5 Super Tips To Make Your Blog Live Up

Why does not anyone read your blog?

• Because your content is boring and does not contribute as much as you think (it’s hard to admit, but sometimes it’s what happens)
• Because you work a lot on the content and not the diffusion, Google will want you with good content, but love yourself and share it
• Because you share to some extent, you’re afraid to open yourself completely and that your audience knows you too much
• Because you are new to this and do not know how to boost your content and your blog in general
• Because you are focusing on a very small niche and you only reach a few
• Because you have no commitment to your blog, you do not have an established frequency
• Because it is a problem to navigate your blog, it is unattractive and therefore not very useful Because it’s too slow or does not look good on mobile

Let’s fix it! 5 super tips to get visits

Create a content plan

If you do not know the contents that you are going to generate, it is complicated that you have your audience loyal. It is important that you work very well the contents that you want to create for your blog. My recommendation is that you are clear:

• The main and sporadic categories
• The most useful content formats (Guides, Tutorials, Downloadable, News, etc …)

Once you are clear about this you will have to plan in a calendar like this one:

Make your regular readers fall in love with you and to be your ambassadors

The readers that you have even though they are few can be your best ambassadors, you can mingle a lot and give them what they want. For example:

• Turn your questions into posts for your blog,
• Ask them what they want and give it to them, you can do a survey and then generate your next contents with reference to their interests
• Analyze how they reach your website with Analytics and generate more related content
• Analyze what they tell you in your posts to see how you can improve and build loyalty

Change the look & feel of your blog

Maybe the design of your blog is not the most attractive, to change this I recommend you implement the following changes:

• Change the template of your blog for a new, more modern and cleaner
• Change the graphic line of the headers of your blog
• Change the typographies of your blog by new more attractive and above all readable. You can have two different ones, one for titles and another for texts
• Increase the size of your typography to make it easier to consume your content

Consider getting a fast connection to speed up the process

Blogging can be a long process of uploading photos and waiting them to publish. Having a fast broadband should be one of your priorities. You will save time uploading content, but also you will browse faster for new content!

Probably the best way to check your actual connection and see the improvement that a broadband can bring you it’s to test it. For that, we recommend speedtest, the most well-known speed checker.

And remember, not everyone can enjoy having a fast connection, so you should check the loading speed of your page. Charging your website with plugins and advertisement can be tempting but the real way to succeed it’s to find an equilibrium between usability and fast loads for your readers.

Bet on a good email marketing strategy

Your regular readers do not have to enter your blog every day to see what you have new, so you need to capture their data to be able to share the best content later. I leave some ideas for recruitment and content in Email Marketing :

• Top bar on all pages of your blog
• Widget in the sidebar of your posts
• Widget at the end of your posts
• Offer downloadable content in exchange for subscription to the newsletter

What kind of emails to send?

• An email for each new post you make, but, it’s not about doing something automatic, it’s about writing a personalized text that includes the link to your new post.
• A compilation of the last posts, it’s a different way to send a mix of content (yours and external)
