Listen up bloggers and freelance writers, it isn’t enough anymore to just have good content on your blog.
Don’t get me wrong – having a well-written, interesting and engaging blog post is important, but it isn’t enough.
No, what you want is for people to notice your post. You want them to click on the link, and if they can get past your headline and read your post, they might even think about it, tweet it, bookmark it, share it and pin it.
