Spice Up Those Posts

There are way too many blog posts that are boring. I’m here to show you what I have learned about spicing up those dry posts with added content.

Animated GIFs

• They can’t be too long or else they will take a long time to load
• They should be something safe for work
• Try to keep it relative to the topic (These pencils however, are not relevant)

Infographics

• It should be informative
• Don’t make it too long because to educate, readers need to actually finish reading the inforgraphic

Videos

• Keep it short, like under a minute or else the reader will forget about reading the rest of the article
• High quality is preferred but not necessary
• Embed the video on the site to avoid them getting lost in Youtube

Written Content Paired With Images

• Needs to be written well
• It should be relevant, creative, and informative
• Pair with illustrations or high quality pictures

Again, I’m going to break my own rule here and stop your boredom by posting a picture of a kitty!

And always leave the reader with a call to action or an invitation. Like this… Which is better, cats or dogs?
