Gain A 40% Uplift In Your Blog Engagement In 3 Months

Discover the gap within a 300% increase in AI-generated content

Have you ever stopped to wonder if our relentless pursuit of technological advancement, particularly the surge in AI-generated content, is slowly eroding the very essence of our humanity?

I mean, sure, businesses run on logical brains, but I think the excessive usage of robotic technology is causing us to forget that the very business we are running is actually dependent on the nature and characteristics of the consumers and what else can best define them other than the fact that,

· They are ‘humans’

· They have ‘emotions’

As Maya Angelou once beautifully articulated, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

This sentiment reminds us that at the core of every blog post, article, or tweet, there’s a human spirit trying to connect with one another.

In a world increasingly governed by algorithms and automated responses, don’t you find yourself yearning for the warmth of genuine human interaction? That’s how the consumers feel!

It’s human nature. A person is automatically attracted to who he thinks is giving him attention and love.

And AI doesn’t know a thing about ‘empathy’. There! There’s your gap that if you hold tight to it, you can see success in the face!

My initial blog posts didn’t carry this sentiment and I had to discover the fact in order to see some attraction and therefore, success.

I’ve continuously gained followers and subscribers ever since. What did I do differently?

· Looked through the eyes of my potential consumers.

· Listened with their ears

· Felt with their heart

And you can tell the level of impact it can create on your brand voice.

Besides, guys, it’s a war/inflation era. People are so depressed they don’t need someone telling them facts, they need someone showing them the way to solving their problems.

The Shift to Personal Journaling

Let’s get crystal clear here, no strangeness, just be friends and maybe a little (secret partners) haha😂!

So, initially, my generic posts failed to gain traction. I used to pump out posts like a machine…

But don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean a total AI content copy-pasted… rather more of a factual newspaper that the audience out there might have already read somewhere or heard about beforehand as well. That type of generic content…

Then, I switched gears and got all personal on my blog, kind of like sharing diary entries.

And guess what? People started tuning in!

Turns out, when you talk about real stuff, folks listen.

In a saturation of generic “10 ways to XYZ” posts, folks are actually craving some real talk.

Personal insights or struggles are what keep people interested and hooked.

According to a study by Content Marketing Institute, blogs that incorporate personal experiences see a 42% increase in engagement compared to those that don’t.

Start journaling! Your lives are ever-changing, ever-evolving! So is your business, you’re always learning something! So start journaling them!

Get indulged in the latest updates and trends regarding your niche! Get them either from learning skills or reading about your niche extensively.

· Get some vibration in your monotonous life

· Learn different strategies and apply

· Grow yourself and start journaling the progress

· And your business will thrive eventually!

It will not only set your blog apart but also transform it into a platform for reflection and connection for your readers and later your consumers.

Engaging With the Blogging Community

Now, onto another secret I discovered: the underestimated art of commenting on other blogs through mindful reading and engaging with them.

I already have a blog written on mindful reading that might help you in lots of other ways as well. Check out. 👇

Yes! I’m talking insightful, thought-provoking comments that make people go, “Whoa, who’s this wise guy?”

It’s like leaving your calling card all over the internet, but in a non-spammy, totally cool way. 😎

This engagement is a two-way street. By adding depth to discussions on other blogs, you not only catch the attention of the original blogger but also that of their audience, potentially drawing them to your own site.

This practice is rooted in the principle of reciprocity.

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou

Remember, business is no different.

·Don’t just say you agree with concepts in the blog, add in it your own insights or knowledge that you have regarding that concept.

·We all have stories. Share your own experience or results from experiencing the concept talked about in the blog.

·Ask questions! Interact with the blogger, start a conversation and don’t forget to stay in touch. Come back occasionally and read more. Appreciate their blogs in your own blog posts.

Especially the initial stages of your blogging business ask for human characteristics to be shown in order to make an audience or grow it.

I’ll wrap it in one sentence here. Write like you’re chatting with a friend, engage like you’re genuinely interested (because you are, right?)
