The key takeaway from these examples is that fundamentals matter. You don’t need special skills or advanced strategies to run a successful Shopify blog. So Let’s summarise everything we’ve learned.
Here are 5 essential takeaways for Shopify blogging…
Products are the backbone of your Shopify content. Write about them often, and embed them into your posts where possible. This makes it easy for customers to seamlessly switch from browsing to buying once they’re ready.
Visuals are essential for keeping your blog posts lively and engaging. They are more effective at capturing viewers' attention than text. Use them throughout your blog as feature images, product images, diagrams, and everything else.
CTAs are the linchpin that makes it all work. Tactical use of CTAs within your content is essential for actually getting customers to buy something. Try to be creative with your CTAs - use context-appropriate naming, make them stand out by colouring them something vivid like red or orange.
Designing your blog with user experience in mind is essential for making your blog ‘click’ with customers. To this end, make sure your blog is functional, visually distinct, fast to load, easy to navigate, and thematically consistent.
Your blog content serves two important purposes - to nudge customers to convert and to help search engines divert traffic to your Shopify store. As you can see from the examples, your content should be divided into sections via headings, it should contain relevant SEO keywords, and should provide value to customers.
The easiest way to create beautiful Shopify blog posts is to use Bloggle, the best-rated Shopify blogging app.
Bloggle provides a selection of blog post templates for quick content creation. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it.
You can even use the experimental AI text generation feature to generate content on the fly. Just select AI Generated Content from Bloggle’s post-creation wizard.
All of the examples we’ve discussed were made using Bloggle. Using these blogs as inspiration is a great way to get started with Shopify blogging. It’s also a great way to learn about blog post design.
If you’re keeping track of your blog’s performance (and you definitely should), you can select posts that are performing well, and turn them into templates.
