Embed share triggers in your blog post<\/b><\/h2>\n

SEO Factors at play \u2013 Social Signals & Backlinks<\/span><\/h3>\n

Simply put, share triggers are psychological factors that encourage readers to share your post.\u00a0<\/span>When your post gets shared by others, it gives search engines like Google an early indication it’s popular.\u00a0<\/span>Here are 3 of my favorite share triggers you can use to boost social shares on your blog right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ego Bait<\/b> \u2013 This is where you create content that makes your readers look good.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>To achieve this, you reinforce what your audience already believes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example.\u00a0<\/span>Let\u2019s say you run a blog about everything related to vegetarians. You’d then write a post on a topic you know your audience will agree with. It could be on \u2018the health benefits of not eating meat\u2019 or \u20188 reasons why a vegetarian diet is so great\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

An easy way to come up with ego bait topic ideas?\u00a0<\/span>Jump on any relevant forums or Facebook Groups related to your niche and ask them \u201cwhat do you love most about being a vegetarian?\u201d and now it\u2019s just a matter of waiting for responses filled with some great blog ideas you know your target audience already agrees with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Content length<\/b> \u2013 This share trigger is pretty self-explanatory, you want to write at least 2000+ words in your next post for it to work.\u00a0<\/span>Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, when people see your in-depth post filled with great content, it triggers an emotional feeling of Awe. <\/span><\/p>\n

SEO<\/p>\n

Readers would think\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWow, this is one of the most detailed articles I\u2019ve read on this topic. Impressive!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>And because you triggered an emotional response in your readers, they click the share button.\u00a0<\/span>Remember: Use this share trigger only when you’re able to maintain a high level of quality content that provides value to your readers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social Weight<\/b> \u2013 This is super powerful, you literally hi-jack the huge audience influencers in your niche have.\u00a0<\/span>Here\u2019s how you do it:<\/span><\/p>\n

Include influencers in your next blog post, either by writing about them, linking out to a relevant article they wrote or directly ask them a question and add their response to your post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s just a matter of contacting them to let them know you included them.\u00a0<\/span>I actually used this exact tactic in a recent post on <\/span>link building tips for a new site<\/span><\/a> and it quickly picked up over 100 social shares plus two bonus backlinks. Pretty impressive considering my blog is brand new and I have zero social following.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason social weight works is that when you involve influencers, they become an active contributor to your post and this encourages them to share it with their big network of followers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>A single share from the right influencer can result in a tonne of additional traffic visiting your post.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best part?\u00a0<\/span>Because these readers are big fans of the influencer, they\u2019re going to also want to share your post too.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Write A Killer Blog Introduction<\/b><\/h2>\n

SEO Factors at play \u2013 Dwell Time & Bounce Rate<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most people spend the majority of their time writing a catchy headline.\u00a0<\/span>And yes, a good headline can <\/span>boost click-through rates<\/span><\/a>. But you have to think, what\u2019s the point if you can\u2019t keep them on the page?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the deal.\u00a0<\/span>People have short attention spans, and it\u2019s especially true online.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>You literally have 2-3 seconds to spark your reader’s curiosity or they’re gone for good. That\u2019s where a killer introduction comes in.\u00a0<\/span>So, here\u2019s how to write an introduction that hooks your reader, lowers bounce rate and increases dwell time.<\/span><\/p>\n
