Why You Need Emailing to Connect with Your Readers
I've always observed that some bloggers (Especially the newbie bloggers) ignored connecting to blog readers via email.
Most people believe emailing blog readers isn't crucial for building traffic. Many don't even believe it works at all, whereas it does. In fact, it's an awesome tool for building lots of blog traffic (If engagement is thoroughly done). Some rather concentrate on sharing blog posts with groups on social media, post on online forums as well as do other SEO activities.
Below are the reasons for which emailing your blog readers is greatly beneficial to the success of your blog:
- Email enables you to build engagement and connection with your readers
- Email gives you predominance over your traffic
- Email enables you to direct readers' attention to what you want them to know
- Email increases conversions and boosts sales
- Email lets you show readers the directions of life you want them to see
- Email lists let you earmark the categories of readers you want at specific times.
1. Email enables You to Build Engagement and Connection with Your Readers
So far email is idiosyncratic, you're free to engage your readers one-on-one without any fear of ranking implications at all. Your readers too can respond to your messages any time freely.
In your newsletters, you can attach any special document while sending an email or replying to a reader's email which you wouldn't have included if you were to engage readers directly on your blog. You have this ample chance because email is fleeting.
You'll eventually discover that you may have a couple of readers who send you emails dozens of time but who have never left a message on your blog.
(i) As you’re dealing with your entire audience here presumably this it an autoresponder type eM system rather than conventional?
(ii) If so, autoresponder is an additional cost to your business, at what stage do you recommend stimulating traffic by eM, from the outset or later?
Given the above, please are you able to say a little about resource requirements. One of the challenges one has in setting up business online is finding out what it is you actually require so you may budget for it. I’m looking at Mail Chimp right now to support my blogging activity, it’s free for lists <1,000 subscribers but I understand does not like affiliate programs?
Thanks for this training. I already have an free email set up for one website but no traffic. The other doesn't have have traffic but it will need a paid autoresponder.
