I have come to realize that there is a difference between writing and blogging. Because forgetting why I am sitting down to write, can be the difference between a successful post and a not so successful post. So when I sit down to write my blog post, I need to put on my blogging thinking cap while I work. Here are a few tips that seem to forget from time to time. I hope that writing this post this will help me to remember.
Keep Your Post Simple
Link to Your Older Articles
As you create your new post, add links to your older work. Are there a few relevant posts your readers may find interesting? Then add the links to those posts so your reader doesn’t have to search for them. Check out this great post, Five Qualities of a Great Blog Post. I also have a YouTube of it too. You can find the link here.
Call To Action
At the end of your post; leave a CALL TO ACTION for your readers. Your CTA is to engage your readers one last time. Your CTA can ask them to sign up for your email list, check out another link within your site, leave a comment or to follow you on social media site.
