1) Blog Design and Navigation : This is very first way to captivate your new reader and make first impression. If your blog looks simple, clean and easy to navigate, you most probably gained a new reader on your site.
And remember that good design doesn’t meant that you use very heavy graphic elements on your site. Even simple design and easy to use navigation is enough to create a impression.
2) Decide your niche : Niche is as important to a blog as oxygen is for human being. If you look around, you will notice the biggy blogs are often that have particular niche.
So when you start a blog, clearly define your niche and target readers. It will help you to write according to them in their language, terminology and their behavior. For example, if your target audience are youth, your writing pattern will be like any youth. This will help you to create a direct connection with your readers and they become familiar with your blog very easily.
3) About Us Page : This is most of the bloggers under -estimate but believe me creating About us page is very important aspect of a blog. Because this is one of the first things your new visitor look for. They want to know whom they are reading and what’s potency you have in your subject.

4) Focus on Post Headline : Headline writing or title writing is also very important. Your effective post heading will attract your readers to invest their time in reading the post. And if you want that your visitors will read other articles of your , then your post heading should be catchy and speak for itself.
5) Quality over Quantity : Quality content always helps to attract new visitors rather than posting garbage just to meet the quota. With no research articles, you will also have a chance to loose your regular readers. So, decide the time span between two posts in such a way that you get enough time to research, write and finally promote it.
6) Feature Your Best Articles : You can also term it as “Featured Articles”. This is best way to create impression on your new visitor by showing your best-of-the-best articles. So, make a prominent place in your blog to show your most popular articles.

Great insight. First impressions are what is important. We only have about four seconds to keep a visitor on our blogs, so if you don’t grab their attention from the get-go, they are gone!
Hi Yogesh, I think to complete all of your great ideas is to make the blog search engine friendly. It’s really useless to have an impressive blog if it’s hardly found by our targeted readers. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the 7 point, out of the 7 points, I think about us page and unique quality content is very very important aspect of blog. It is equal important to add your picture to your about us page if possible to add more vale to the blog.
Very helpful information Yogesh! The biggest takeaway for me is working on a “about me” page.
