Use short paragraphs.

When the paragraphs are very long, the reader finds themselves having to read the paragraph again and again to make sense of it. It can get quite confusing and feel like too much hard work to read.

Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header.

If your title can capture someone's attention or curiosity you're already halfway to getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but are also short and concise.

Use titles like, "How to make her swoon and blush" .You could also use titles that can you're your readers something they want, for example, "Make her yours in six easy Ways". This type of title reaches out to the reader's emotions and makes them interested.

Keep their interest from the start to the finish.

Use real life situations that the reader can relate to. Use good descriptions and metaphors to clarify your point, but avoid doing it to the extent that you confuse your reader! Appropriate use of personal or familiar examples with powerful analogies or metaphors can make it easy for them to relate to what you are talking about. This means that the reader is engaging with you and will be encouraged to read on.
