Here are four simple tips that you can follow to make your articles more interactive. The reason why you would want that for your content is so that your audience will have the opportunity to spend more time on your articles and motivate them to engage more with you and your articles.

  1. Add Polls— You can include links, polls, etc. where ever possible to interact with your readers. Ask them questions on what they want to see next from you or you can even urge them to post comments and personally reply to as many as possible.
  2. Make Easy-To-Digest Content — People are generally busy, so are your readers. Especially, if your niche is life-hacks, lifestyle, etc. then those are really smart people you are writing to. Try to make it short and informative. I am not saying don’t hook them to your content. I am just saying be direct and get straight to the point.
  3. Connect on Social Media — Be it social media or email subscriptions. Ask them to follow you on your Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, etc. so they can connect with you on a personal level. Show them your lifestyle, what you do in the day, create v-logs, etc. and connect with your audience on a deeper level.
