In every bloggers life comes a special day – the day they first launch a new Blog. Initially, you will be blogging to yourself. You may get a visit from a few friends, maybe a family member or two. One of the most popular Blogging platforms is Wordpress Blog

For best results, go through this list from top to bottom. In time, you should attract enough readers that you no longer need to work on getting more, instead, your existing readers will spread the work.

9 Tricks to Get More Readers

9.Prepare 5 “pillar” articles. A pillar article is longer and more detailed than typical articles, it is more than 500 words and generally give valuable instruction style information. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

8. Post a new blog post daily. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The best way to ensure your readers keep coming back is for them to see new content on a regular frequency, so they expect that if they check back in a day or two, there will be new information for them to read. This helps encourage them to subscribe, so they remember to come back.
You don’t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. It’s the initial first few months that are key, you want to produce plenty of content to optimize your results.

7. Create a memorable domain name. Developing a good “Brand” for your web blog is key to being remembered and easily shared with others. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word.

6. Get Involved in the Internet community and visit and contribute to related blogs and forums. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

5. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry – it’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

4. Encourage comments on your own blog. Comments on your blog posts tells new readers that previous readers enjoyed the read enough that they well compelled to say something. This helps to compel new readers to read your post right through. Closing your post with a question or request for reader input is a good way to get comments. Be sure to respond to comments as well.

3 Submit one of your pillar articles to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post that links to a list of related blogs, with the intention being to aggregate content for readers. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.
To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com and other article directories. This is primarily powerful for increasing your incoming links and subsequent blog ranking, so you probably won’t notice results right away.

1. Write more pillar articles You can do everything I have mentioned in this post. However, if you don’t produce valuable content the process won’t work.

There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.
