Everyone has a talent. Some of us like to share it, while others don’t. Those who do like to share it, often use blogs as a medium to express themselves to the world. However, not every blog goes viral. With how vast the world wide web really is, grasping the attention of audiences is not all that easy. This problem is faced not only by home bloggers but by professional bloggers as well. So really, there is no need to panic at all.
Famous American author, Thomas Harris once said, “Problem solving is hunting. It is savage pleasure and we are all born to do it.”

Quality here has a broader definition. It includes your Headline Data Facts Number of words etc. 80% of the readers say, that they choose to read a particular article only because
of its title. So what does this imply? Spend the right amount of time developing eye-catching titles for each blog article. Your article should range between, 3000-10000 words to be among one of the most
shared posts. To sum it all up, exciting content should be posted twice in a week, to increase
traffic to your blog.

People like articles with pictures. There are more positives than negatives in using photos. Photos don’t just make an article look better and more interesting,
they serve an even more useful purpose. Keywords can be attached to them, which in turn boost the SEO for
your blog.
Note: Please don’t use pictures from Google as most of them are subject to copyright issues. Try other websites or you can even use your own pictures. The same thing applies to videos as well. -

Link To Websites

Always link another website or webpage that is mentioned in your article. Think of it simply as, helping out a friend. You are providing a kind of
promotion service for them for free. Someday they someone would return this good gesture .But just like that’s
one reason, there is a more ‘profitable’ one, to say the least. Google likes it when you link other websites (outbound) and thereby gives
you an boost in the SEO rankings.

Stick To Social Sharing

Make it easy for people to share your blog posts. Humans are social creatures. So use the social connections that we are good at making. Allow your readers, to share your content on popular social
media websites, like, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.

Entice Audience

Conduct exciting events on a weekly basis like contests and quizzes to keep the readers glued. Nobody says no to free things.
It would be a nice idea if some kind of a give-away could be distributed on a weekly or monthly basis.
Getting your readers to participate, will only enhance your relationship with them.
Short on funds? Still, no problem. Look out for sponsors or such people who can contribute a little for these gifts

Drive Interaction

Get interactive with your readers. You want to have a good relationship with them so the onus is on you to
make the first move. Invite them to leave comments. Make it easy for them to subscribe to you. Reply to them as soon as possible, they should not be kept waiting for
too long. Surprisingly, hospitality does matter, even for blogs.

Reach Out

Reach out to potential readers easily. How? If you already have a contact list, things aren’t that hard. Send an e-mail if you don’t have an e-newsletter to everyone on your
contact list with a link of your blog. Since they are already your customers, they already like your work. So why not, give them more of your work? Don’t be scared to share some of your work with esteemed
organizations that work in your line.
Note: This tip is for the more professional bloggers. However, home bloggers can also make use of this but they will need to purchase some kind of database. Since, they won’t necessarily be their customers, it’s not very useful.

Schedule Posts

Twitter accounts are actually useful. But it’s not that easy maintaining one.
You can use automation websites like, HootSuite to help you handle, not just Twitter but even Facebook.
It is important to follow and unfollow regularly, to increase awareness. Repeatedly tweet articles from your blog, thereby providing them access
to your blog. However, it is important to continue this process for sometime and also
retweet the old tweets as well. Don’t be too ashamed to ask for things like retweets, everyone does it.

Interact With Groups
LinkedIn is not too far away from Twitter. It is infact, equally important.
The best thing about LinkedIn is that, it lets you join up to 50 groups in total. Each group have hundreds and thousands of people.
Thereby, making your reach unimaginable, in many ways. Occasional posts with link to your blog, will definitely make a
difference.
Long Tail Keywords

Use long-tail keywords to drive traffic to your blog. This has become much more useful since the implementation
of Panda in 2011. Truth be said, the statistics are actually scary. 78% increase in
organic traffic after the optimization for long-tail keywords.
