I hope you all in the USA like me had a great July 4th yesterday! Its great to celebrate your country and for what it has done and achieved, it got me thinking about fireworks since that is what we pretty much all do on July 4th. Anyhow I got to thinking what sorta ways really spark interest in a blog quickly sort of like how a firework takes a few seconds to build up and then whoosh the show begins!

So here are a few of my thoughts on the subject, but remember you can always search my site for in-depth articles on these same subjects!

Catchy Business Name - You wouldn’t believe how quickly a blog or general business for that matter can take off with the right name. Granted it is harder to find a really good name these days because they are nearly all taken but with that said you can always pick a good name that draws attention to it!

Write Effective Post Titles - When writing a blog post its important to have a title that stands out from the crowd. The title does not always have to make sense either (although it helps), it just needs to draw attention to people in social bookmark sites like digg. If you can pull that off right you will get more traffic then your server can handle and then its time for an upgrade :)!

Write An Awesome Heading - The heading is the text or first few sentences of your post, this is the most important part of your actual post content because this is what people on other sites will read. Mainly directories, rss grabbers and of course social bookmarking sites. Aside from those its still important to have a good title because it will either encourage or discourage a person to continue reading down the post.

Use Images In Posts - That’s right, I suggest using images here and there especially on important posts that you want readers to read. Images are like video in that they have a draw quality if placed right, experiment with positions until you find what brings your readers further down into each post!

Well there you go all you faithful readers of mine, I just threw down 4 tips that most bloggers would charge you for during a consultation meeting! I know, I know your grateful and seriously don’t worry just SUBSCRIBE to my rss feed or to boogie monster will be coming to your house tonight!
