5 ways to improve blog engagement

It is a lot easier to get eyeballs on your blog than it is to get blog engagement. Many blog readers land on a particular page on your blog and bounce after reading the posts on that page. To increase your blog engagement you will have to encourage those blog readers to stay a little longer on your blog and explore other content.

If you are struggling with engaging with your blog readers and you are wondering how to improve this, you have landed on the right post. Here are 5 ways to improve blog engagement –

Create interesting content

To be a successful content creator, you need to create content that would interest your readers and keep them on your blog for longer. One way of doing this is by creating different types of content in your niche and paying attention to the most popular posts. Once you realise the sort of content your blog readers seem to like, you can create more of them. Creating interesting content in your niche is easy once you keep your eyes on your stats and continue to publish blog posts that engage your readers.

Add internal links

This is a tip I have been doing for years and it really does the job of improving blog engagement. If you write or refer to something you have done in the past, make sure to add an internal link so your blog readers can find the post. Adding internal links improves blog visibility and does wonders for SEO, so ensure you keep adding those relevant internal links.

Ask your readers to engage with your content

If you need something, just ask. It is a great idea to ask your blog readers to engage with your content by liking, commenting, and sharing. Adding this request in the last sentence of your blog sentence would help remind your readers to engage with the content.

Add clickable social media options

Having your blog posts shared on social media platforms is a big deal. Millions of people use social media every day, so if you want to attract more eyeballs to your content, having them shared on social media should be a goal. Having clickable social media options would improve blog engagement as blog readers will find it very easy to share your blog posts.

Engage with your readers

If you want to improve your blog engagement, you should encourage your blog readers to engage by replying to their comments and engaging with them on social media. Many bloggers want to see their readers engaging with their content but they want to engage with their readers. If you want to see your blog engagement numbers increase, you should take the time to engage with your readers.

How to come up with great blog post ideas

I have been blogging steadily for almost ten years now and I am glad to say I never run out of ideas. Writing is my passion, and my other jobs involve writing and editing, so this is my comfort zone. Ideas flow naturally for me which is why Fashion and Style Police stays updated with new blog posts. To have a successful blog, you have to be able to come up with regular content that stands out from the noise online. It has to be unique and magnetic to attract as many readers as possible.

Write down your ideas

Many of my ideas come to me when I am up and about living life. This is why it is super important to write down your ideas so you can refer to them when it is time to write your first draft. Relying on your memory can be risky; it’s best to jot down a few bullet points to aid your memory.

Ask your readers

You can always ask your audience what sort of blog posts they would want to read on your blog. I have done this in the past before and the answers are always interesting. If you are struggling with writer’s block, asking your readers what sort of blogs they would want to read could get things moving again.

Use targeted searches on the web

I do this a lot. Many times I have an idea but I am not sure of the right title to use or the best keywords to match the posts and this is where targeted searches come in handy. You could also use targeted searches on Google to find blog post ideas. Just type in the keywords or category you are interested in writing about and let the big wide web guide you.

Find trending topics

This could be seen by many as a lazy way out but it works especially if you are hoping to go viral. Writing about trending topics is one of the fastest ways to gain more visibility on your blog. You can find trending topics via search engines in the news section or on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.

Share your story/view

Your blog is supposed to be personal so make use of your platform and share your story or opinion. Sharing product reviews is a great way to share your thoughts on a product. Product review posts are usually well received on search engines since they are very personal and useful. Sharing experiences is another way to have great content. There is no one else on the planet living your life but yourself so make the most of your uniqueness and blog about it.

I hope you find these ideas useful. It can be tricky to always have content ready on your blog but if you keep at it. Having said that, it gets easier. Do you have a blog? How do you come up with great blog post ideas?

How to Stay Original as a Blogger

If you are wondering how best to go about this then you are in luck, you are on the right blog, keep reading…

How to Stay Original as a Blogger

Blogging is all about being original. The best blogs are original and they tend to be around much longer. If you are wondering how to stay original as a blogger, here are three ways that can help you do just that –

Create blog categories you can write endlessly about

A good blog has great content so it is important to ensure you can create regular content for your blog categories. If fashion, beauty, and lifestyle are your preferred niches, it is a great idea to stick to those. You don’t want to create a category for book and movie reviews if you hardly watch TV or read a book. Also, it makes sense to create blog categories in niches you are passionate about. I for one love reading. I read a new book every week but I am not into writing book reviews.

Stick to your writing voice

Don’t try to write like anyone else. Develop your writing voice and stick to it. That way you will attract those who enjoy reading your posts and you stay original. The last thing any new blogger should want is for their blog to read like every other blog. That is the fastest way to get buried in the blogging world.

Share your opinion

I enjoy following bloggers who share their perspectives on things. It is always interesting to read the opinions of others in some matters. There is nothing as boring as a blog with no stance. If you want to stay original in the blogging industry, you should ensure you share your opinions in areas you blog about as regularly as you can.
