My advices to write a perfect blog post

You need to keep in mind that the main goal of your article is your audience’s satisfaction. To satisfy your audience, you have to provide them with a quality and highly relevant content. You also have to create a rich experience by adding visuals (pictures, videos, infographics etc.).  Title, headlines and openings have to be engaging to encourage your audience to read the whole article, comments and click on CTA links.

Also, you need to optimize your article for search engines.  By optimizing, you will be giving even more visibility to your blog. Use keywords but do not over-optimize and abuse of anchor-links with exact match. Fill up your HTML tags (title, meta descriptions, images alt), not only for SEO but also to have a nicely displayed overview on Search Engines Results Pages.

Finally, do not forget to use social media which is a real lead generation magnet. Make your article sharable, so that your audience will make it viral for you.
