📝 Do Your Research

Before you even put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), research the blog site where you’ll be posting. Familiarize yourself with their target audience, writing style, and tone. This information will help you determine the type of content that will best resonate with their readers. Additionally, don’t forget about SEO best practices, such as using relevant keywords. Doing adequate research beforehand can make all the difference in deciding whether or not your post stands out.

🎯 Create Engaging Hooks

It’s important to captivate the reader from the get-go, which is why it’s recommended that you start your post with a hook. Your readers have endless options when it comes to what they can read online, so make sure your hook is engaging and interesting. Depending on the blog, the hook can also vary. For example, a blog about travel may benefit from an anecdote about your own travels, whereas an educational site may start with a shocking statistic.

🌟 Make it Memorable

Engaging your reader is one thing, but making your post unforgettable is another. One tip for making your content memorable is to use storytelling techniques. People remember stories better than they remember facts and figures. Use examples, anecdotes, or even quotes to make your point. Additionally, consider including visuals, such as images or videos. Humans are visual beings, so adding these elements can help your post stand out. Just remember to make sure they are relevant to your content!

🔗 Linking to Supporting Content

Linking to supporting content can help your post be more thorough and helpful to readers. Not only does adding supporting links give your readers more information, but it also makes your post more credible as well. Make sure to link to reputable sources.

💻 Format Your Post

Format your post for easy readability. Utilize headings, subheadings, and bullet points to break up paragraphs and make it easier for your reader to skim. Consider using bold and italics for emphasis. Remember, the blog site you are posting on wants their readers to have a positive experience on their site, so if your article is not formatted well, it may not be accepted.
