1. A Catchy Title
   The title of your blog should be such that it compels readers to click on your blog link and read it. So, it’s always a good idea to invest some additional time in thinking of an engaging title. Research shows that top-performing blogs usually contain a number, such as “the best 4 reasons to..” or words, such as “how to…”, “a guide to..”, etc.   It’s also crucial for you to include your main keyword in the title so that your blog can rank in Google’s search rankings.
2. Persuasive Words

4. Social Media Sharing
   Make sure that your blog posts have a feature that allows readers to share your content on their social media platforms.
   The best place to insert the social sharing tool is at the top or the bottom of the post.
