It's all about ENGAGEMENT!!

 

Hello, hello!!

This week is all about 🌟Engagement🌟. Basically, I’m going to talk ye through how to keep your readers interested in your blogs and hopefully I’ll learn a thing or two from it myself. Let’s get into it…

 

1.      Target Audience

Know your audience and write to them. Research and get to know what they’re into. For example, if your audience is teens, then incorporate a bit of slang to keep the cool kids drawn in and keep it fresh😎.

2.      Irresistible Titles

Make your title so intriguing that people can’t help but click on it. Even use a bit of clickbait if needed.

Clickbait: The practice of writing sensational or misleading titles to make people click on your content.

3.      Digestible Word Count

This is something I’m sticking to myself (I think). Keep the blogs short and snappy! Unfortunately, people these days have the attention span of a goldfish (approx. 8 seconds). If people were to click into a blog and see 500+ words, I can assure you they’d be clicking back out just as quick.

4.      Clear Points

This kind of connects back to the whole attention span thing but your points need to be clear, to the point, no waffle and skimmable content honestly. Use bullet points, numbered points, or headings to separate out your work and make it easy to read.

5.      Upload Regularly

Lastly, upload regularly. If you want to improve engagement, through likes and comments, publishing often is key. Get your name out there by uploading up-to-date content and gain a following.

I hope this was helpful in some way, I know I learned from my research😉.

Until next time,
