Blog post writing has become a very lucrative skill...but not everyone has the ability to tap into this profitable marketing tool...some are just launching their first blogs. If you are one of these people...there are few things you need to learn in order to make your blog popular. And unless you have the experience to provide people with useful information...you'll only get so far.

Here's some advice on writing blog posts that get traffic:

1. Show your readers who you are when writing your blog posts. What you can do for them...and what type of information can they expects from your posts? Don't try to be someone you're not. Letting people in is a great way to gain their trust. You'll be surprised at how many people will visit your blog if you open up a little.

2. If your posts are boring...how long would you expect someone to stay on your blog? My research has shown that people will only spend about 3 seconds reading your blog post before they decide if it's good or not. So make sure to capture these people's attention right away. Appeal to emotion if you have to. Offer some free videos on your topic...do whatever you have to do to get them to read your posts until the end.

3. Find a topic that has lots of search volume. OK...this is something that many people neglect to do, and it's ruining their chances for success. If you ever hope to get your blog posts on the first page of Google...you'll have to only write about what people are dying to know about. You can literally take them by the hand and guide them to your posts if you write about the current hot topics in your niche.

4. Something that I've noticed works really well for building credibility and trust with your readers is to interview someone well known in your niche. So you'll want to make sure you have some good questions to ask this expert...then give it to your readers as a free gift. This is great for establishing your blog as the go to place for information.

5. Blog posts are much more effective at getting search engine traffic when they are full of media and images. Not only will this get your blog better rankings...it will also make it more fun for people who read your posts. So try to include relevant images and videos for your readers and consistently look for new information to share with them.

6. Keywords are very important for your blog posts. If you focus on targeting specific keyword phrases, the chances of your blog coming up on the first page of Google are higher. So optimize your posts with relevant keywords that target the specific needs and wants of your audience. Make sure that you include a relevant key word in every paragraph of your content.
