I’m sure the word consejos was the first one you saw. Consejos is a Spanish word which means tips. Strong headlines control whether or not visitors decide to read your content. I could have called this blog post, “Tips For Writing Stronger Headlines,” but that headline wouldn’t have been a strong one.

The first tip for writing stronger headlines is to write a headline that causes intrigue. You can’t wait for someone to read your entire blog post before they feel intrigued. Visitors need to be intrigued to read a blog post before they actually start to read it. I’m not telling you to mix every language you can think of into one title.

If you decide to use words from a language that you don’t normally use on your blog, tell your visitors what those words mean right away. When your visitors find out what those words mean, they should be inclined to read on.

The second tip for writing stronger headlines is to write a headline that tells the visitor to take action or use the word action. People are always looking for ways to take action, and if your blog post’s headline tells people to take action, they will read your blog post to learn how to take action.

The third tip for writing stronger headlines is to write headlines that answer your visitor’s questions. The only way you will be able to answer your visitor’s questions is by identifying why people visit your blog. Do people visit your blog for social media advice, sports tips, or something else? Find out why people visit your blog, and identify some of the questions they have that you might be able to answer.

The fourth tip for writing stronger headlines is to add the word mistakes to the headline. A good example would be, “Mistakes Made By Beginners.” Beginners will look at your blog post for your insight so they don’t make those mistakes.

The fifth tip for writing stronger headlines is to write headlines that make perfect sense and perfectly lead to the content. An example of this is my blog post 11 Ways To Get More Followers On Pinterest. This headline allows the visitor to know what the blog post is going to be about.

Best Blogging Tips

What started out as an online diary has taken significance importance towards getting more sales, traffic, and a unique voice on the web. Although blogs cannot be successful overnight, they can be successful after implementing various methods for a long period of time. There are a lot of bloggers who just started and are trying to make their blog the go-to place. Here are 100 ways to do that.

