Are Your Posts Attracting The Attention You Desire?

If they are not have you looked for a reason as to why this is happening?

There could be a multitude of reasons, but the first place to look is in your title and headline. Are they strong enough?

Look at the last post you did on the WA blog. Look at the title. Would it entice you to open that if it arrived in your mailbox? If not then you have found the number one cause for the failure of people to open and comment on your WA blog post.

I am sure this is not the first time you have heard this, but have you ever taken a hard look at your title? Can you critique your own work? If you find it hard to be objective about something you have written then get a friend or colleague to go over it for you.

If you think the title is OK then what about your opening headline. Does it pack a punch or is it just a limp set of words. The pros and cons of writing emails can be equally applied to your blog. A strong title can be let down by a poor headline.

You have very little time to convince your reader there is more information for them of interest. Two sentences down and they are going to be thinking of closing your post down.

Any time you want to gain someones attention you need to bait the hook. There must be useful information and possibly every now and then a free download. Keep your potential customers interested and they will come back time and again.

While there are certain people whose blog posts I will always read their are also those that I don't always read. I get many emails a day with WA blog posts and I skim the titles, and on that basis I decide on whether I am even going to open the post!

There are other reasons which I will cover in upcoming posts!

A good hook takes practice and well worth the practice. The beginning of any feature film will have a hook in the first few minuets to bring your audience in. Thanks for the pointers.

Thanks for your comments Judson.

Good points Derek. This is close to what Erin posted about when she referred to using Jaaxy for WA blog posts. Now you covered titles and headlines. Thanks. I will keep these in mind when writing here or my site.

Glad to be of help Bob. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Excellent. I read the whole thing. lol The title and the fox pic hooked me. Those foxes are everywhere here in Ukraine. We got one that sleeps in a planter on the back porch and he will let you scratch his belly. Craziest thing I ever saw.

Thank you for your comments Mark.

Derek

Thanks for the info. What would you suggest folks starting out do to improve their craft in regards to the points you mentioned?

If you are on the list of any prolific marketers read their emails. See what in them you are enticed by. Try to copy the ideas that work for you but put them in your own words to apply to your product.

... Good one, Derek!

... and please do tell, what is the best kind of cheese to put on a plate?!

... cheerio... 😊

For me definitely a blue-veined cheese.lol

Derek

.. like 'Stilton' perhaps?! ... attended an evening over at friends' and they offered red wine & all kinds of cheese -- you could have had my morsel share of the 'blue-veined' ... i prefer 'simple regular soft butter-like cheeses... lol ... enjoy! ... 😊

Thank you Derek for sharing much appreciated.
