Almost every content writing guru will tell you that it’s all about keeping your readers interested. Since there are so many blogs that offer competitive content, it becomes important for writers to learn how to keep readers coming back for more.
So here are a few content writing tips that can help you do just that:
#1: Know your stuff
Boring your readers to death or not making sense is probably the first thing that you need to avoid as this will only drive them away from your blog. Instead, if you can not only entertain them but provide them with answers that they were looking for, you can be sure that they will come back.
#2: Be an engaging storyteller
People love stories. Again, don’t make this a boring affair. Make it compelling, suspenseful and creative. This should be apparent in the words that you use. Use words that are unique and not clichéd. Imagine yourself to be in a position where you are telling a story to a child with all the frills and thrills.
#3: A Killer Headline & an interesting first paragraph
These two elements are probably the most important aspects of any good content writing piece. Most readers will be either very interested or not at all when reading your headline. After that, it’s the introductory paragraph that will decide whether they’re going to read the entire blog or article.
#4: Use the “To be Continued†tag, if necessary
Using this tag makes your readers come back for more. This is just one of those tricks that will help keep the viewership to your blog. It can be likened to the episodes of a sitcom where this phrase is used most commonly.
