Ending up like a boss with a strong conclusion helps more than what you think!

Writing conclusion is more of an art than a work.

For most of the bloggers, the conclusion may be the most neglected part. They think – well I have finished writing the meat, and my job is finished. They end up the post tail-less.

Match conclusion to readers’ mental state

Before writing the conclusion, ask yourself – what would be the mental state of the reader who reads my blog post till now. Are there any chances of them deciding anything? Has their thinking style been changed? What impact will my blog post have on my readers’ mind?

Write the conclusion accordingly.

Matching up the conclusion to that of your readers’ state of mind, you create a bond between you and your readers. Your readers think that theirs and your thinking is same.

The chances of them returning to your blog, looking for some new posts on your blog will be higher.

In other terms, conclusion is the best opportunity to shout out to your readers: “I have the same thinking style as yours”

In a nutshell…

Nothing but the wrap-up or takeaways.

Just give a synopsis of your entire blog post. Explain your 500 words in 50 words. While giving a summary of your blog post, make sure that you don’t repeat things that are already there in the post. Be concise.

Writing the essence of the entire post as the conclusion is both SEO and user-friendly.

End up inspirationally

Ending the conclusion with an inspirational quote works great.

“A quote speaks louder than the text in blogging”.

End the conclusion with inspirational quote

Effective great quotes have an everlasting impact on readers’ minds.

After reading the quote, readers think about it. They think about using its message in their life. They find the inner meaning in it.

They feel good while leaving your post.

The best place to find quotes is BrainyQuote. You can search for the quotes based on category. Some of the categories are Inspirational, Motivational, Funny, Positive, Life, etc.

Choosing the best quote to end your post is unto you.

Spark up a question

Including a question in conclusion, is one excellent way to get more comments on every post you publish. Sometimes readers who come to your blog to read and post a comment, may not be able to decide what to comment.

In conclusion section, you can help out the readers to comment on your blog by asking them like:

“That’s about me, what tools you use?”, Let me know in the comments.

It motivates them to leave comments on your post.

Ask them

Ask them to share the post. Include sharing buttons at the bottom of your blog. As soon as the readers finished your blog post they tend to share blog posts.

Ask them to subscribe. Do mention the benefits or offers they get from subscribing to your blog. Mention the benefits in a magnetic way.

You can also offer them the PDF version of your post. Hide the PDF file under social lockers. By this, your conclusion encourages them to share the blog post.

Include some epic links

This is the great way to guide your readers where to go after reading the current blog post.

Include related resources at the end of your blog posts. It helps reduce the bounce rate and increase on page user interaction in your blog. By linking out to more detailed resources, whitepapers or references, readers will be definitely thankful for you.
