Why Your Blog Should Have a Tagline?

by Anil Agarwal

This is BizOppers

Most of the blogs that I like to read have few things in common.

  1. These are all Indian blogs.
  2. Their blogging niche is the same as mine.
  3. MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE A TAG LINE

The third point above might sound a little strange to you. Of course, it is not a reason to read a blog. What I want to take your attention towards is the importance of tagline in a blog. I know many hugely successful bloggers who do not have a tagline but I think it is important to have one.

Have a look at my blog’s header. Just below the blog title, I have my tagline- UNLEASH THE BLOGGER IN U and I think this is the perfect line for my type of blogging and its content. I never say that this is a make money online blog. I never teach make money tricks. Tagline makes your readers mentally prepared of what they can expect to read in your blog.

And this is where I think I have the right tagline for my blog. I try to write the posts which I think will help you and help you build a better career as a blogger. If you follow my posts from the beginning, I am sure you can start a better blog without facing those problems which I went through. My posts will help you in UNLEASHING the blogger in you.

I have seen many bloggers who try to mislead the readers and search engines by including a hi-fi tagline like MAKE MONEY WITH ABC. It may work for first time visitors but for the regular people in the blogosphere, they know it is a plane lie. Not every blog is a make money blog, so beware of these liars.

For me, tagline are an important part of the blog, although not as much as the other aspects. Before you start a blog, think on the tagline and get a superb one for your blog.

As what you said almost everyone has it. If you don’t have it then obviously you’re missing out a lot.

You can also use tag line to announce some important information.

That’s a good thing you pointed out.

A Tag-Line represents what the blog is all about.

Taglines are really important because they’re just like slogans. You’ll want to have a name people can remember but a “jingle” stays stuck in your head forever.

Just think of old commercials which you can no longer remember the product but you certainly remember the little song that went along with it.

Tag line convey a strong message to a blog reader about the content that they’ll find if they decide to explore your blog. Tag lines are very important for a visitor to get the feel for your blog ..
