TOP PSYCHOLOGICAL WAYS TO ENGAGE YOUR BLOG CONTENT

It could be a sudden nudge by saying ''STOP'' or ''you can leave'', but for the most part you should be there to help and educate your readers. take a look at the top ways to start engaging your readers;

#1 CREATE ORIGINAL CONTENT

As mentioned, original content goes a long way with google and your visitors. copy other people's content will result in a punishment from google, which can crush your button line
remember when you used to find azine articles in top of google ranks? you don't see them anymore, and it's no accident they were one of the hardest hit by google's algorithm update, which aimed to prevent bad content from ranking highly
mahalo was a content farm that updated everyday with new content, but it wasn't original content. google punished them for it, and that result in malaho needing to pivot their business
but let's take this a little further. original also means originality. your ideas should be original!!! rehashing the same concepts or other posts over and over again is not original. if your content is played out, no body will link to it- and that defeats the purpose of write content in the first place. here's the train of though that most website owner have {thinking that gets there in trouble}
''so it say here that we need to create a lot of content...ok, well how can we do this as easily and cheaply as possible''?
''can we collect article from around the web and just get permission to re-post them?
''can we outsource cheap, near slave labor priced, content writes to write filler content''?
''can we make a bot to scrape content and recombine it into some form of gibberish that at least the search engines will read''?
stop thinking this way!!!
remember these two rules in life
1} you get what you pay for
2}if you don't have anything useful to say, than don't say it at all
these two simple points will keep you on the path of making quality content that will yield returns for years to come. they can also help in other aspects of your life

#2 WRITING EFFECTIVE HEADLINES

The headlines to the articles you write are crucial... you have less than 10 seconds to attract the user's attention
your headline is around ''90 percent of the reason any one will read your blog content post'' so make sure your tittle is relevant to the content, and will interest the reader enough to full them in immediately, while clearly explaining the content
TIPS; placing your keyword phrase within your headline is a strong seo tactic.
headlines can be intriguing,inspiring, or controversial. they can make a bold claim or promise, arouse curiosity, or deliver important news. however they are written, what really matters is what your visitors do next
if they turn and run, your headline has failed. but if they remain on your site to get more information, your headline is a success

#3 IMAGES FOR YOUR CONTENT

We humans are of a visual nature, having eye-catching images that are relevant to the content that you are writing about will grab the reader's attention you can use google.com search engine to find or download image with this free website list in this link images that is free of copyright infringement

#4 STAY ON TOPIC AND GET TO THE POINT

It is easy to begin writing off topic, drifting on to a subject that is unrelated to the message you are trying convey, ''even if your topic is worthy of a 500 page book, as a writer for the web, you need to keep it short and to the point''
you need to keep in mind that you are writing as a public figure or a business owner, not writing to your personal blog!!! there is nothing wrong with adding some personality to your writing, but your main focus should be the message you are trying to send to your readers. while the objective of your website may be to make sales, a website visitors is usually searching for information
''if you provide content that is interesting and educational to the reader, your visitor will spend more time on your site, increasing the chances for them to click on the area that generates income

#5 BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ANSWERS

What is the ultimate purpose of a google search engine? most people would be correct in saying ''to deliver sets of answer'' google is great at this. type a query into google and you'll be presented with links, picture, videos
when people use a search engine, what they ultimately want is an answer, and it's the search engine's job to deliver that answer.
it's the same when people are reading a blog post, viewing an info-graphic or watching a video- they want an answer so they can gain knowledge. an additional tip here is; people don't just want answers, they want answers fast. so make your content easy to scan so people can pick up the juicy, important bits quickly
read any title and subtitle of a non-fiction book or article. ultimately, what it leaves the reader with is a question or a sense of curiosity. it is then the author's job to deliver answers and have supporting information

#6 GIVE PREVIEW OF THE CORE MESSAGE

Many influences do this- and i know this, it's actually a strategy to make your readers mentally prepared that something amazing is right there and they are about to witness this, the preview tell itself
you give the hint that what's GOING TO HAPPEN, why they should stick to you, and what could happen if they keep on reading the article. when your purpose is to engage the audience, and you're confident that your content is surely going to help the readers, then go ahead
the readers feel great when they get the feeling that you're going to reveal a secret or share a great tips with them

#7 ADDING THE EXAMPLES IN THE CONTENT

When you shape up your views with simplicity, authenticity, and clarity, it because easier for the audience to understand
and when you add examples in your content, not only does it help the readers to understand the concept, but it also clarifies the essence of the message, many top bloggers and influencers use the examples to educate their audience
there are three benefit of giving examples in your content;
1}-it gives you leverage to explain the topic
2)-it help in building the trust
3)-it authenticates your point of view
all these benefits assist you to get closer to the audience you're interacting with, when your readers understand your point of view with the help of examples you're using, the chances are that they would go one step ahead to follow you. use the variety of example in your blog post.don't make yourself trapped under the uncertain question like;
1} should i link to others while quoting them in the examples?
2} should i just use the links or screenshots to add examples?
3} can i add examples of my own blog?
4} how many examples should i add?
if you ever thought that way then please give yourself some space!!!
just imagine
you want attention, you want social reach, and you want more social sharing. what if a brand you mentioned in your content or the influence you've linked to re-shares your content on facebook, twitter, or linkedin?
it might be a dream come true for you !!! trust me, it happens. are you clear on this? good keep reading....

#8 TELL A STORY

Facts tell, stories sell, it is true that stories sell the reader. for many, stories will avoid and confusion and create curiosity within your content by expressing your message in simple terms that people may already be familiar with. telling a story about your experiences with a product or service can create ownership and visually stimulate the reader in the present moment. they will allow you to make a personal connection with your reader when they are on your site, and can also differentiate you from your competition

#9 ASK QUESTIONS

Questions will automatically stimulate the brain to think about an answer, whether it's done internally or out loud, asking a question in a blog's article or video will encourage the reader to want to read the content or watch the video and give contributor with an answer

#10 REPEAT YOURSELF

You may have heard it before..''tell them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them''.......repetition enhances recall
this will also the skimmer or impatient reader to grasp what they are in for, hopefully absorb the upcoming information, and then have a closing statement reinforcing what they've read, giving the reader the best chances for retention. to start your blog post off right, be sure to have your headline and the first few sentences of your article consist of vital information that will magnetize your reader to crave more. this will prepare the person with information about what is to follow
at this point is the time to engage your reader with the information they have anticipated.
then finally, follow through your closing statement, give practical application or example of what you told them.

#11 USE SCREENSHOTS TO ATTRACT THE READERS

Speaking of readers engagement, screenshots actually help me to attract the readers. i always collect and gather screenshot. I've noticed that people love my screenshot work. why wouldn't they?
it helps them to understand the point. you might want to do the same on your blog website. you don't want to make readers off the hook
in order to avoid that, you have to use every possible strategy to engage them.

if you have a blog or content site, you need to update it regularly with great content. many of the best content sites are regularly updated.
how often should your blog or site be updated? that's up to you. everyone has different resources and priorities. you should make an effort to update at least twice a week. it is a content site you're building, after all

A FEW FINAL POINTS ABOUT WRITING CONTENT;

Don't treat a blog post or any other sort of content site lightly. it's difficult, and good ones take time to research and write, proper title, grammar, and those organization are a must. when you re-read your post, ask yourself
a} are there any words i can take out?
b} have i given the readers the best information i possibly can
c}is it complete?
