Think About Photos
All blogs need photographs, this is non-negotiable these days. Without them, you just won’t reach the readership required to monetize your site. There are two options when it comes to images – you can take them yourself or look for a stock photo source. If you decide to take them yourself, you need to make sure that your camera is good enough, and that you know exactly how to edit the images in software before you upload them. This ensures that they look as professional as possible. If you don’t have fancy camera equipment, you can just look for stock images. They save all the hassle of you pretending to be a photographer!
Use A Template
The chances are that you’re probably not so hot with HTML and CSS. Unless you are whip smart with these forms of code, you won’t be able to make a nice looking site. But don’t worry; there is a way around this! You can simply use blog templates offered by the likes of WordPress and Squarespace. These templates make it ever so easy to arrange your blogs page and add custom links and other navigational tools.
Watch Your Spelling
Misspelled words and poor grammar can be an instant turnoff for some readers. So, it is crucial that you reread your blog posts to ensure that there are absolutely no typos in them. Otherwise, you might lose quite a bit of your audience. If you struggle with writing, you might want to think about hiring a content writer to help with some of your blog posts. At least then you know that there aren’t going to be any pesky mistakes in the content!
Add Some Video
Interactive blogs are great at catching people’s attention and keeping them on your blog. This will help to keep the website’s bounce rate down, which will help to improve your SEO too! And one of the best forms of media for your website is video. You should look through YouTube to see if there are any that suit your blog that can be added to your blog posts. But, better yet, why not have a go at making your own YouTube videos for your blog?
Making a beautiful blog isn’t too difficult once you know how. And when you do make your site all glamorous and attractive, you will find that your audience numbers start to steadily grow. That’s because no one can resist such a beautiful website!
