Thanks for your reply GSchooner,
A good title indeed is a must, I also read about making it a Promise can help to peak the interest of you as a reader.
Also List posts also work well, and we also use some social channels to build up a following.
We for example have a growing Twitter following, where we share things like announcements to
blog posts I wrote, and We also are on YouTube we for example created a Special Promo Video
for a Tote Bag Design,
(You can read more about how I made this video, (and how I
created a special (important) Attention Grabbing Tumbnail Image
for this Video) on my Movie Blog.)
Thanks for mentioning building up a following, talking about building up a following;
feel free to Follow us on Twitter, we announce engaging blog posts and more I promise !

We have several interesting
Twitter-Serials, and a growing following on our Twitter.
With Twitter the Hashtags are great to make us findable, when you
search on specific keywords.
The great thing is that we also have many Twitter followers that
have many followers themselves, and they frequently Re-tweet our Tweets scaling our audience,
especially when we have multiple Re-tweewers for our Tweets
we suddenly have a much bigger reach !
