Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic
Who are we called to be as followers of Jesus? Pastor Jen explores how the movie “One Life” challenges us to make a difference with the one life God gives us here on earth. The world is complex and heavy, but our response is simple– love God and love people!
Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.
You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about
Take a few moments to plan your post
Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.
Don’t forget to add images
Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.
Edit carefully before posting
Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
Discussion Questions:
- In Luke 10:27, Jesus states we should love God with all our heart, soul, strength, mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves. How do you think these two commandments work together to guide our actions in difficult times?
- The sermon discusses how Nicholas Winton was and ordinary person who saw something he couldn’t unsee and took action. Why is it hard sometimes to step up and take action when we find ourselves in the same situation?
- Pastor Jen mentioned several reasons why people might “step over” needs instead of helping, including busyness, familiarity, selfishness, greed, and comfort. Which of these do you think is the biggest barrier in our society?
- How can fixing our eyes on Jesus rather than the chaos around us change the way we respond to difficult situations in our world?
