Sex Sells

Let’s face it. Sexy people get attention. Like the photo to the left. The sexy girl certainly looks like she’s got the attention of the two museum patrons in the foreground. Just what is capturing her attention? Is it her body? Her face? Or her stunning eyes? Whatever it is. It is keeping their attention.

And that’s what you want to do with your blog. Is your blog sexy?

Not sexy in the sense that you have racy content. But sexy in the sense that your blog is visually appealing. Is it something that invites people to stop and look? To stop and appreciate?
I’ve tried to make Semi Pro Blogging sexy. To do so, I wanted to have a visually pleasing and professional looking theme. Further, with each post, I strive to have either a stunning photo (Creative Commons licensed of course) or some graphic to indicate what series the post topic fall under.

That way, I avoid having just text on a post.

Of course, if you don’t have great content to go along with the sexy, then your blog would be the equivalent to the “dumb blonde”.

So if you are blogging. Don’t just blog with intelligent words. Blog with sex appeal. Capture your reader’s attention visually first. Then keep them with awesome writing.
