I have a hard time convincing others to like my post maybe because I am not a good writer.

Thanks for this post I learned something.

Hi Kristi,
I’m a Christian blogger with the primary goal of sharing the love of Jesus and encouraging fellow Christians. Though my primary motivation is not making money, I did find some helpful tips here to increase the reach of my blog. God bless you!

Harleena such (seemingly incomplete) posts might be acceptable by Google but I’m sure they fail to produce any enviable results. I think in order to get desired results a post must be complete as well as concise.

Kristi,
Great advice here. I also notice that when I mention people in my tweets they tend to RT. I think that one thing all of your suggestions have in common is focusing on providing value to the reader. If the post provides useful information people will be motivated to share with others they feel can benefit from the information.

Tried one of these techniques, by just simply changing the headline. Much, much better results. Great article. Very clear and very helpful. Will share with others.

Kristi – great advice. I wrote an article that ended up going socially viral and currently has over 12,000 likes and 250 tweets!

My big takeaway was to write about something your target audience feels passionately about. In my niche, Hockey fans tend to be the most loyal to their sport, so I wrote an article about how “Hockey Players were tougher than Baseball Players” and gave 10 comparison stories: http://www.sportstvjobs.com/resources/hockey-players-are-tough.html

I liked the article but was shocked and amazed by just how much traction it got in social media. Ultimately my big surprise is that it resulted in just a few $$. I think my greatest benefit was the many links it received, but I was very surprised it didn’t result in more conversions.

I’m new to this game and read your stuff constantly to learn more, if I’m doing something wrong on the income side, I’d love advice/giudance
