[request for help] How to increase visual content in blog posts
Hi all,
I've recently started writing blog posts and I generally tend to write and then think about the media and visual content. I'm keen to hear from others on how you think about using visual content or anything else to make your blog posts more visually appealing to readers?
An example I can share is this blog post on why you need a marketing website for your app.
I'd love to hear any actionable feedback on how I can break up this big wall of text.
Thanks 😊
Memes!
Quick and easy to make, funny (you hope), and will capture the short attention span of any distracted internetizen.
Cool, thanks for sharing!
In some posts I've added a summary/key takeaways at the top which helps the reader navigate to the parts of the article that are most relevant to them
That's a good idea! I've actually got my summary in the conclusion so I'll think about re-arranging to make it easier for the reader. Thanks @mattcrail 👍
Awesome! Thanks a lot for your advice 😊
You can use https://storycreatorapp.com to make quick videos. Meme videos or educational videos do well.
Great tool! The “aha” moment for me was the gif / video on the site where the user edited the animated text, with a static photo background. So clear!
Cool, thanks for sharing!
Your post contains some comparisons and numbers:
For comparison, have one picture with the good (green) and the bad (red)
For number, use graphs or charts
For me, it’d help getting the idea without reading the texts. If the point is interesting, I’ll go into details
Hope it helps!
That's a great way to think about it, thanks for your help!
Add a table of contents, quoted text, relevant screenshots (from your phone/desktop), and a maximum of 1-2 lines per paragraph.
Great advice, thank you!
