The Correct Way to Find New Readers for Your Blog

A very popular blog will always have a high level of activity with readers commenting, discussing, sharing and helping your blog be an active member of the blogging community. So then why are some blogs so popular and highly trafficked while there are others who do not have such loyal bases of readers? Why do some blogs get such high levels of attention while the other blogs seem more like deserted islands? Traction is the answer to these questions: bloggers who put honest and real effort into getting more readers for their blogs enjoy much higher levels of traction than the blogs of bloggers who do not make this concentrated effort. In this article we will teach you a few simple methods for gaining a higher readership for your blog.

There are all sorts of ways to get people to visit a blog at least once but that's not the point; what you want is to turn those one timers into loyal readers who return to the blog again and again. One way to do this is to gain more RSS subscribers, and in order to do that you need to educate your visitors/readers about the benefits of subscribing to your blog via RSS, and giving them a fair idea as to how it works. Involving yourself in discussions on forums is a fantastic way to gain more leverage for your blog posts because the people who are active on forums are also likely to be active in comments sections as well. Creating new and informative threads on blogs and simultaneously giving honest value to the other members in your forum can help make them curious about you and the approaches you take. This way you get to create relationships with your target market through the forums and channel that interest into traffic for your blog.

You need to try to meet and connect with bloggers in your local area because you'll be able to bring in traffic through joint ventures and networking with these people. It's good to actually meet with these bloggers to see if there aren't projects you can work on together, trade ideas back and forth, etc. This will help you open the doors for getting higher quality visitors to your blog and that means that you will have lots more opportunities to gain loyal readers. While this tactic probably isn't all that appealing to you, when you actually go through with it, you'll see how far it can take you.

There is so much that can be done to grow a blog in terms of traffic and finding new readers but the thing that you have to be able to offer first is high value on a consistent basis. Once your blog gains lots of esteem from your target audience and becomes well known for offering high quality content on a consistent basis everything else will just fall naturally into place. So what exactly are you sitting around for? Go ahead and put these tips to work and watch as more readers flow in to your blog.
