Many people that have blogs have perhaps heard of "sticky blogs" – this is a concept you should know about. People come back to these blogs over and over – this is why they are sticky. Several blogs are like this, all over the Internet. You have a lot of control over your blog, and you can do the same for yours. Once you know how to do it (which is the hard part) it is easy to make a blog like this with very little effort. Think in terms of engaging your readers, and offer them what you know they will want to read about. It is our opinion that many marketers fail to understand this, a simple but crucial market research component of their success.
So once you have a blog, you need to maintain it, and also market it in many different ways. For starters, only interact with the best blog directories you are able to locate. Do not use only niche specific blogs. In fact, having a variety of blogs that you utilize is what you want to find. The higher the quality of the directory, the more targeted traffic you will receive. So just like with article marketing, or how it was in the old days, you do not need to list your blog in a thousand directories – unless you really want to. This type of marketing, however, is very extreme and may provide diminished returns.
Bullet points are widely used, both in online and offline content. Although they are certainly effective for discussing the advantages of an item you’re trying to sell, they can be used in many other ways as well. When you think about it, almost any type of content can employ bullet points. It’s a well known fact that people enjoy articles that use lists and bullet points, whether they know it or not.
Bullet points serve to change things in the copy and add more white space which helps the eyes. Bullet points allow readers to quickly scan an article before deciding whether or not they want to read the whole thing.
You can make any written content more interesting by adding graphics. People will notice your graphic before they even read anything, and it can help to pique their interest. You shouldn’t overdo it with graphics, though, as too many will be distracting. It can be helpful to include graphics in some of your articles or posts -perhaps a quarter to half of the time.
You don’t want to use irrelevant images just to grab people’s attention -they should always be relevant. Be sure to include a little caption or headline under the image that says something relevant, too. There are millions of sticky blogs on the Internet. This fact alone should give you the confidence to make one of your own. If your blog has great information, that will stimulate the minds of your readers, you can be guaranteed of repeat visitors each and every week. All of this is not as hard to do as you may be thinking. Take what you have just read and implemented it to get started.
