Open your blog post with a bang

By Steven Aitchison 2 Comments

Copyblogger has a great post on how to grab readers attention on your blog posts. I know myself I read a paragraph, or two if the headline grabs me, and then switch off if it is not up to much. The main suggestions are:

1. Ask a Question.

2. Share an Anecdote or Quote

3. Invoke the Mind’s Eye

4. Use an Analogy, Metaphor or Simile

5. Cite a Shocking Statistic

I am only starting out on this blogging game so I need every tip I can get. The site iteslf is great for bloggers and writers.

Brian’s post was great. You might also like my recent post on how to make sure the middle of your posts is as magic as possible. At least Brian liked it .
