As you start your blog, you wonder if it will be the next greatest invention that everyone must have. Did you pick a great domain name? Did you install every plug-in you could find? But if your blog doesn’t grow over a short amount of time, you may begin to wonder why.
When first setting up a blog, you need to focus on your niche. Who is your blog directed toward? What age group? What income? What need? Narrowing down your target audience will target your blog to those who will read it. By targeting your market, bloggers will find your blog and start reading it. Once there, it is up to you to keep them there.
To keep readers on your blog, you need to provide them with great content. What’s the one thing that people keep asking you? Do you have a product or service that is uncommon that people don’t know about? Do you have a common product that everyone sells but you have a unique angle about that product? You can let people know through your blog.
If you wander off and rant and rave about a topic, your readers will wander off, too, and might not come back. Keep great content on your blog and keep it focused. After all, great content will increase the numbers of readers. The more readers mean more traffic. More traffic means more sales. Focus on that. How do you increase traffic?
