4. Build a Community for Your Readers
Have you ever considered building a community for your readers? Have you considered creating a better and wider avenue for your readers to ask questions, relate to other readers and get problems solved?
Well, it's high time you started doing that. Are you thinking about creating an online forum in order to build up a community for your readers? Not at all!
Creating or starting an online community could have been a very good step doing this, giving people an ample of chance to ask and answer questions though, you can still build a great community even on your blog alone by regularly creating high-quality and engaging content as well as keeping your readers engaged at all times.
Once you've succeeded in making your readers love your work, congratulations! You have established a community already. You've successfully built great fans who will always love to read your blog posts knowing that they're going to learn something beneficial and new to them.
5. Hear from Your Readers.
Are you the only one that's talking? Do you allow your readers to contribute their own quotas to the conversation at all? Do you care to hear what they would have to say on every post you create on your blog?
A great way in which your readers will actually know you're willing to hear from them is that you will always respond in earnest whenever they leave their own thoughts. This is how you build an engagement with your readers. And this is how you build a community for them.
