How To Be A Good Blogger – 6 Things You Need To Know!

As an experienced blogger, I often come across this question –
“What Makes a Good Blogger’.
So, I thought about writing this one for all those who have just started and have the same in mind…
… It is not for you if you have already earned a credibility as a blogger for years.

6 Steps To Becoming a Good Blogger

I admit that the following tips may sound usual to many of you.
However, how many of us actually take care of them when we follow our blogging schedule.
You may consider this as a reminder of key points required to maintain a credible blog.

1. Write Briefly

The attention span of people on web is too short.
With so much flashing around and ads hovering in front of eyes, a few of them take out real time to read long and lengthy pieces of content.
The fact is that many of us hardly like to spend time scrolling…
… and this is the reason your whole story should be put across in no more than 600 words.
You may work on shorter ones with 400 or 300 words if you have supporting videos or photos.
Longer than 600 is acceptable if it is really an interesting story that you are sure people will stick to.
In this post, Neil Patel from QuickSprout, explained how content length affects rankings and conversions.

2. Use Catchy Titles

Use humorous titles or ask a question.
Your aim should be to entice people to click on your title to read.
Try using the type of headlines you love exploring.
This will take you much closer to the psyche of the reader in your niche.
