You set up a free blog account, write a few posts and nothing happens. No one seems to be reading, commenting, or caring about what you're writing. It takes some time to build up a blog audience, but there are a few things you can do at the start to build up blog traffic so your personal musings reach readers.
Instructions
Things You'll Need
- A blog
- A blog obsession
- 1 Blog regularly. The more you post, the better chance you have to reach an audience.
- 2 Add the blog to blog search engines. Create a good, concise description for your blog, as well as relevant keywords.
- 3 Write comments on other people's blogs. People are always grateful for a comment. More often than not, they'll click on your link and return the favor.
- 4 Comment on people's comments. A blog is meant to be a community. Respond directly to people's comments, either in the comments or in a new blog post. This will engage readers so they'll come back more often.
- 5 Post on forums. If you write a niche blog, post answers to questions on forums; put your blog address in your signature. Don't spam forums; make sure your posts are relevant.
- 6 Write to other bloggers suggesting a link trade. Put up a link list of your favorite blogs and let those bloggers know about it. They might just reciprocate.
