    The one purpose of starting a blog would be to solve problems.

    The truth is that your website is not for everyone.

    Once you can confirm this truth, half the battle of converting the correct prospects is won. So, how do you make sure that your site is converting people?

    Trust me, it takes a lot of tweaking and split testing to get it right. But there are simple steps you can take to get the most from your site.

    1. Have a can-do mindset

    Well, you have to see that a can-do mindset is the basis of great sites. When you're confident in yourself, you will have the capacity to think straight and create a plan for your design.

    You can not be helped by anything in this world, if you don't believe you can make it. People to see life and the vigor emanating from you, before you can convert them. When you write, there will be so much fire in your words.

    You are not trying to impress anyone with your site, but you make the world a much better place because you're in it to help them achieve their goals and in turn.

    Most bloggers have worked out in their heads that they cannot go beyond where they're right now.

    If you wear a positive prognosis at all times and work smarter, that same energy would spur into your blogging actions and your readers will begin listening to you.

    2. Use catchy call to activity designs download button design

    The second easy way to designing a blog that converts readers will be to use catchy CTA designs.

    For example, the typical and not-so-great text on your own subscription box says "submit."

    Then do not use that default option, if you'd like to assemble your email list faster or get people to see your webpage.

    You've got to alter it to something catchy, gain- driven and please, do not use trick or ballyhoo.

    You're still able to be honest with your call-to-activity layouts, and at the same time persuade the right folks to react to your offers. Your give away product would determine a suitable CTA design, so as to select it.

    For instance, if you want people to download your e-book, you could use any of these layouts for your button: "Download Here, Send My Ebook, Click To Download, Send To My Inbox etc."

    3. Make your post titles clear

    Using wordpress theme that is free is not a bad thing, but the challenge lies in making the layout of the blog and texts clear and acceptable to your readers.

    This sheet is what commands the text styles: colour, face, position, size, decoration et al.

    Get the assistance of a web designer - they will be able to help you attain a considerably better blog layout within thirty minutes.

    Basically, you'd want your post name to be Clearer, Bolder and Different from the text on the content. Also, your links need to be visible.

    I and you understand that readers are accustomed to blue underlined links. If your theme doesn't demonstrate this, you could always make it better by tweaking the Cascading Style Sheet (style.css).

    4. Activate 2-3 social media buttons

    Societal signals are one of the rank variables released by Google. If you'd like to experience a community and in turn increase your search rankings and traffic, then you've to engage your readers.

    The best thing to do is to activate Facebook, Google and Twitter share buttons. Actually, I have seen authority sites that have only the Google and Facebook or interchanged it with Twitter.

    Remember that simplicity is the greatest language your audience understands. When you design a website for your company, do not go with more than 3 share buttons. If you decide to use only one share button, which one do I recommend - Google plus.

    Blog design takeaway

    Never forget that a beautiful appearing blog without good content to engage subscribers is a total waste of time. On the other hand, when you're capable to provide content that is epic frequently, as well as give focus to quality layout, you'll eventually build a rewarding blog.
