Tips For Increasing Your Blog Readership

Okay, so you have started your own blog. Maybe you are using this blog to share your thoughts on business. Maybe this blog talks all about your musings on life. Maybe it simply explores your thoughts on different books or movies. Regardless of what your blog covers, you are now beginning to wonder: What do I have to do to get some readers here? A blog can be a lot of fun, but it is not much use (and not much fun) if no one is reading it! Here are a few simple ways to start getting readers to visit your page.

1) Become an active reader of other blogs: You will find very quickly that bloggers often become extremely loyal to other bloggers. Usually, this loyalty is rooted in similar interests or ideas, but the loyalty is planted when one blogger begins to visit another blogger's page. Take the time to look around and find blogs that catch your attention, blogs that are a lot like yours. Get in touch with those who write these blogs, telling them about posts you enjoyed; spend time on these pages, reading posts and commenting. In this way, you are likely to encourage these fellow bloggers to visit your page as well, and they are likely to become a fan also.

2) Know what your blog is about: Too many bloggers fail by stretching their blog over too many areas. Aim to begin with a small area of focus, and grow this focus over time. If your focus at the beginning is too broad, you will have a difficult time attracting regular readers. Readers should know what they can expect when they visit your page.

3) Make sure readers can expect new posts: This is the area that kills more bloggers than any other! Although a lot of bloggers start out strong, blogging consistently, they start to fade after a couple weeks, because their readership has not yet reached the thousands. It can take months before your blog gains traction - months of mostly-unread posts and consistent writing. But eventually, more readers will trickle in, and as more trickle in, more will decide to stick around. In order for you to reach this point, however, you have to keep blogging regularly.

It can be both fun and beneficial to have a sizable blog readership. It can take some work to build that readership, but once it's in place, you will be in excellent shape with loyal followers, focused content, and consistent posts.
