You just can’t expect positive results if you are creating new content for your blog once a month. Based on our experience you need to write at least two blog posts per week. Here are the reasons why:

• A blog is the best tool for creating new and interesting content for your website.
• Regular blog posts will make your webpage more relevant by increasing its rank in organic search. The goal of it all is more visits to your web because more visits mean more chances to convert them into leads with whom you can then develop a relationship and eventually convert them into your clients.

#5 Important and relevant content

#6 Text formatting

You picked out interesting topic, created a great title and attracted visitors to your blog post, but they haven’t read the text till the end? The most common cause for that is too much text. Think about how much time you take to read other blog posts and you will notice how online readers, unlike those reading a book, look through text faster. They usually scan subtitles, bold text and bullets and don’t stop at every part of text. Big blocks of text can discourage user from further reading. Because of that, you need to format your text with following:

• appealing title
• attractive and quality photos
• links to other sources
• subtitles and numbers
• bullets
• bold text
• moderate length of text (around 600 words)

As we seen till now, quality content represents one of the key characteristics of successful content marketing. With publishing poor quality content you are only decreasing possibility of  accomplishing your business and marketing goals.
