Thanks for sharing, Rajesh.

Even though all of the posts in a series are connected (because they cover one topic), each post in your series could target a different keyword.

Brilliant article! Content series are brilliant at retaining readers. People want to return to the blog to read what’s next. It’s also a great way to cover a lot of content that’s too big to squeeze into one post! Can’t wait to read more.

I really appreciate the idea on planning for being away, or even just writing a series and being set for the week.

Thanks for the article!

Stefanie
Thanks a lot for the idea. Sometimes I had to discard portions of my writing due to SEO requirements. Leaving out such portions where I had put in effort, was heart-wrenching at times. But with this idea, one can go on elaborately with the individual sections and later break the post as you told.
Thanks again.

Creating a series of articles is a brilliant idea as it takes away a lot of the anguish that can be around when trying to brainstorm new ideas all of the time. I can see some huge benefits in terms of pulling visitors back to the site in anticipation of the next installment. From my perspective the biggest issue would be coming up with a big enough idea that could then be fleshed out into your suggested components. Thanks for the concept and the installment ideas.

Sounds like a cool experiment!

You can see what people prefer and go from there …

I’ve never published a fiction series versus start-to-finish fiction posts, so I’m curious to see how it goes!

And I definitely understand wanting to cram everything into one post — and sometimes that’s really the best choice (for nonfiction too)!

The option of posting a series can be quite freeing, though, and help spark new creative ideas. 🙂

I always feel this silly need to cram everything into a single post in case people don’t come back for the rest. But I actually used to run three-part fiction serials, spreading a story across three weeks instead of expecting someone to sit and read a short story in one sitting! Might have to try that again…

“Fewer people, tighter relationship.”
Great words. I am writing to families bound by silence and stigma surrounding mental health issues. I want them set free and others educated so we can better help.
Thanks for the help in getting clear direction in building a follow through line.
