Struggling to "hit the
mark" with your blog?
INTRO
You're not alone!
INTRO
These 10 tips from Pro Bloggers
will help you create better
content, get more traffic and
start growing your blog!
www.dominiquej.com
#1: OPTIMIZE YOUR HEADLINES
Garrett Moon
@garrett_moon
After reaching a milestone of more than one
million headlines in our database, our team
started to wonder if we could find a way to
predict how likely a headline was to be
shared on social media.
To our surprise, we found a little secret.
Emotional headlines are in fact more likely to
be shared via social media.

#2: PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE!
Rebekah Radice
@rebekahradice
Writing your latest blog post and hitting publish is
just the beginning when it comes to growing your
subscription base.
If you truly want to gain the attention of your target
audience (and Google), then you will need to spend
time promoting your content in multiple locations.
Social media, blogger communities, video, guest
posts, blog comments, email marketing, syndication

#3: GET VISUAL!
Pauline Cabrera
@Twelveskip
Remember, visuals are more effective than
words. Most people respond better to visual
information.
Images make your posts easier to scan and
make reading a lot more enjoyable.
Make an effort to create relevant, memorable
and unique images on every blog post you
publish.

#4: MAKE YOUR CONTENT DIGESTIBLE
Kristina Cisnero
@K_Cisnero
Think of search engine robots as a five-year-old
learning to read for the first time. When writing
content that is search-engine-optimized, the content
is important, but so is the layout of the content.
Just like a five-year-old, pictures really grab the
search engine’s attention; adding images to your
content will help your content be easily digestible,
but you can make it even easier for the search
engines to digest your content by using descriptive
Alternate tags.

#5: SPEED UP YOUR SITE
Philip Kluedgen
@restacover
Improving your website speed can be a legit method
to get a lower bounce rate which in return can lead to
better conversions and higher rankings in Google.
You should aim to get any WordPress site to load
under three seconds to achieve the best results.
- http://bit.ly/1eHbEM3
www.dominiquej.com
How to do it
Optimize images | Install cache plugin |High hosting
#6: USE A CASUAL, FRIENDLY AND PERSONAL TONE
Perrin Carrell
@NichePursuits
In my experience, it absolutely does not matter what
you’re talking about. It does not matter what you’re
selling. It does not matter how much jargon your
audience uses.
Someone talking to you like a friend is always going
to be more engaging. I’d rather read a blog about
plumbing supplies written by a funny plumber who
comes across as genuine, friendly and trustworthy
than a plumbing supplies blog written by a faceless,
generic Fiverr writer. Wouldn’t you?
- http://bit.ly/1SIJa4b

#7: CREATE A STYLE GUIDE FOR YOUR BLOG/BRAND
Regina Anaejionu
@byReginaTV
In order to create and maintain a cohesive online and
in-person presence that engages readers and clients,
you may want to consider a style guide for your blog
or brand.
A style guide is a document (PDF/binder/digital file)
you create to keep you consistent on important blog
elements such as fonts, colors, and image styles, as
well as brand elements such as tone, document
styles, and more.
- http://bit.ly/1LUdxz9
www.dominiquej.com
#8: INFORM, INSPIRE AND INTERACT
Darren Rowse
@problogger
My experience is that a blog can really come
alive when you not only provide readers with
information, but also give them inspiration
and a place to interact with one another.
Inspiration leads people to search for
information
Inspiration and information leads people
to interaction
- http://bit.ly/1Ja7GIu
www.dominiquej.com
#9: CREATE A "START HERE" PAGE
Chloe West
@ChloeWest28
On this page are categories, images, links to
posts, and/or brief descriptions of popular
posts and how they can help out a new reader.
These pages give new readers to your blog an
idea of what they can expect from you and are a
great way to get readers to browse through and
read multiple posts in one sitting, leading to
new subscribers or followers–the ultimate goal,
right?
- http://bit.ly/1HCIB37
www.dominiquej.com
#10: BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY
Neil Patel
@neilpatel
A great blog begins with the content you create, but
to be successful a blog also needs a strong
community or audience. The members of your
community will follow your blog by giving you
permission to send them updates.
This is a powerful step in marketing. With traditional
advertising, you’re interrupting people and while this
can be effective it’s much easier to market to people
that opt-in to receive information from you.
- http://bit.ly/1EIysQn
www.dominiquej.com
BONUS: BE CONSISTENT
Dominique Jackson
@djthewriter
One of the most common things I see that
holds people back is stopping before their
blog has a chance to really take off.
Even if your blog is only getting 10 visitors a
month right now, keep posting great content,
be active on social media, and promote the
hell out of your blog. Hard work pays off,
trust me!
www.dominiquej.com
TAKE ACTION!
Now that you have the info, it's
time to make it happen. Start
putting these tips into action,
and watch your blog start to
grow!
Oh yea, and one more thing.....
YOU ROCK!
