One of the best ways to grow your Blog audience it to create tantalizing headlines that will get people curious, clicking, reading and sharing (like the one above).
The truth is that it’s not just a great technique for Blogs. It’s a great technique for anything you do with the written word (be it articles, email newsletters and more).

Spend a few hours trolling through the early years and first few posts of these two Blogs (or any Blogs that you love).
As Blogs develop, so do the Bloggers. They tend to grow with their audience and get tired of repeating what they know. So, the gems that usually drove them to such immense popularity are usually trapped in the first few years of their work. It’s where all the initial fire and passion sits. It’s those early posts that give keys and clues along with real strategies and tactics that can best help you grow and succeed.
Pay attention to those early posts. Save them and go back to them on a frequent basis for inspiration.
The greatest Bloggers and content creators get this.
