Tips to Enhance Your Blog Posts
Tip 1: Add graphics to your posts
Sometimes "a picture paints a thousand words". If you look at popular blogs, almost every professional blogger inserts at least one image into each post. What you will find is that a post with an image doesn't look that boring.
Tip 2: Add videos and audios (podcast) to your posts
Most videos (e.g. from YouTube) and audios can be embedded into your post easily. Make the best out of them and make your posts more interesting to read.
Tip 3: Add polls to your posts
Polls encourage participation from your readers. Readers are often willing to sacrifice a second of their time to share their opinions by voting.
Tip 4: Ask your friends to read what you write and provide feedback
This is probably the best way to obtain valuable and useful feedback on the quality of the content that you produce.
Tip 5: Add related articles
Adding related articles encourages readers to read more on similar topics. This is also the best way to dig out old posts so they don't get forgotten. Every post that you write could be a valuable knowledge to someone.
Tip 6: Update your old posts
The older a post is, the more likely it is to have back links from other websites. Therefore, it is very important to make sure that your old posts are constantly updated. You might have things to add to the topics of your older posts. You might have changed your opinions on the topics of your older posts.
Tip 7: Come up with a list of best posts
This list is very useful because it presents the best of your blog. This list is often found in "about" page and can give your readers an immediate idea of who you are and what your blog is about.
Tip 8: Learn from other professional bloggers
Whenever you have time, you should develop a habit of reading on popular blogs and learn how other people write and put together their posts.
Tip 9: Use headers, bold and underline appropriately
Using headers, applying bold and underlining text in your posts will allow your readers to read easier.
