Amazing ideas and brilliant copywriting will only carry your blog so far. Determining your focus in blogging is the key.
We understand you are excited to share your passion and opinions to the world, but readers need to understand what to expect from your business so they will consistently follow you and come back to consume more of your interesting content. An error bloggers make is trying to cast too wide of a net when they are writing. Writing about why you do what you do and secondly what it is you do and then how you do it is a sure-fire way to keep an interested reader coming back for more.
Your readers have so many blogs competing for their attention, so it’s important to tie your visuals into your text to engage them. Always have a Call to Action (CTA) that’s clear so there is something more for them to do beyond just reading your content. Don’t forget, the whole point of writing a blog is to promote your business and generate buzz around you and your products and services.
