When content is addictive, it draws people back to it over and over again and hopefully you will get an #upvote.
1- Write Benefit-Driven #Headlines. The first thing your readers see is the headlines. Based on the headlines, they will decide whether should they read further. An easy way to come out with benefit-driven headlines is to use the headline formula. But coming out with the headlines are not enough. You should also test your headline and see which have the most engagement/conversion. 2- Write longer #articles to signal quality. Have you been writing articles that are between 400 to 600 words? If so, please stop. Unless you are like Seth Godin, most are not able to build an audience with short articles. Longer articles tend to rank and convert better (average length of Google top 10 results for 20,000 keywords is about 2000 words). To create longer articles, you can increase the number of items (101 vs. 10 ways to …) or write more depth by providing examples. 3- Use short introductions. The introduction is the second most important component of your post. Do not try to be long-winded and beat around the bush. 4- Create audience persona. Did you try creating an audience persona whenever you write a blog post? An audience persona will help you make your blog more targeted and relevant. Like starting a business, the more targeted it is, the higher chance it will have success. You can use Twitter / LinkedIn to learn more about your target audience. 5- Create proven and share-worthy content. One sure way to increase the chances of the success of your post is to use the Skyscraper Technique by Brian Dean. Use Buzzsumo to find out what are the popular topics in your niche, and make it even better. 6- Write evergreen content. Evergreen contents are contents that will stay relevant for a long period. Usually, evergreen contents targeted at the beginners and focused on a niche. 7- Provide content upgrades. Content upgrades are resources that are specific to the page your reader is reading. It is not a generic #ebook or toolkit that you offer on every page of your site. Examples of content upgrades are PDF version of the article, summarized checklist, templates, and a bonus version of the article. 8- Ensure that your content is readable. Readable contents are free of technical jargons and filled with short sentences. One way to measure the readability of your content is to use the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level. You can use Hemingway App to calculate the readability of your content, and how to improve it.
