You write your blog, upload it with hope, and nothing, a few dozen people view it! What a waste of your time and creativity. How did you fail? This book will reveal new, proven ways you can get more readers, not just for your blogs, but for your e-mails, brochures, advertisements, and other marketing materials as well.
The gatekeeper in any blog’s success is the TITLE. Fail with that and nothing else matters. It is the same with any print advertising and direct mail marketing. The Niagara torrent of information unleashed by the Internet has changed the way we interact with information. People scan today, giving you 1.5 seconds (more on that later), to grab their attention before they are gone. Your title must immediately seduce them and make them want more.
That is true not only with titles, but content as well. You must adjust your style, words, and layout to the New Normal of reading to keep people after they open your blog or e-mail. In this book you’ll learn some surefire style and content methods to hold your readers. People have changed. And, so must writers. Here is how to do it.
