Looking for ideas to boost your blog post social shares?
An interesting and share-worthy blog post contains several important focus areas.
- A Stand-out HEADLINE – According to Salesforce Canada “your traffic can vary by as much as 500% based on your headline. There’s a science to writing the title of your post, and ignoring best practices will ensure your post gets largely ignored.”
- A Quick, Eye-catching Introduction – Why should I read this?
- Subheads – Use H2 paragraph subheads so readers and search engines can scan your text easily.
- Main Copy – Break up your main copy with bullets, subheads, visuals, and pull quotes.
- Interesting and Relevant Photos – People remember photos 6 times easier than text and are great for social sharing.
- Calls to Action – include at least one simple call-to-action (CTA) somewhere in your post, suggesting what people can do next.
- Social Sharing Buttons – Make it easy for visitors to share your post.
- Relevancy—making sure the post is relevant from top to bottom
