One of the most exciting things about blogging is gaining new followers and knowing your content is being read. If your blog following is a bit lackluster consider the following tips:
1. Make subscription easy. The easier you make it to subscribe to your blog, the more frequently readers will do it. You may already provide an option to subscribe by RSS but if someone doesn’t know what that is or gets confused along the way, they may give up. By making an email subscription available, your blog becomes accessible to different levels of computer users.
2. Help people find it. Encourage people to visit your blog by adding a link to all of your outgoing correspondence including your email signature line. Also, add links to your Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter profiles.
3. Be active in the blogosphere. Reading and commenting on other relevant blogs can help drive traffic to your blog. Write meaningful and helpful comments on other blogs and include a link back to your blog. This can encourage valuable relationships with other bloggers and will also be seen by their readers.
4. Make a commitment to blog daily. The more frequently you blog the more attractive your blog is to search engine crawling. Frequent posts will also give your current followers more reasons to revisit your website and possibly pass it on to friends.
5. Brag a little. Take time to submit your best blog posts to bookmarking sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon and Delicious. This will help people find your blog and if they like what they see, it makes it super easy for them to come back again and share it with friends.
These tips don’t require much tech savvy and can be highly effective in increasing traffic to your blog. Success will come from being committed, enthusiastic and interesting.
