1. A Killer Post Title: The post title is the first thing people see and read in the post, so it has to be powerful enough to grab their attention.
Example:
The posts that have numbers in the title do best, such as
"10 Quick Tips To Grow Your Blog’s Subscribers",
"7 Great Tips to Help Promote Your Jewelry Business on Pinterest" or
"5 Ways To Make a Wedding Unique".
Posts that feature a checklist also tend to do well.
Build a "top ten" list post for another interesting angle.
2. Strategic Keywords: Your blog post and the post title need to contain keywords specific to that post’s overall message. If you strategically use keywords every time you publish, you have a new opportunity to have each post rank well in search engines!
Example:
Use Google Trends to find the hottest search trends.
Try Google Keyword Planner to help identify keywords you should be using and see traffic estimates based on those proposed keywords.
3. A Clear and Concise Point: Make sure your blog post is specific to one topic. It may contain many points and tips, but in general, one message should be conveyed in each blog post.
