Anyone who is spending their time and effort to write and post blogs would be wise to pay attention to your tips.
Great tips! I like the new title and love the ideas for being provocative and providing something that can be quoted out. Now I just need this as a checklist I can keep and use.
I’ll be sharing this one with my “Write Your Book Grow Your Biz” peeps and will be using these tips myself – thanks!

Such great tips to remember. With so much information out there on blogs, being provocative with a strong opinion goes a long way in generating shares and discussion.
I would agree with Paul’s words of wisdom – provokative and the use of the word “obsessive” is spot on!
Sue, I really like these suggested changes for better blog post sharing. Thanks for sharing. I will take these to heart.
I need to use some of these tips. When I first started my 50 First Dates Girl blog it was being shared and with my Romantic Comedy Girl blog my “big shared entry” was titled: Is anyone having sex anymore? So I’d be curious what you think of thee tips would be most applicable to getting my blog posts shared? Titling them a little more racy? Or getting more racy with the content? I will definitely add tweetables.. in fact I’m going to go do that now on my latest. THANKS SUE!
Jessica,
Compelling titles – controversial or racy for your topic – for sure!
Sue
Great tips for increasing blog post shares, Sue! I particularly agree with being entertaining and provocative. I love blog posts that are interesting and really get me thinking. Having a strong point of view or opinion in your posts goes a long way in boosting conversation and it also makes it easirer to come up with “quotables.”
Hi Tiffany,
Yes, quotable are helpful for readers to share on FB or Twitter, too!
Sue
