Having high quality content that reaches the desired audience is one of the main goals of any blogger out there. In this article, we look at some of the most effective ways to get the best results with your blog posts.
Having a documented content strategy keeps your content creation on track. A strategy helps you plan what you need to create, visualize what you already have and know how to use your content to its fullest potential. A strategy also helps you schedule your content creation, publication and shares on the social media. A strategy must have goals like a desired percentage increase in traffic.
Social media networks provides a better way to reach a wider audience for your content. Find the right time and days when your audience are most active and post your content during those times. Since the life time of content on social media is very short, it is advisable to share content multiple times for a greater audience reach.
Images have an incredible influence on engagement levels. Create content that is visual by nature, such as infographics and slide shares. Include visual graphics in your blog posts to enhance your content. I personally use Canva to create my blog posts images. Ensure you have the right sizes of images that can easily be shared on the social media.

Thanks for your tips. I'm new to blogging, but agree with your tip to have a "call to action." I can't say that every post I've written has a call to action, but I definetly incorporate it where possible. :-) Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing. I feel like with every new post I do, I learn more. But it's so hard to figure out what to do as most people use word press and I use Blogger, as I am only starting out.
I haven't used Blogger before, but I think, it is possible to transfer to WordPress. There are advantages of using WordPress like you get to interact with many fellow WordPress bloggers who you can learn from.
Great tips for getting the most out of the effort and time put into a blog post. I think I have recognized lately that making sure that you are as niche specific as possible can help you to become an authority on your subject and you can become to go-to person for your readers to keep coming back to for information.
