Have you ever written a blog article about which you were quite proud and received… silence? Indeed, everyone of us experiences it. Blogger friend, don’t worry, though; we’re here to make your quiet site a vibrant gathering spot for learning and conversation.
Making Your Blog Amazing: King (and Queen) Content
To keep readers coming back for more, your site requires amazing stuff first and foremost. Consider yourself a tech wizard, a traveler, or a DIY guru—a celebrity in a certain field. Choose an interest you have and can impart to others. Did you realize that narrowing your attention to a certain subject might really increase your popularity? According to Social Media Today, specializing may increase your “brand loyalty” by an astounding 64%!
The secret is then constancy. Make time to upload new material since readers want to read new things. Whatever works for you, post as often as possible—every day, once a week, or twice a month. HubSpot research demonstrates that companies who blog more frequently—say, fifteen times a month—get far more traffic than those who only do so once a month. Try creating a “content calendar,” which is a fancy way of stating a schedule of your writing topics and posting dates.
And last, readers will stick with your site if it is written in an understandable, entertaining style. Make your headlines compelling, use eye-catching images to break up your content, and don’t be shy to let your personality come through—most people just have a few seconds to pay attention online!
Promoting Your Blog on the Internet
All right, now that you have great stuff, let folks see it! This is the point at which promotion is useful.

Flying with Social Media Butterfly
Getting readers for your site is made easy using social media. Post to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Posting dull links, though, is not enough; write something compelling that will entice readers to click and read more. Join online communities pertaining to your area of expertise and use those “hashtag” items to reach a larger audience. Social media startup Buffer reports that tweets containing photos receive far more views and retweets, so think about including interesting photos or videos in your social media messages.
Developing Friendships Online
Assembling an online community is a terrific approach to engage prospective readers and demonstrate your expertise. Locate niche-related forums, Facebook groups, and internet debates. Explain things, respond to queries, and perhaps link to your blog entries that go into further detail on the subjects being covered. This promotes backlinks to your fantastic blog and gives you the impression of an authority!
