Six ways to spice up your blog

I love blogging and reading other blogs it is fun. Some blogs are boring and some are very informative and entertaining.  The later blogs always makes me want to go back and read more. This made me think  of the different ways I can make my blog better.  Spice it up.

I came up with a few different ways that a blog can be spiced up to make people want to come back and read more. This is from my experience of the blogs that I read often, bookmarked or opted in.

Write about yourself.

I love stories people love stories. True stories.  If you share bout your life and personal experiences people will always want to come back and find out more. Whatever topic it is sharing from your own life  is always a way to get more followers. There is a blog I love because the person shares how much she makes per month and how.

Add a video.

Videos in a blog add variety, they also  make people spend more time in your blog. Some videos in my blog include; Motivational videos.

You can also add a video that you have made. I have not done so in this blog but I know  it is a way that will make this blog better.

Have a guest blog.

If you can have someone write a blog post in your blog then you have killed two birds with one stone.  You add variety and it gives you a big break.  This is very simple, invite friends and connections who are also in the same niche ilk you are. You can also offer to be a guest blog  in other blogs. This way you attract more readers into your blog. There is a course on how to do guest blogging by Nicole Dean of easy PLR. Last summer she did a blog tour, writing on other blogs.

Write a product review

I love reading reviews even if they are  for a product I do not know. Sharing an experience of a product that you just bought makes people find your blog informative.  Always having a review section is one way to keep people spending more time in your blog and wanting to come back for more.

Motivational tips and videos

People are tired of being told what to do or how to make money. Sometimes what people need is a dose of motivation. The world is tough and a quote or an encouraging word is what people need.  You can write one or have a video. You can also get you tube videos on motivation and have them in your blog. I always, always read motivational posts in other blogs. They are just so encouraging. This also blends well with sharing your own story. A really strong spice for a blog.

Keep the connection

I have been to blogs where  I would love to connect and keep reading more blog post but there is no sign up. If you make your blog interesting people always want to come back for more. The best thing is to have a sign up and you can do email follow up with your blog posts.

Maybe I will also change the theme. Add a new photo, make a great header. There are actually many different ways to spice up a blog.

I would love to know many other different ways to make my blog better, if you know any other way please share.

All the best,
