* Shortly, covers every aspect of SEO – everything you need to know to create content that converts. 

You also NEED TO MAKE SURE that everything on your site is working properly – it’s crucial for the success of your business.

– HTTPS implementation issues

– Missing title tags
– Missing meta description
– Missing h1 tag
– Images with empty ‘alt’ tags

2. Always Think About Your Readers

This is VERY IMPORTANT!

Find out what your audience wants to know.  
You can ask them to leave comments on your recent post with their requests, or you can also create a survey.

SurveyMonkey is a global leader in survey software – you’ll be able to create surveys & then attach them on your site!

The next step is to search your competitor’s content regarding the subject you’ll be writing.   
ANALYZE ALL THE CONTENT IN DETAILS.

After analyzing, notice everything that they are missing. Include those missing things to your blog – that’s how you’ll always step further than your competitors.
It’s a win-win situation, guys! 🙂

3. Grab Their Attention In The Introduction

If you manage to write an awesome introduction in which you’ll tell your readers the main reason why they should stick with you till the end of the post – you most definitely managed to grab their attention & curiosity.

What you have to do is: Be personal, write a short introduction, short sentences, promise to give problem-solving informations& tell your readers that you have ”special surprises” for them throughout the post.
Using this strategy, you create a bridge from the headline (where you offer a promise) to the paragraph below that headline – which delivers the promise.

Your promises or surprises, as I want to call them, can be unique, valuable, customized content regarding the topic of the post that can be in a form of checklist, infographics, or e-books.

4. Include Adjectives In Your Headlines

Your Headlines are also one of the main reasons why the readers would engage with your content.
They won’t read the content if the headlines don’t promise to solve their problems through the paragraphs that follow them.
PS – Headlines are also very important for SEO. Include one or two adjectives in your headlines, trust me it makes a huge difference.

5. Linking Opportunities

Throughout the post, you must include links from previous related post, landing pages as well as backlinks.
This is crucial for GOOGLE SEO – it’s a ranking factor that will determine on which page on Google your post will be ranked when people are going to search the topic you covered.

6. Add Visuals - Images, Videos

One picture thousands words!
The visual information manages to capture the attention of the readers far more than the written one. Articles with images & other visuals get 94% more views than the other ones.
Include images, illustrations, gifs or videos, customized to the theme of your site.

7. Write Like You Talk

Nowadays, there are tons of blogs online putting out content every single day.
People are overwhelmed with informations.

What they want & appreciate is a blogger sharing his/her most honest thoughts and research.  

This is fundamental when it comes to building a loyal relationship with your readers.
In the world of the internet, honesty & transparency are the two most important things everyone strives for.
No matter what kind of content you’re putting out – you need to write like you talk!

Just picture yourself having a face-to-face conversation with your readers. That’s all that you got to do in order to get started properly 🙂

Use everyday language, anyhow never be rude or disrespectful.

8. Make Your Blogs Scannable

No matter how great your content is, it’s a fact that people don’t read all the content. Instead, they are ”scanning” the post looking for particular information.

How to make your blog post scannable?

1. Use Subheadings - that's how your readers will see the main topics you will cover throughout the post

2. Write short paragraphs that are much easier to read

3. Write shorter sentences to improve the readability score

4. Implement bullet points - use a numbered list

9. Include A Call To Action

A Call to Action is leading magnet for conversions. Blog postsare a unique piece of content since they give you an amazing opportunity to further educate your readers.

How to Include Call to Actions?

1. Convince them to Sign Up to your email list

2. Finish your post with a question so they leave a comment below

3. Inspire them to share your content on social media

4. Redirect them to another post - similar to the one they are reading

5. Offer them a link to a product & and tell them how it will solve their problem

As I said, including a few calls to action are super important. Anyway, make sure you don’t confuse your readers with too many calls to action that don’t really make sense.

10 - Include Featured Images

We already mentioned how important visuals are to create the perfect blog post.