Update your blog consistently. People won’t forget about you.
Share your blog posts on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and any other social network you can think of.
Track your statistics. This will allow you to see which days you are getting the most traffic on your blog as well as which blog posts bring the most traffic to your blog.
Have an About Me page on your blog. People need to know your story in order to have a reason to stick around.
Make your subscribe button easy to see. This will result in more subscribers, and more people will be emailed each time you come out with a new blog post.
Give people a free product when they subscribe to your blog. The free product can range from a video to a PDF. This will encourage them to subscribe.
Over deliver whenever you can. In addition to the free product you guaranteed, offer another free product or service as well.
Have good headlines. The headlines for your blog posts should make your visitors want to read on.
Include words in your headlines and your blog posts to boost your SEO. The search terms that people are entering into Google to find your blog should also be in your blog’s content.
Promote your products on the sidebar, not in the front of your blog. The content of your blog is going to get people to subscribe to your blog, and those subscribers will eventually buy your product, not the other way around.
Blog daily. If you blog daily, people are going to expect another blog post the following day. Some people will go on your blog the next day just because they know new content will be up there.
If you can send out a blog post more than once every day, that’s even better. If you choose to send out two blog posts every day, make sure you can do that consistently.
Give your blog a clear identity. This will give people something to talk about when they tell other people about your blog.
Comment on other people’s blogs. This will give you more backlinks and visibility on the web.
Look at the top blogs of your niche and look for common patterns. Following those patterns will allow your blog to get more traffic.
When you look at the top blogs of your niche, take different characteristics from each of those blogs and blend them together on your blog. If you get the results you wanted, keep the changes. If you did not get the results you were expecting, keep on experimenting and making changes.
Choose a name or URL that people will remember. Remembering a name is a lot easier than remembering a sentence. Typing in the name is also going to be a lot easier than typing the sentence.
Increase your presence on social networks. Here’s how you can do that with Twitter, Pinterest, Google Plus, and YouTube.
Use YouTube because it is going to dramatically increase the number of visitors you get.
Publish YouTube videos consistently and share them on social networks. I publish one YouTube video every Saturday at 9 am EST.
Put links on your blog that direct people to your other blog posts. This will increase your traffic and SEO.
Offer a Q&A on your blog that either gets done via email or comments. Answering questions quickly will make people happy enough to subscribe to your blog.
Give people the chance to contact you. Someone may contact you with an interview offer.
Don’t give up on blogging.
If you’re thinking about giving up, you need to see this picture.
The content on your blog shouldn’t fit your needs. It should fit the needs of your visitors.
Include social media buttons at the bottom of your blog posts so people can easily share them.
Write quality content that people will want to share.
Install the TablePress plugin to put tables up on your blog. This will allow you to organize and present information on your blog better than ever. Maybe you can incorporate a “Table Tuesday” or “Table Thursday.”
When recommending products, don’t be afraid to promote your competition. Visitors will recognize you for being honest, and your blog will appear on Google for your competitors’ keywords.
Tweet every hour with some of your blog posts. Once you have over a thousand blog posts, you will be able to tweet for days without any repeated tweets. You should be sending tweets about at least 5 of your blog posts every day.
Start conversations on Twitter. The people you talk to will decide to look at your profile. When they see the link to your blog, they will click on that link.
Do not rush a blog post. The best blog posts come after a lot of thought.
For 5-10 minutes, jot down a bunch of ideas for your future blog posts. The advantage of having a lot of ideas to choose from is that you decide which ones get implemented and which ones don’t.
Schedule your blog posts days ahead so staying consistent is not a pain. Then, you will be able to write really long blog posts like this one.
Some of your blog posts should be lists. The bigger the list, the more visibility it is going to get.
Include a link to your blog in your email signature. Don’t miss the opportunity to promote yourself in a powerful way.
If you are a speaker, pass out a form to your audience asking whether they want to subscribe to your blog or not. Give them a place to write their email and indicate their choice with a check mark. Then, you can enter those emails in your subscription box and get more subscribers.
Host a giveaway on your blog exclusively to your subscribers. This will encourage visitors to subscribe to your blog. By the time the contest is over, your new subscribers won’t want to click the unsubscribe button because they’ll enjoy reading your content.
Give visitors the option to follow you on your social networks. You can do this with buttons for your social networks with links to your accounts.
Give visitors the option to follow you on your social networks without leaving your blog. This will ensure more followers and the amount of time a visitor stays on your blog will increase.
Become a guest blogger for a blog related to your niche. You will reach a larger audience, get more traffic, and an additional backlink for your blog.
If you find something that works, repeat it. If something works the first time, chances are that it will work the second time as well.
Put pictures on your blog. This will make it possible for other people to pin your blog posts. Since 80% of pins are repins, your blog may end up going viral. That only happens if your blog post has a picture as well.
Write in small paragraphs. One big lump of text is difficult to read. Splitting your blog posts into paragraphs will make visitors read your blog posts for an extended period of time.
Make your blog remarkable by offering or doing something that no one else does. Be the next Purple Cow!
Send out your blog posts either in the morning or very late at night. Those are the two times when you will get the most traffic. Sending out blog posts in the afternoon isn’t as effective because people do not have as much time to read a blog post.
Write blog posts that will still be effective years later. You will be able to tweet the same blog post today that you wrote 2 years ago and get traffic.
Write a blog post about Google. This one works.
Get Google Authorship. When someone searches your name, a box with your picture and latest Google Plus post will appear to the right.
If you only post links to your blog posts on Google Plus, you will get more traffic from Google Authorship as well.
If one of your blog posts is doing very well, share it on your social networks the next day. If a lot of people looked at that blog post the first time, a lot of people will look at that blog post a second time.
Answer questions relating to what you blog about on Yahoo Answers or Wiki Answers. Yahoo Answers and Wiki Answers almost always appear on Page 1 for Google search results.
Make sure you have a lot of blog posts on the front page. If you only have 5 blog posts on the front page, your visitors will have to click the “older posts” button more times than they would like.
Write 3-5 blog posts every day. That way, you will have blog posts scheduled for days, and you will also be able to choose which blog posts end up getting published to your blog.
Write your blog posts at a time of the day when you are the most productive. This will allow you to write more blog posts with greater quality.
Make videos about some of your blog posts. Your videos will get people curious until they click the link to your blog post.
Give your products to subscribers for free. Authors commonly give books away to subscribers and people who subscribe to their blog.
Review products on Amazon. Millions of people visit Amazon, and one of the products you like may only have 50 reviews. People hear your honest opinion, and as you review more products, people will see you more often. As people see you more often, they will want to learn more about you. Then, they find your blog.
Give yourself goals. How many blog posts do you want to write within a week? How much traffic do you want next month? Once you give yourself those goals, find ways to turn those goals into realities.
Include links in your blog posts to other places on the web. This will increase the clickout rate which also has an impact on SEO.
Know that blogging is a marathon with a finish line and a trophy.
After you finish a video, start another one.
Offer your subscribers super saver discounts.
Use words that everyone knows the definitions of.
Use a professional theme that is able to get your message across with a good look.
Respond to comments on your blog. This will allow you to build stronger connections with your visitors. They will come back and comment regularly.
Don’t make your blog dependent on search engines. Who knows when Google will decide to change their algorithms.
While search engines help, you should rely on social media to drive more traffic to your blog.
Using social media to increase your blog traffic will also increase the traffic you get from search engines.
Market your products in ways people wouldn’t imagine. People will take about it and become curious. That curiosity will lead to a Google search where consumers find the link to your blog.
Participate in forums. The Warrior Forum has one of the best Alexa ranks on the web.
Use fluent English that allows people to understand the message you are trying to convey.
Make sure that most of your blog posts should be short. The maximum for a majority number of words of your blog posts should be at 500 words. Only once or even twice a month should you write a blog post that passes 500 words.
Tell friends about your blog and have them subscribe. Your friends are going to do the best job at spreading the word about your blog.
Offer consultation opportunities for your niche. People want answers.
Upload pins about your blog every day.
Create products that revolve around your blog. The contents of your blog can be turned into a book, videos, training courses, and more. You can market what you already have.
Follow people on Twitter who have the same niche as you. These people will end up visiting your blog, especially if these people usually follow back.
Include a Popular Posts widget so new visitors can see your best.
Include pictures at the sidebar of your blog. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Use HARO to get free PR for your business. HARO allows you to submit content to a variety of publishers. You’ll find someone who wants something that you can perform. ABC, NBC, CBS, and others use HARO to reach out to more people.
Write some blog posts on what not to do.

Have your phone with you as much as you can. If you think of a really good topic to write about, use the Notepad App to write it down.
Interview successful people on your niche.
Get interviewed by people of your niche. Offer a chance for an interview on your blog.
Create a calendar to determine which days will be the best for writing blog posts.
This will also help you determine the one day of the month that you write a really long blog post filled with information.
Offer free KeyNotes on your blog.
Present them at public events and tell people about your blog.
Come up with a clever tagline for your blog.
Say a clever tagline at the end of all of your YouTube videos.
