Blogging Tips

Deliver Value to Readers – Include useful, relevant and valuable information in your business blogs.  Highlight the pain points of your audience and solve their problems.

Make It Easy to Read – Most readers will skim content so add more headings, sub-headings and bullet points to their benefit.

Experiment with Different Formats – Try different formats such as infographics, videos, webinars, interviews, podcasts, etc. and scrutinize which format your audience loves to consume.

Have Your Own Voice – Have a unique perspective on different topics and combine that with your own tone for creating a winning business blog.

Go Light on Brand Promotion – Do not go overboard with brand promotions on your business blog.  Focus on educating the readers instead.

Harness the Power of Storytelling – Everyone loves a good story.  Ask your satisfied customers to share theirs.

Edit and Proofread before Publishing – Check your write up for spelling and grammatical mistakes.  Edit your blog content and make it better before publishing.

Promote Your Blogs – Share your blogs on multiple social media channels and other marketing mediums to attract more traffic to your business blog.

Respond to Customer Feedback – Ask your reads to leave feedback on your blog.  Respond to comments and handle negative criticism delicately.

Be Patient – Don’t expect your business blog to become popular overnight.  Exercise patience and perseverance.
