With numerous blogs out there, you’ve only got a little amount of time (just seconds) to persuade a first-time visitor that your website is worth coming back to.

How do you do that? With a fantastic blog! And here are a few ways to spice up your blog.

Have consideration for the design of your blog

While your online content will eventually be what keeps your visitors coming back to your website, its design is also significant. Folks will quickly judge whether your website is professional, important, and on-brand for them by what they perceive.

And as we said previously, if they don’t like what they see they’ll rapidly move on.

Build expectancy

Think about the type of content you’ve subscribed to or follow on social media platforms. Can you remember why you subscribed to begin with? Chances are it’s because they were giving you great informational content, and you didn’t want to jeopardize missing out on any of it.

A great way to shape this sense of expectancy on your blog is to write a sequence of posts that cover a specific topic. And at the end of each one, clarify what you’ll be covering in the next blog. There’s a decent chance your visitors will come back and/or subscribe to sidestep missing on what you’ll be going over next.

Provide ways for folks to subscribe, follow and join

You may think this is so evident it isn’t even worth stating. But in spite of there being so many choices available – email, RSS feeds, YouTube, social media, and so on – you’d be amazed how many websites don’t provide an easy way for their visitors to stay in touch.

You should begin by working on which choice works best. We favor email simply because it gives us comprehensive control. You only need to look at what’s trendy with Facebook at the moment to see what can happen when you rely on a digital platform you can’t control.

Ask folks to subscribe to your website

One of the greatest places to ask for your visitors to subscribe is when they’re reading your blog. It’s the equivalent of nonchalantly bringing up during a discussion, and chances are folks will be more than willing to come to an agreement – especially if you’ve just delivered them with useful content.
