More Tactics For Finding Quality Readers
This is the second part of the tutorial post titled Tactics For Building Readership" and we emphasized strongly on 8 different tactics for finding quality readers in the first part which are:
- Create content
- Work persistently
- Get high-quality links from niche related blogs
- Link to other bloggers in your niche
- Engage your readers passionately
- Join other bloggers in conversation through blog commenting
- Place your RSS button at the top of the sidebar; and
- Submit your site to search engines and blog directories
We have explained those tactics in the first part of the tutorial as shortlisted above, so, we shall now go straight into the second part.
Aside from the 8 tactics discussed in the first part of this tutorial, we're going to add 8 more useful and working tactics that will help you build readership for your blog making 16 working tactics altogether. Let's shortlist and discuss them below:
1. Make sure to update your blog frequently
2. Include your signature in your outgoing emails
3. Participate actively on forums
4. Follow the basic SEO principles
5. Market your business offline
6. Create an advertising space on your blog as a way of earning extra income
7. Write attention-grabbing comments on blogs
8. Be natural and make fun.
1. Make sure to update your blog frequently
In order to update your blog and increase its user experience, publish quality content at frequent intervals. The most important thing now is that search engines love content, and when frequently created and published, it gives your site better user experience and higher rankings in search engines.
Did you think that you have to write content every day in order to get better user experience and higher rankings for your blog? I never mentioned anything similar to that at all. You have a lot of the basics to fulfill such as the audience/visitor engagement on your blog, on forums, and on social media.
If you can plan your writing in such a way that the other routine tasks in your blogging schedule would not be affected, then go on with the daily writing. But if that would not be feasible with the other necessary things to be done in your blogging schedule, then writing every day might not be favorable for you.
As you say, regarding SEO, there is so much you can find on the internet. The problem is that for beginners, there is so much and it can be hard to make out what is good and not so good advice. Thankfully then, there are people like you that can condense some of the mysteries into understandable format for us not yet there.
Reading through your post I have a couple of questions though:
- Regarding participating in forums you write: "Especially on high Page Rank forums". Would you care to give a couple of examples of those forum and the attributes of such forums?
- Regarding SEO you write "then make sure to follow pros who have higher traffic". Do you have good tips on how to find these pros with high rankings?
