How do I write popular posts? Why can’t I write popular posts?

Popular posts are your blogs main attention and most important content on your blog. The first thing most visitors do when visiting a blog is look at the most popular posts. If they like the content they will check other posts as well, if they don’t they will leave.

If only you could make every post a success and attract lots of visitors and comments on your blog for every post you published.

Lets just say you was in this situation:

You write a post for your blog in the evening, you test read it for any grammar mistakes and after your satisfied you publish it. After publishing you want to have a break after all the hard work and start watching TV.  Eventually you feel very tired and go off to sleep.

The next morning you wake up and check out you blog and to your surprise you receive 10 comments in 10 hours and get double traffic to that post you’ve made.

You are obviously over the moon and start dancing because you’ve just realized that you’ve just written your most popular post.Before going to sleep again the next day you somehow get the inspiration to write another post. Hoping to be just as successful as your previous post. So there you are writing another post in 10 minutes and publishing it and then go to sleep.

You wake up the next morning and look at your blog post and realize it wasn’t a big success, in fact it was the crappiest post on your blog so far.

So what did I do wrong………?

Well, I’ll tell you what you did wrong. You didn’t take the effort or time to write a good post again. Instead of taking 1 hour to write a good useful post you took 10 minutes to quickly write a post and let it become a success, because your previous post was such a success you thought this post was going to be a success as well, but don’t forget you took the time and effort to write that 1 hour post and for this post you just quickly raffled it.

How can I solve this problem?

Almost every blog has a most popular posts section, so what you could do is look at your own popular posts and ask yourself these questions.

• Ÿ Is the writing style attractive?
• Ÿ Does it have many comments?
• Ÿ Have many visitors bookmarked the post?
• Ÿ Does it bring in lots of traffic?

If your answer is yes to all these questions, then follow these steps

1.

Write similar posts with a related topic. Try writing a similar post as your popular post, because many people liked your previous popular post there’s a nice chance they will like your related post as well

2.

Follow up your posts by making series like part 1, 2, 3. Just like in television series or episodes, the producers like to keep it    interesting and decide to cut the series in episodes, so people will continue coming back and watching the show.

3.

Write posts with more in depth information. Once you’ve written a popular post you can always create a follow up post and talk about the topic by providing extra information.

So how do you try to keep writing popular post?

Good luck writing popular posts!
