If you’re wondering how to win at writing under the new MPP earnings system, take heart. My top 3 posts this week will give you some very concrete tips for how to attract more readers, improve your writing, and boost your reading times.

Images are Critical to Attracting Readers

One of the things that’s become even more critical under the new MPP system is convincing readers to choose your post to read in the first place. You’ve got to get them to click on your post out of all the posts on the page. I wrote a post awhile back about why headlines are critical and how to improve them, but the other, even more important component to getting potential reads is your feature image.

Rachael Hope gives some great tips on just how to choose the best stock images to use for your post. These aren’t generic tips either which is what I loved about her post. She gives you concrete tips on which colors to choose, size considerations, some tips for getting creative with searching for images and even some not so well known sites for finding great images. Check out her post below:

Boost Your Read Times

In addition to the best headline and great images for your post, you’ve got to be able to hold the attention of your reader once they’ve clicked into your post and scrolled past your image. Keeping the reader on your post as long as possible is how you win under the new MPP system. The best way to do that is to make sure your post isn’t boring! Duh.

Gone are the days when even mediocre writers could earn money by getting folks to clap up your post in return for clapping on theirs.

Under the new MPP system, reading time counts big. Because of this, more people are reading only what they like and what holds their attention.

Readers aren’t as willing to slog through bad writing or boring topics as they were before. Now readers, who under the old system might still skim your post even if it was boring, will click away if you don’t hold their attention.

But T.S. Johnson gives you 5 very concrete ways to think about your writing so you can avoid writing the same things everyone else is writing and write something that holds readers on your post all the way through. Check out how to keep the boredom out of your writing and boost your read times below:
