Similarly, you must use lots of pictures in your article to capture a larger part of your readers brain.
Conduct Keyword Research
If you are new to this keyword concept let me tell you how this works.
Your article must consist of such keywords that it must immediately pop up when people are searching for the related topic. Tis will also help your firm rank higher on the google search engine page.
Spoonfeed Your Audience
By this I mean that your article should cover 360 degree of that particular aspect. Provide every knowledge, answer every question that may be in your audience’s mind. It should be in such way that once the person read your blog, he/she should not feel the need to read anyone’s else.
Write Target Oriented Blogs
If you ask someone for directions, to a shop which is located in the next street, imagine how would you feel if they say go the last street and then go to the street in which the shop is located. Obviously frustrated right. Similarly, if you present your content in the form of jalebi, they would get distracted and irritated.
All I am saying is write blogs which are direct and in simple form.
Research Your Competitors Blog
Always be aware of your competitor’s strategy and never copy the work as this will dishearten your audience and they may boycott yours. Also, if you are lacking something in your article you can identify it in comparison to your competitor.

You can also use existing digital marketing tool for outreach to connect.

Another way to attract more traffic is that you should reward your readers with some products that you are promoting. In this way they use your product and if they liked it you will have a customer for lifetime. Not only this it will have a chain reaction as that person will definitely tell his/her friends and relatives ands there you go, you will attract a huge chunk of audience in that way.
Have an Opinion as Strong as Wood
You must never be vague or partly sure of your content. Write it with confidence, grace and conviction. This will assure you audience and will make easy for them to believe your content.
