How to Get Traffic to Your Blog
Now that you have a blog and some traffic how are you going to keep the traffic, and make it work for you? This is where some people drop the ball, but not you. You are going to follow some of the following steps and optimize your traffic.
Use your email effectively. This can mean a couple different things. You can set up your RSS so it can be delivered via email. People who like to read in email will use this option and it will make them happy. You can also build a list of readers via an autoresponder. You can send them a teaser email through the autoresponder to get them to come visit and read your blog.
Have people opt in. When you give something to your readers for free, as long as it is something they are interested in they will give you their email address. Once they have done this you have the opportunity to send them emails. You can send them more free material, like a course related to your subject, but you can also send them affiliate offers which will make you some money.
What do your readers want? Do you know? If you don't you better find out. You can use a simple poll to find out what your readers want more of. Once you know, give it to them. This will create a great relationship between you and your readers. When readers love you they tell others about you.These links and recommendations will only help increase your traffic.
Join the club. The club of blogs that is. There are quite a few blog networks around where you can get together with other bloggers in your niche. By joining these networks you can swap links, and end up sharing traffic. You can get some good feedback on your blog as well as new ideas for topics to blog about.
RSS is king. Although it is pretty new, RSS is an up and coming technology. You should be using it to the fullest. Make sure your RSS feed is clearly displayed on your site. You can get RSS buttons in many places. Your readers can then subscribe to your feed, and you know all your posts are going right to them. You can also use your RSS feed to build links by submitting to RSS directories. These links will build each time you post which is great.
Maintaining a relationship with your readers can seem complicated, but it really isn't. You just need to keep them in mind while you are blogging, and write what they want or need. The more you make your readers happy the more they will tell others about you, which leads to more traffic. It really is a win/win.
