If you have a website, it is advisable to provide them with new content on a regular basis.
This lets you see to the visitor that you are actively engaged, and your position in Google is also very good. Google likes new, fresh content. The more unique content you have on your website, the better Google will rate your website.
A good way to provide your website with new content is by blogging.You can easily start a blog by installing WordPress on your website.
But what should you watch out for writing a good blog post ? In this article you will find some useful tips to write a good blog post within a short period of time.
# 1: BE VALUABLE
You can write a blog post, but if nobody is upset, it's the time of your time. It may sound a bit of cliché, but many people forget to offer really good content that the visitor is up to. Some people think it's enough to write a simple message occasionally, but that's not the case.
If you really want to captivate visitors, come up with content that makes the visitor feel really helpful. The visitor will then be more likely to visit your website again.
Show that you are a real authority. You know exactly what you're talking about. If people are looking for information about the subject where your website is about, they should be with you. So give good, complete information.
If the free information on your website is already good, how well should the paid information be, or not?)?
# 2: MAKE BLOG POSTS SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY
Posting a blog post is fun, but if nobody reads your blog post, that's of course not very convenient and sinful of your time. You must therefore ensure that your blog post is found in Google . By making your blog post friendly , you can get a lot of free visitors. These visitors then search for a particular keyword and come to your website.
Many people forget how important it is to optimize their blog post for Google, and that's a pity because they miss a crowd of free visitors!
Below are some tips to optimize your blog post for Google:
- Do not copy content from other websites
- Make good use of the META tags ( title , description and alt tags )
- Choose a good, short and clear URL for the blog post
- Do not use the keyword in the text too much
- Write valuable content (also Google will see if your blog post is informative)
- Link (if possible) to other articles on your website ( internal links )
- Make important words bold
- Share your blog post on social media (make sure there's an interaction)

Tip: Provide the images on your website of so-called META tags. This allows you to tell Google where the images are on your website. Read more about scoring with Google Images .
# 3: PROVIDE A CLEAR, CLEAR LAYOUT
The visitor must immediately know where he or she is. Therefore, it should be clear to the visitor whether the answer to his or her question can be found in this blog post.
On the Internet, people often do not read a whole article. They 'scan' the text, so as to make a conclusion. They see if there is enough interesting information and are actually more looking for keywords. It is therefore important to arrange your article so that it is easy for the visitor to scan
If the visitor immediately sees text without any restraint (white rules), then the visitor will probably be quick to quit and leave your website. This is of course the target group and the type of website, but in most cases this is the case.
Something that can help you make your blog post clear is to use H1 and H2 headers (hyperlinks, or heading tags ). For example, the visitor knows what a part of the text is about.
Try to make the text as easy as possible. This can be done by using many white rules, and not writing full paragraphs. In addition, it is wise to use pictures occasionally to make the text 'more fun'.
# 4: USE IMAGES, MOVIES AND AUDIO FILES
It is becoming increasingly important to create your blog posts with 'rich content'. I mean images, videos and audio files.
The visitor always adds value to articles including, for example, a YouTube video, or an infographic that gives some clarity about the subject.
Do not just create an article containing text, but also add pictures, videos and audio files. Try to add as many media as possible so that your article is as complete as possible.
What I often do is write an article about a particular subject, and then add a YouTube video later , explaining something further. That's a nice addition to the article. In addition, my video can also be found on YouTube, so people get to my website.
# 5: FIND THE INTERACTION!
Nowadays, it is increasingly important to look up the interaction. Of course, you can do this by sharing your article on, for example, Facebook and Twitter, but you can also do this by encouraging people to respond to your article.
Normally, comments on articles are very relevant to the subject, and so that's good for Google. In addition, visitors can also get interesting information from the comments. For example, if a visitor has a question about the subject, you can answer it. Other visitors who are also with that question can then read the answer to the question on your website.
You can encourage visitors to respond by simply asking to respond. At the end of your blog post, write that you like to receive responses. In addition, you can say that if people still have any questions, please answer them.
You will see that people will respond much faster if you simply show that you like to receive responses!
You can easily integrate social media into your WordPress website. This allows visitors to share your articles easily and quickly without having to leave your website for that.
