Anyone who watches soap operas or prime time series, knows how each show ends with a “cliff hanger”.
It’s so compelling, you mark your calender, and watch the show the next time it airs.
Now, that’s not to say, I haven’t landed on a few blogs, that resemble a true life soap opera, but that’s not the lesson for today.
Today’s Lesson
Having studied “how to get more repeat visits to your blog”, I have read many articles about “series posts”.
Writing a “series post”, is like creating a soap opera. You write a post, divide it into several parts, but only post one part at a time, preferably ending each segment, with a cliff hanger.
Some say, by writing a post in a series, you gain repeat visits, and page views.
It is assumed, visitors will come back to read, “the rest of the story”.
The theory makes sense, however, I wonder how well it works.
Would a visitor actually come back day after day?
Or would they come back after a week or so, and read the series all at once?
Getting visitors to subscribe in a reader would help, but……is your “series” compelling enough to get them to do so?
Although this is not a series post, I will try the “cliff hanger” technique.
Tune in for tomorrow’s post, when my “New “Blog Of The Week”, will be announced. To avoid missing the action, subscribe to, or bookmark my site, to find out the latest winner.
Is it working?
Today’s Assignment
Have you ever tried writing a series post?
Did it work?
Do you go back to a site, day after day, to read a “series”?
Have your say, and share your thoughts on series posts.
