Blog to Make Money

March 11th, 2010 · No Comments

In every bloggers life comes a special day – the day they first launch a new Blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader – you. 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. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called traction, which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.

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. Developing some of these types of articles will help to increase long term appeal and overall perceived value.

8. Post a new blog post daily. They don’t all need to be a “pillar”, but insure regular and relevant posts, even if short some days. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.
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 have a decent reader base, you still must keep your content updating and fresh. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

7. Create a memorable domain name. Developing a good “Brand” for your web blog is key to being remembered and easily shared with others. Blogs are often personified, so your domain needs to be catchy and easy to remember.

6. Start commenting on other blogs. Commenting on other blogs and forums is one of the best ways to attract readers. 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. Place links within your Posts, linking to other blogs. 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. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

3 Submit one of your pillar articles to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. 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. Continue to Produce more 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 is much more to learn and many other things you can do. However, this article gives you a great base to start from.
