I would like to share with you some thoughts about catching the attention of your readers by having a well-written opening statement. It is important to start your post by sharing some interesting statistical evidence. Many people like to deal with numbers, and this is especially true if you have some shocking or surprising data to share. I am sure you will gain the attention of your readers this way. It might not be easy to attain such data. Nonetheless, if you posses any interesting statistics or know where to obtain them, this might result in a really great opening sentence. I know there are some sites presenting data about the blogosphere. If that is your niche, then I suggest you use search engines to find some interesting data to share.
You can also use an analogy to capture the readers attention. Analogies are great tool to provoke mental imagery that will make your readers more involved in reading your post. We often use analogies without even knowing it, so it might be a good exercise to check whether some of your posts already contain analogies. You can also analyze whether these posts are more popular compared to other ones.
Overall, there are many tips I could give to bloggers, but the most important one is to have high quality content. Make sure that each of your posts contains some useful information and that you present this information in an interesting way. This will guarantee that your blog will receive a lot of traffic, because people will find your articles useful.
