Learn Digital Storytelling tips to increase your blog’s traffic
Have you heard of Digital Storytelling yet? I am not talking about reading your kids a bedtime story. Digital storytelling is a hot new content marketing trend. Is it really new though? In short: No. Storytelling has been around since we started writing on the walls of the caves we lived in. Following are 5 ready to use examples to get extra traffic to your blog.
The WHY of images
Content containing visuals generates 180% more engagement and 94% more views than content without. Add to that people can process visual information 60,000 times faster than plain text. In a time where we are flooded with huge amounts of information on a daily basis you’ll need visuals to grab the attention and make an impression that lasts.

A realtor could create a great looking album presenting the house he or she is trying to sell and make the ‘reader’ feel he’s actually there. Add descriptions, a floor plan and emphasize the strong points of the house. Make sure to include photos of the environment both in winter and summer.
Show what happens on an ordinary day in your business. Take the reader along for a sneak peek and show him the things he normally can’t. This will make your reader feel special and obliged to ‘give back’.
Imagine you could offer this to the company who asks you to do a review of their product. They’ll be sharing this within their social channels for sure, so make sure to include some links back to your blog and get some additional traffic.
