1. Keep it Short and Simple
[And Make It Easy For The Eyes If It Is Long]
Keeping things short and simple is the universal rule for anything attractive. But what if you are writing a long detailed post?
This is where markdown helps. Use Headings, subheadings, lists and whitespace (a lot of white space) to make it easy on the eyes.
There are always options to make quotes, and verses stand out. Use them!
Properly giving caption, name and description to the images not only help with SEO but also helps your reader to understand things better.
2. Consistency
Following a schedule is a proven winning tool. Showing up to the people who are waiting for you is the best thing you can do.
Fix a timing for your content delivery and follow it. If you are not posting or delaying, let them know. In today's world, there are a number of ways you can let your people know you will be late.
Spend a few seconds to put up a social media post or a story to let them know. After all, who would like to be stood up right? You promised your content to them, keep up with it.
3. Original Content
Original content need not be a unique idea or a new topic. It just means you're giving out a piece of your take on what you are writing or showing. But, even if you are writing on an age old topic, genuine and original ideas, concepts, tips, experiences will always stand out.
For example, if you are a photographer, you don't need to choose a niche that nobody has ever tried. Make content on the niche that you're interested in even if it seems saturated.
But, make your work stand out from the crowd. You can do your photography on travel but the perspective can change according to your taste. Your authenticity on your work is what will make all the difference. So be yourself and give out your best.
4. Use Resources
You don't need to do it all by yourself. Make use of stock images, videos and other art pieces that will convey the message with proper attribution and credits. It will not only save your time but also will help you increase your time to focus on what you are best at.
If you can afford, hire a freelancer to work for your graphics or grab that friend of yours who is good at making graphics. Make sure you treat them well once the job is done.
5. Visual Treats
Visual aids can considerably change the digestion of your blog. Instead of writing the long text blogs, try to make those points as an infographic or a video or a Gif. Consider them as the visual and memory aid for your audience.
The images and other visual articles can make it easy to hold on to your reader’s memory. As I have mentioned above, you can use Canva or any other platform to create compelling visuals.
Conclusion
When it comes to blogging, there are a ton of things to talk about. However, delivering in small chunks is always the better. There you go, that is thbonus tip.
Always remember, you have your style, your own unique way of telling a story. Stick to that and improve on it. Let no SEO classes or marketing techniques dictate the style of your blogs.
