I need to write more blogs with several whys or reasons to do so, so I decided to write a blog on why I should do it more often…
The first reason is that a blog associated with several reasons why to or why not to will be read much more than a blog without a list of reasons why to or why not to. It Does not matter if the blog has anything of value; the number of reasons and whys equals the number of clicks… Second, we live in a society that wants and expects instant results. If there are only a select number of reasons or ways to do something, then it must be easy to comply and check them off the list. Third reason: While people like to think those in social media are above call-to-action advertising and that it’s all about engagement, call-to-action often does win, and titling your blog with a number is a little like a call-to-action. We often overestimate the intelligence of the consumer, and listing something as simple as how many numbers it takes to do something works so much better than a thought-out clever title. Fourth reason: writing a blog about giving a specific number of whys or reasons will get you more hits and might expose those hits to something else you wrote. However, most will probably be looking for another blog with a specific number of reasons and whys. The fifth reason is to try it! Next time you write a blog, title it with seven ways or seven reasons and see what happens… Seven seems to be the most famous and effective number, so I used five. I always like to buck the trends, and I am looking for those with a little less patience 🙂
