try to imagine that you are working on your blog or on a topic that you just hate. You hate it because you find it boring and it is not anything in which you might ever feel interested. It's similar to the feeling you get while talking to someone who doesn't want to talk to you. We all know that feeling at least one or two times in our lives. Your blog can't ever go anywhere if you are blogging about a subject that you don't enjoy. Readers will be able to sense your lack of passion or emotional involvement. This will make your blog content feel boring and will make your readers feel negatively, which they aren't going to appreciate. So if you can't stand your blog topic, it is better to pay someone else to write about the topic for you.

You may be blogging for business reasons, but it can also be a very enjoyable pastime. Your enthusiasm will be contagious when people see that you're having fun. At first, your blog may be small but if you persist you can watch it grow into something substantial.
