Headline is one of the powerful tools to transform your blog and make it stand out from the crowd. Work on your headline and watch your page view grow over time.

#Tip 2: Make Your Blog Design Look Professional
“First impression lasts longer…” regardless whether your blog is for personal use or commercial use, put a nice design on it… in the real ,sense your website is like a young lady the more ‘charming’ it appears the more people it will attract… you must do away with poor design, interface and layout, if you are not that vast in web design you can hire experts to handle the job for you.

#Tip 3: Explore the ‘mighty’ power of multimedia
Humans are visual beings. We tend to give attention to nice-looking pictures rather than ordinary words. Want to take your blog to the next level? Start using Infographic, graph, screenshot, photograph, etc on your subsequent blog posts… multimedia when used properly helps in boosting user engagement and improve bounce rate.
#Tip 4: Make content easy-to-scan.
We are in the era where everyone wants to get things done as fast as possible, once readers see that an article is not well arranged or appears tiny, they are easily turned off and if care is not taken you may lose them forever to your competitors. Use short paragraphs and use the text formatting tools where necessary.

Human beings are rationale- we think very well before taking any action, the sole aim of anyone searching the internet is not to be wasting megabyte on irrelevancies but to find relevant contents that could solve his/her current problem, to really make a difference in the blogging world, publishing useful contents on your website is a must. One of the best ways to keep people coming back to your site is to be offering valuable content, make your contents unique & useful and watch your blog grow from zero to hero in few years time…
