Learn the ‘rule of thirds’ to get the most out of your blog

Here’s a quick tip:

1. When you produce a blog post, spend a third of your time writing the text.
2. Then spend another third crafting your headline. It really does need that amount of time.
3. Spend your last chunk of time formatting the post. Add bullet points, images, multimedia, anything you think that will make it easier to read.

In my experience, people don’t take care formatting their posts to make them visually appealing and they definitely don’t spend enough time on the headline. But that’s a post for another day!
