3 Ways To Increase The Visibility Of

Your Blog Posts

by Brittany Shelley

Producing and developing a blog is a great

way for companies to not only gain more

customers but also to express their brand and

personality; however, creating a successful

blog can be time consuming, and it takes

time and patience to increase the number of

views.

There are different ways to help draw more

eyes to your content and by using some of

steps outlined below, businesses wanting to

build a better blog presence can gain traction

with their target market.

1. Write for people first, then optimize

your content. When writing any online content, it is important to make

sure that you use a balanced approach between being appealing to the

reader and properly optimizing content for the search engines.

Search engines are constantly changing their algorithms, thus SEO

should be an evolving process utilizing the most up-to-date information;

however, the basics of optimizing blog posts for search engines revolves

around developing keywords, Meta descriptions, and alt text for all

images.

2. Posting to social media is another way to get eyes on your blog

posts. There are different dos and don’ts when it comes to posting on

social media; however, at the very minimum, blog posts should be

shared on networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+.

The great thing about social media is that if people like your content

they will share it on your behalf, boosting the possibility for your blog

post to go viral.

3. Another important point about blogging that should not be

forgotten is to create exciting titles that engage readers. There is no

getting away from the fact that people do still judge a book by its cover,

and it is the same with online content. If the blog post title is not catchy

or intriguing, people are not likely to read the rest of the post. Start with

a working title; after a post is written, refer back to the headline and

ensure that the title is still relevant.

Blogging can be a great way to reach new audiences and engage with

interesting people across your industry. By properly using SEO,

engaging in social media and writing eye-catching titles, your blog posts

are more likely to draw in visitors to your website that could possibly

turn into leads.
