A great SEO title is the secret sauce to making your valuable content successful. Writing amazing blog posts will get eyes on your site, but a catchy headline is what truly supercharges your search traffic. If you want to boost your clicks, it pays to spend extra time perfecting your titles. Here is how to nail it from the start:
Put your main keyword first

Choose a specific focus keyword for every blog post you write. Once you have it, make sure that exact keyword takes center stage in your title.

  • Example: Instead of: How to Bake the Best Sourdough Bread at Home
  • Try: Sourdough Bread Recipe: How to Bake the Perfect Loaf

Keep it under 60 characters
Search engines cut off long titles in search results. Keep your headline concise so readers can see the full phrase on their screens.
  • Example: Instead of: 10 Amazing and Easy Budget Travel Tips for College Students Traveling to Europe This Summer (101 characters)
  • Try: 10 Easy Budget Travel Tips for Europe (37 characters)

Use power words

Words like “proven,” “essential,” or “effortless” trigger emotional responses. Adding these to your headline makes people want to click through immediately.
  • Example: Instead of: Simple Ways to Clean Your Kitchen Fast
  • Try: 7 Effortless Hacks for a Spotless Kitchen
Include numbers for structure
Readers love lists and guides. Adding a number to your title promises a quick, organized, and easy-to-read format.
  • Example: Instead of: Ways to Improve Your Daily Running Routine
  • Try: 5 Simple Ways to Improve Your Running Routine

Create curiosity or urgency
Hint at a secret, a common mistake, or a quick fix. Giving readers a glimpse of the payoff makes your post irresistible.
  • Example: Instead of: How to Avoid Common Mistakes in Gardening
  • Try: 5 Gardening Mistakes You Are Probably Making
Your SEO title is the very first impression your blog makes on a reader—and on search engines. By taking a few extra minutes to front-load your keywords, add a compelling power word, and keep your length in check, you turn hidden content into a traffic magnet.

3 Blogging Content Tips

Running a blog can be a full-time job. It was a full-time job for me for many years, and it does require consistent creative content. If you are looking to blog successfully, you should be aware of how much work is required to keep your blog searchable and engaging. You want as many views as possible, and so you have to ensure you are using SEO techniques correctly and bringing some form of value to your readers.

It is also important to blog for the right reasons. If you are only starting up blog to make money, you might find it harder to stay motivated, especially in the early stages when it can be really quiet. It takes a lot of resources to build a blog from scatch and to maintain it, so ensure you are in it for the right reasons and not just to make a quick buck!

3 Blogging Content Tips

Blogging content is a lot of work but it is so worth it. So if you are still reading, here are some blogging content tips for you –

Aim for quality over quantity

This is one tip I struggled with in the early days. I always felt like I had to blog everyday, regardless of whether I felt like it or if the blog post was really worth publishing. These days, I opt for quality over quantity. Life is really busy for me, and I don’t have as much time as I would like to have for blog content creation, so it is quality over quantity for Fashion and Style Police. Having said that, I will be posting more frequently on here, so keep watching this space.

When it comes to aiming for quality over quantity, go for detailed and valuable posts, over shorter and more shallow content if possible. Quality posts do better on search engines, and would serve your blog in the long run. Opt for evergreen content as they remain relevant and can bring in long-term blog traffic.

Find your niche

Finding your niche helps you stay focused and motivated. It also helps draw in regular readers and having a strong niche is also great for your blog’s SEO. This is why it is a great idea to blog on topics and themes you are passionate about to avoid experiencing burnout or the dreaded writer’s block.

Be Yourself

I saved the best for last with this tip! There are millions of blogs online from creators all over the world. The only way to stand out is to be yourself. It is super easy to get carried away with the charm of another blog that seems similar to yours, but in the long run, sharing your personal views, lessons, stories and experiences would sustain your blog. So just be yourself and enjoy the blogging experience. My blog really took off when I started to blog as myself and not as other popular lifestyle bloggers.

From a coursework to a blog…

July 31, 2024 By in Blogging Tips, True Stories Tags: , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The world of blogging has changed massively in the last few years. It is so different from when I started blogging many years ago, but that should come as no surprise since I have changed as a person over the years. With life comes changes, and the ones who can adapt are the ones who carry on.

From a coursework to a blog…

Fashion and Style Police initially started as a coursework project. I was a student at London College of Style (LCS) in 2012 and was studying the styling course to break into the competitive personal styling industry and part of the course work was to create a fashion and style blog from scratch. I have always been interested in writing and setting up a blog was one of my goals, so naturally I was drawn to this part of the course. The course was mind-bending but enjoyable. I completed the course and stumbled briefly into the world of personal styling, but I quickly realised it was not for me, but blogging was, and I have been at it for almost 12 years now.

The many changes in the blogging world

This blog that started as an assignment quickly began a hobby/creative outlet for me, and now a side gig for me. I enjoy writing, and being able to run Fashion and Style Police all these years has been a dream come through. Having said that, the many changes happening to SEO over the years have changed the blogging experience for me. It has been off-putting, to say the least, but since the passion is still there, the show must go on. My love for blogging keeps me on this platform, against all odds, and so the blog started as coursework, then became a hobby and a creative outlet, then turned to a side gig, then a full-time job, and now back to a side gig.

I won’t change anything in the journey to becoming this version of myself and the blog. The experience has been one of many twists and turns, which all have brought me to where I am today, and I would be forever grateful.
