Yeah. No doubts, starting with a quote is unique, and has its own perk on readers. I have seen many bloggers using this technique to add some spice in their content, and overcome the readers bored doom.

BEST IS to customize the quote to make it highlight a valid point.

Great post! I’ve used brainy quote quite a bit – they have pretty much every quote! People can relate to quotes, because of that I think it increases user engagement in almost any type of blog post.

Thanks for posting this.

I used to love going on brainy quotes and reading up on what people I admired had said. But I had never previously thought about quoting others on my blog. If I am writing a review of a particular product, would maybe including quotes from someone else’s review be a way of going about it?

Thanks everyone!

@Joseph — that’s a really important point, and probably one for me to address in another post… 🙂

@Jason — so pleased this was useful to you, and best of luck with your company blogging.

Thank you for the great tips there, Ali. I remember reading a blog and witnessing the author using the same quotes you did and I was curious how he did it. I’m glad I know now and will definitely be using this in my company’s blog from now on! Thanks again, Ali.

Many times I copy a quote in may article mainly from this site. Of course I wrote your name and give a link to your article.
Thank you.

I think using quotes in your blog posts is a fantastic idea. It’s something I do frequently but not enough now.

An added benefit to using a quote is it gives you added authority because there’s another expert backing you up.

Hi Ali,

Formatting makes all the difference.

Excellent tips!

Timely too, as I started publishing my own inspirational quotes via my blog recently.

Block quote, credit me, brand me and prosper.

Thanks!

I use quotes frequently on both of my blogs and find them to be super helpful and powerful tools. Great tips! (my biggest pet peeve is when I see people use quotes from songs, etc and they don’t attribute them or put quotes around them!)
