Keeping Your Blog Audience Entertained

This is a very hard thing to do. I will get that out of the way, and now get into the part where I tell you how to avoid people getting bored while looking at your blogs. The first key thing to do is to make sure you have an interesting title and maybe even a few decent looking pictures that can accompany the blog that you are making. If you don’t have any pictures, that is perfectly ok. But every blog should have a title that makes people want to read the blog, as this is the first thing they will see.

Next are the transitions that you use throughout the blog. If you can’t seem to find a flow of words that help transition your thoughts throughout the blog, then you may want to slow down and really think about what words you are using and in what sense you are using them. If everything you are writing sounds monotone and dull, then people will stop reading right away. But if you can hint to a few things throughout the blog that you write about, then people will want to read more and more.

Keeping an audience entertained is a pretty tough thing to do if it is a long blog post, so consider keeping it edited down to a nice size that doesn’t seem to run on for ever and ever. If someone will have to scroll down five pages just to get past the first thoughts in your blog, then you are probably writing way too much. I can understand that you may have a lot that you want to talk about, but blogs are never really meant to be a very long read, so keeping it short and sweet will help keep the audience entertained the whole time. You would much rather have someone read all of your two-page blog post rather than someone read one page of your eight-page blog post.

Another important thing to remember when writing a blog is to try and relate to the people that are reading it in some way. If you can’t relay a specific message to almost every single person that reads your blog, then the topic may be a bit too vague and you may need to focus in on what you were really trying to blog about. Then again, this is all very dependent on how well you can write and what it is that you are writing about. If it is a very interesting topic, then be sure to have some interesting content written in the blog.

People have very short attention spans online, and that is just the way it is these days. Keeping people entertained for long amounts of time takes tons of preparation and practice, and the only way to make your blogs more entertaining is to keep writing them more and more. The more you write them, the better writer you will become, and the blogs will then become better as you go.
