- Formatting. Using capitals,bolds,italics,different font color etc in order to draw the reader's attention to important points.
- Use of unique images that are content related. If you are able to use images/photos that you have captured yourself,even better.Remember to use a keyword in your photo Alt description.
- Be precise. When writing out your content,don't write long stories that will confuse the reader or make the reader lose interest. In other words,get to the point and don't bury your ideas in your content.
- Be creative. You need to be unique in order to stand out from the rest. You can find creative ways of expressing yourself that are not only engaging but also communicate your main ideas effectively.
