You can make it more impressive by conducting a contest, offering a free PDF of your favorite content, creating a quiz, or generating an open discussion.

Don’ts of Blogging
- Don’t take blogging only as a medium of earning money. It is certainly a lucrative career option these days but writing just for the sake of monetary benefits may hamper the quality of your content.
- Don’t let your blog turn into an advertising or classified page. Do keep it open for advertisement and promotional content but limit the space for the same.
- Don’t impose your thoughts and beliefs on your readers. Keep your post open for interaction and discussion.
- Don’t stuff keywords with a thought to make it more search-engine friendly. Even one good keyword placed naturally in the content in an optimum density is enough to make your blog post searchable.
- Don’t stuff non-relevant information and write meaningless sentences to create a long post. Be short yet expressive to share your story with your reader.
