How to structure your posts 



  1. Write great headlines for people and search engines

Most marketers concentrate on SEO (search engine optimization) more than the human readers.  When you focus too much on search engines, you loose out on your readers. You need to create a balance by writing for your readers first and then back it up by keywords for search engines. Therefore, write headlines that appeal to people and to search engines as well.



  1. Write on trending topics

Writing on trending topics in your niche will increase your traffic. People want to know what is new in their industry and how they can use it to their advantage. You can use Google Trends to see what is hot in your niche, conduct research and write in-depth content on it.



  1. Write in a conversational tone

Readers are able to connect with you easily when you use an easy to understand tone in your contents, such as using the words “you” and “I” within your contents, asking questions, keeping your paragraphs short and to the point etc. When you do this continuously, you will increase the number of people who visits your blog.


Blog post here is not limited to articles alone, you can include infographics, videos, podcast, Powerpoint presentations, white papers, e-books to spice up your blog. Your audience will have lots of options to choose from, thereby creating more engagements.

There are different ways you can promote your content.  First off, you can use popular social media networks, such as Facebook, twitter, Linkedin, etc. These medium will put your content in front of your target audience. Secondly, you can use forum marketing. Look for forums in your industry and engage with the community, share your content and valuable advice. Members will follow you to your blog from there.
