4 THINGS TO DO TO MAKE YOUR BLOG POP!

Now is the time to get your blog on Fleek! In my six years of blogging I'm  sure I have come across at least 300,000 blogs-No lie! In my early blogging years I used to visit at least 50 blogs daily because I was so obsessed with blogging-still very obsessed. I have seen the good, bad, ugly and fabulous, so I can give you tips on how to make your blog pop! Think of this post like a push-up bra. 😜 Let's do this!

-FAB BLOG DESIGN

This is the first thing you need to work on. There are so many beautiful blogs out there and ways to make your blog look visually appealing are literally at your fingertips. Gone are the days of trying to design your blog yourself, for $5 you can find an already made template online, purchase, install and your blog looks like a Lagos babe ready for an Owambe on Saturday afternoon.

-APPEALING PHOTOS

I love reading blogs that use very good images-especially images that related to the blog post. Ever so often I see a lot of Nigerian blogs with images that are blurry, have low quality, totally unrelated to the post and worst of all, stolen. By stolen I mean, downloaded from Google without permission. Don't allow what happened to me in 2014 happen to you oh. I don tell you. Most phones these days can take a decent photo, apply a filter here and there and your photos are web ready. 

-ORGANIZATION ON FLEEK

There is nothing more confusing than a disorganised blog. No About Me page, No Popular Post /Previous Post section, everything is just basically "jagajaga". No reader has time to try to put it together, they will quickly vamoose from your blog. Keep it simple. Make sure your posts are arranged neatly. The texts should be aligned, your sentences should be punctuated. Use paragraphs. Have sections. Make sure we can see at least 4 posts per page. 

-MOBILE FRIENDLINESS

Most readers view your blog on their mobile phones, you'd hardly find anyone reading blogs from the computer (unless they're at work-naughty), this means your blog should be mobile friendly and responsive. Mobile friendliness is basically your blog cat-walking, instead of walking upandan anyhow. Blog t'on twerk. Mobile responsiveness means your blog would adapt to whatever device your reader is using. This is one of the best things you can do for your blog right now, it shouldn't cost much to get it that way. Make sure whatever blog template design you are purchasing is mobile responsive, if you are not sure, ask.

I hope this post gives you the oomph that your blog needs.
