Creating a blog your readers actually want to read requires understanding what they want to know and what the most effective ways to create content they value are. Here are five helpful tips for CEOs that are interested in creating the most impactful blogs possible!
Write About Things That Matter to Your Readers!
Your readers benefit the most from reading your blog posts when your topics are relevant to them, and making sure that the value of each post is clear is an important step in keeping them coming back. Readers that are interested in the majority of your posts and find meaningful ways to apply the information you share are the most likely to continue reading your blog and sharing your content with others that may be interested in everything you have to offer. Striving to find an adequate balance between producing content that both provides valuable information about a key or up-and-coming topic within your industry and keeps your readers’ attention can boost the overall level of impact that each post has the potential to have.
Be Yourself
Blogs differ from textbooks because they often prioritize sharing the author’s personal thoughts and opinions on a particular topic, which goes far beyond simply stating the facts. Adding a bit of your personality to your blogs can help you connect with your readers on a more personal level. Readers that see you as relatable are more likely to see your content as relatable, which can play an important role in giving you the results you want.
Guide Your Readers Start to Finish
Your readers likely have varying levels of background knowledge about each of the topics that you post content about, which means that guiding them through the post is an important step in making sure that your writing is as accessible as possible. Using language that is easy to read and explains technical terms when necessary can go a long way toward positioning your blog as one that provides valuable information that nearly any reader can benefit from.
Keep It Simple
Likewise, your readers probably do not have time to read every piece of information you could possibly share about a particular topic. Keeping your posts to a reasonable length and highlighting a few key pieces of information is more likely to keep your readers’ attention. Choosing a highly specific topic to discuss makes it easier to keep your posts brief than attempting to create something that is both short and valuable from an idea that is too broad.
Add Your Own Unique Spin
As a CEO, few of the topics that you could write a blog post about are truly original. Many important topics within nearly any industry have already been written about, and some have been written about many times. However, this does not mean that you cannot find value in finding a unique way to describe how your company is specifically handling them. By making sure that each of your blog posts includes unique content that applies directly to your business, you can show your readers why they should be interested in what you have to offer, even if they have read about a similar topic before. Many pieces of content are quite generic and only touch on the basics, and digging into what sets your company apart can help you ensure that each of your blog posts adds something valuable to the conversation.
