Three Ways To Start A Conversation And Finish With A Sale
People often find themselves hankering for something new, whether it be a hobby, job, or car. And while most individuals take the time to peruse the options before buying, many others never move past their first choice.
In this article I'll tell you how to identify what your potential customer is looking for and how to present yourself so that they buy from you!
## Step 3: Write a list of at least 5 points which will form the headings for your blog post.
Headings should be clear and succinct so readers can skim through them quickly. Extra details can be added in paragraphs after each heading if necessary.
## Step 4: Learn what your reader expects in a blog post.
The reader's attention span is short. Your blog posts should be between 750 to 1000 words. Use bullet points and headlines to help break up the content into shorter and more readable chunks.
## Step 5: Write a catchy post title!
Optimize your blog post for search engines but don't make it look spammy in order to get traffic from Google. Remember that the title of your blog post will be the first thing that people see when deciding whether to read your article or not. The best thing to do when coming up with a good title is to think about answering the following questions:
Who? What? So, what? How?
Your blog post title should answer these questions. The first two questions are quite obvious and it may be easy to come up with the third one. But how do you answer the last question? You need to think about why people would want your content in the first place and then use that as your title.
If you are looking for ideas on what your blog post should be about, here's a list of articles which I have written which are often great starting points:

– A Beginner's Guide To SEO – http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog_tag/seo
## Step 6: Write the post itself!
Write a catchy lead-in which will catch the reader's attention and present your article in a way which is easy to understand. Never use technical terms unless you are sure that your reader understands what they mean. Use bullet points / numbered lists for presentation of ideas; this makes them easier to read and scan through.
Learn how to optimize for search engines in a non-spammy way. Write about your topic in an interesting and unique way! Never write boring, fact-based posts.
