Fresh & Liveable Content
In order to grab attention to your content, you must produce a fresh & liveable content means that you have to provide something which is relevant to the current trend or season. For example you are running a health blog and there is currently a newly discovered disease being aired during the prime time. Don’t wait. Use the opportunity and make a research about the particular subject. Then write your review based on your research and your personal opinion. And then bring visitors to your content through social bookmarking, social networking, blog comments and other methods.
The key is your content. Once you got your content done, how you want to drag the visitors to your content is up to you as long as you have a fresh and liveable content to be mentioned.
Knocking Others’ Doors
In order to grab attention from others, never stand still in your own place – your own blog. Spare your time to visit other blogs and platforms. Making frequent visits to popular and relevant blogs and social networking groups is a good idea for you to implement.
Don’t just visit and be a silent reader. Comment, comment and comment. Leave good and positive comment and be a good commenter. Then take the next step to be a guest writer for other websites and blogs. Knock their doors and win your audiences’ hearts!
