CopyBlogger recently came out with a list of 8 great and easy ways to get more people to read your content. CopyBlogger is a great website for help with blogging. Here is the list of 8 great ways to get more people to read your blogs, web pages, posts, etc and my thoughts:
- Embrace the Line Break- use paragraphs. Keep in mind most people skim over pages. So by breaking your thoughts up, it make sit easier for them to skim and read what they want
- Break up your Topics with Sub Heads- just like using paragraphs this is a great idea. Subheads are great if you are writing a longer post or have many different topics within the post
- Use Bullet Lists- I love this idea and I use it often. It gets the reader's attention and makes it easier for your to highlight the important information. I also like to use numbered lists
- Use Deep Captions- Image Captions are the most attention grabbing information on a page for most readers(skimmers).
- Add Highly Relevant Links- More important then anything we do is to make the information we give relevant. That is what keeps readers on your page and makes you appear as an expert on a topic. Relevant links is part of this.
- Use Strategic Formatting- Bold the important words. Or maybe even use different colors
- Use Numeric lists- I beat them to the punch and mentioned my love for numbered lists in #3. I love numbered lists!!! It makes the reading easier for the reader and easier for you to highlight a list of items that are important to the topic.
- Check your Dual Readership path- translation: Proof Read. Are you giving the reader the jest of the post in the easiest and most direct way possible.
- BONUS!!! Use Photos- it gets their attention and I have read that photos keep someone on your page for up to 3 times longer then pages/posts without photos.
I hope you found this information helpful. Good luck with your blogging!
