Pro Techniques for Making Fascinating Content

Have you ever moved on from an article without finishing it? - Yes, you definitely have.

There are literally billions of articles out there and there’s no way you can read them all. You can’t even finish the wholeparagraph let alone like it.

Yes, sometimes articles can be annoying as hell and that’s why it’s legit not to like every type, tone, and style of writing.

To make every article audience-attracting and easy-to-read, content writers frequently adapt to newer styles and tones. But sometimes, these are not enough to keep the readers engaged.

Besides adapting newer styles, sometimes they need to add few sprinkles of information and images to keep readers interested in the content.

Use Images and Data for Instant Credibility

People usually trust data over your opinion. But if you are a reliable source to theaudience like Jeff Goins or Linda Formichelli, that’s a different story. Otherwise, it’s important to add the sources of your information or a screenshot to make your content more reliable to the readers.

Along with necessary sources and data, it would be best if you can provide 2-3 related images with content. This way, your readers won’t be bored reading lines and lines of boring text.

It will not only make the blog post attractive but also boost the credibility by 75%. Another report by SiteGrain indicates that readers usually trustcontent with visual references.

Using Quotes

You’ll see quotations coming at the top of some articles. This is to imply the most important thing at the beginning so that you can understand the message quickly, without having to read the whole articleto knowwhat it is about.

Mostly, this is important for news portals and related blogs. For example, if President Donald Trump makes a statementabout the national economy, the news portals will first quote the statement at the beginning.

This is how the readers will know what the ground basis of the news they are reading.

Use Stories to keep people engaged

Why do we love comics, movies, TV series and books?

They have stories.

Writers can use this idea to keep their readers engaged. Tell stories about yourself or someone you know.

For example, if you wantto write about the early days in thegym or how should people start their exercises on their very first day at thegym, you can tell them how you started.

You can share experiences that went wrong and suggest better alternatives along the way. By doing this, the readers will crave to know what happens next, just like the way you crave for the climax in a movie.

Use Subheadings

In a long article, people get lost amidst 10-15 paragraphs. They forget where they left off. Besides, multiple paragraphs without any proper indication of the context can cause the readers to leave without finishing the full article.

For instance, if you find yourself in a position where you finished reading one third of the article but suddenly the page reloads and you don’t remember where you last left off, there is a big chance you will leave the article and look for similar content that has subheadings to make you aware of the context in each paragraph. That’s why it is important to title the different parts and paragraphs with proper headings.

Pay attention to these tips for creating amazing content for your site and marketing. Remember, the larger the audiences, the more revenue you receive. So, don’t take the quality of the content lightly.
