BLOG 101: F*%K! Now I have your attention, Let's Make Your Blogpost Interesting!

Well, I would admit that the title for this post is so lame, but it is a tutorial and I don't want you to be mislead into a different topic which would waste your time and electricity. Blogposts are subjected to a lot of possible things you can do to keep your readers glued to what you have posted. However this is where a lot of violations are made just for the sake to getting people's attention to their sites. This can be effective, but will leave a negative impact on readers.

Your website is like a canvas which you can paint the different colors that will tell stories, emotions, and attitude. There are a lot of tools for the job but remember to use "the right tools for the right job". Improvisation could actually happen but should never be a permanent habit.


People can get hooked with your article from the moment that they will read your sentence. But it is not always starting with a bang that can make the readers interested, sometimes you need to take the audience into a short literary journey that they will leave at least an impact to their memories about the topic you are discussing. Scattering keywords of interest is one way to at least simulate their minds so they would not be bored. 

yes, me gusta!
Most of us are visual learners and everyone loves to read short interesting articles with pictures and video to support their post. One can actually make use of the vast collection found in the internet, but with many similar things on the net would make readers say, "Hey I already saw that!" 

However, not all of us would appreciate a blog post that is filled will too many photos or videos, take into consideration your market of readers that will be the basis of your format of post. You can start with the basic combination of written + photo + video (if applicable) each as we would keep it concise and simple. But if there is a need to have more useful content, you can add more of these elements. 

purrr..fect!
Placing captions and using internet memes is also another creative approach as they make readers relate to the post, but also inject your sense of humor that gives the comic relief. However remember the that you use clean humor which everyone can enjoy and no one will be offended.

Well you could include cat photos, everyone love cats.
