It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. In time, you should attract enough readers that you no longer need to work on getting more, instead, your existing readers will spread the work.
9 Tricks to Get More Readers
9.Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is longer and more detailed than typical articles, it is more than 500 words and generally give valuable instruction style information. Developing some of these types of articles will help to increase long term appeal and overall perceived value.
8. Write one new blog post per day minimum. They don’t all need to be a “pillar”, but insure regular and relevant posts, even if short some days. The best way to ensure your readers keep coming back is for them to see new content on a regular frequency, so they expect that if they check back in a day or two, there will be new information for them to read. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.
You don’t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you have a decent reader base, you still must keep your content updating and fresh. It’s the initial first few months that are key, you want to produce plenty of content to optimize your results.
7. Create a memorable domain name. Developing a good “Brand” for your web blog is key to being remembered and easily shared with others. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word.
6. Get Involved in the Internet community and visit and contribute to related blogs and forums. Commenting on other blogs and forums is one of the best ways to attract readers. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.
5. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.
4. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.
3 Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post that links to a list of related blogs, with the intention being to aggregate content for readers. Many bloggers link to carnival blogs, because it helps their ranking and generally results in an increase in readers.
To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.
