Create blog posts that keep readers coming for more.
The past two days have been exciting.
It came out of nowhere.
The amount of likes and comments on my posts is more than I’ve ever received in a month.
Many people say how much my posts help them and how good of a writer I am.
But it wasn’t always this way.
It took me a year of consistent writing to get to this level.
And I’ve noticed three things that constantly improve my blog post quality.
I want to share them with you so you can improve your blog post quality, too.
So, if you’re ready, let’s dive in.
Trick #1: Write specific and good headlines
If you want your blog post quality to be good, make your headlines specific.
If you include everyone in your headline, no one will click on it.
Make your headline about a specific pain point of a group. That way, that group of people will always click on your post.
“The power of a specific headline lies in its ability to address a reader’s problem or desire directly.” — Seth Godin
For a long time, my post quality was poor.
And it was because I wanted everyone to feel included when I wrote my headlines.
Because of this, no one clicked on my blog posts or engaged with it.
But when I changed this, my blog post quality improved.
This is how I do it:
- I make my headlines about a specific group, like writers or Christians.
- I then put their pain point in it and change it into a positive outcome.
- For example, for writers who want more views, my headline is Three simple ways to boost your blog post views.
Trick #2: Make it concise
Your posts should be concise and straight to the point.
Readers want it short, simple and sweet.
Make it easy to understand and valuable.
And always deliver on your title.

- I also add subheadings and bullet points to help my readers quickly read through.
Trick #3: Add whitespace, subheadings and pictures
People hate reading boring posts.
Stop adding blocks of text.
Leave lots of whitespace in your posts, and add pictures and subheadings.
Make your posts beautiful.
