Interest grabbing title:
The first step of writing a powerful blog post is to write an interesting title. The title you write should be something which emphasize and attract visitors to read your post. For example if you have a post about writing an seo friendly post then you should have a title "7 things to take care of while writing a post in blogger for seo" isn't it interesting? so it will grab interest of your audience and the visitors will read every post which have a title similar to it(interesting).
Include Photos and graphs:
Articles with images and graphs get 94% more views as compared to articles without images. Photos and graphs get interest of visitors and also helps them to understand the article more properly. Try to add images and graphs having information absorbed in them. You can also use image ads in between posts and increase interest of visitors and also increase your blog revenue.
Use clean and simple design:
Clean and simple design is a very important factor, too much ads and a congested post isn't liked by anyone and use of social bars that floats over a visitor's head also frustrates him especially Facebook pop-up box and E-mail subscription pop-up box, so keep a simple design and let visitors read your blog without loosing temper. Also optimize your blog for desktop, mobiles and tablets.
Have a unique voice:
By unique voice I mean a unique content but it must be meaningful and educational. You have to think about it before starting a new blog(you must have a category that people search more frequently). Use easy sentences and keep focus on the topic of post, don't get away from the topic in order to increase your blog text. Use simple words and write your post in such a manner that a beginner could understand it easily, While writing a post suppose that you are a beginner and trying to learn something.

Insert videos in your posts. 95% people prefer watching videos despite of reading posts. If you have tutorials blog its the best way for you to get more visitors and also increase your Youtube audience. You can monetize ads on your video and can earn a revenue also. Videos helps you to keep people active because posts with only text becomes boring. If you don't have your own channel you can share others videos, it will not generate revenue for you but it will engage more people to your post.

In most of the blogs people read the comments of others to know if the post is meaningful or no because they don't like to read long posts so they just read comments as the post summery. So its very beneficial to make conversation with your visitors for you are and your visitors. So ask them for feedback, recommendations etc. Moreover it will keep visitors for longer on your blog.
