What You Need to Know About Keeping Your Blog Fresh

Let’s face it, you don’t have to be a technical genius or a marketing wizard to build your own blog with all of the free and user friendly tools that are out there. Yet if you want your blog to succeed, you have to be consistent about keeping it original and fresh. In order to attract a regular following, your blog has to hold your readers’ attention not only once, but day after day. The simple tactics we’ll be covering in this article will keep your blog fresh so that visitors will be inspired to come back often.

Rewards Will Make Visitors Want to Come Back: You don’t only want to provide useful information to your readers, you want to build relationships with them as well. By rewarding your visitors when they visit your blog, you’ll be giving them a good reason to want to come back. Additionally, this helps your readers feel involved with your blog, which may inspire them to leave comments or make helpful suggestions. You may want to give certain subscribers, such as those who access your blog via RSS, a special reward of some kind. What kind of reward should you offer? If you’ve created any kind of information product, you could use this as a giveaway; you can also create such products from PLR material. With this reward you’re showing your readers that you value their loyalty. This approach will send more readers your way, and also make people more inclined to interact with you. Don’t Disable Comments: Since you want to get as much activity as possible, you should definitely allow people to post comments to your blog. Allowing comments makes your blog seem friendlier and more open to the world, which is what you should be aiming for. By encouraging reader participation in your blog, you help to keep it current and active. Today, quite a few users may access a blog through an RSS feed rather than by actually visiting. Even so, you should keep your blog open for comments, as you’ll always get a certain number of actual visitors. Besides this, you should put in the effort to go out there and comment on blogs within your niche, because this may lead to reciprocal favor and help you establish a relationship with other bloggers.

Get Your Readers to Get In Touch with You: One of the best things about running a blog is that the communication you share with your readers is easy when compared to other platforms; people can simply post a comment on your post to respond to your work. In order to get more people involved, you may have to go out of your way to invite them to ask questions, give their opinions or just introduce themselves. Visitors are much more likely to come back to a blog where they’re actively involved in the discussions. These tactics are what the professional bloggers use to make their blogs the best they can be.
