Whenever you place any type of content on your website, make sure its both informative and easy to read. If you’re writing about cake decorating tips, make sure you’re staying away from dull information. You’ll lose the reader pretty quickly. You want to keep the reader’s interest so they’ll keep reading, and potential buy your product or service or subscribe to your newsletter.

Writing about topics of interest to you is always helpful. This makes the writing part much easier on you. It will also translate in how your content turns out. It will probably sound more coherent and interesting if you have a real passion for the topic and you know what you’re talking about. Give yourself and your reader’s a break by writing about something you know well.

Captivate your reader in the first sentence, at the most, make sure you have their attention by the first paragraph. Avoid drab writing, because you’ll turn your visitor off. Nothing is easier for someone browsing the web then to simply navigate away from a boring web page.

Do you have control over how quickly your page loads? Granted, you can’t control the internet speed your visitor is using, but there are other things you do have control over. For example, you can avoid using sounds and imagery that your visitor is forced into. This will just delay loading time.

If you’re trying to get a cooking point across with a visual using a roasting pan, give the user the option to enlarge the picture if needed. Large images usually slow down loading time, just like blinking text, and pop-up windows do as well. Slower loading times gives the visitor more of a chance to leave the page before they even arrive.

Create your content in manageable portions. Paragraphs that are too long are hard to digest, let alone remember. Shorter paragraphs are easier for the reader to remember. This is why the use of tips lists are so common. They’re simple, short and easy to remember.
