How To Breed Or Actify Loyal Readers To Your Blog
According to blog pundits the success of a blog very much depends on its level of traffic. More traffic means more readership and likely to purchase your goods or services that provided in your blog. There are basically 2 schools of thoughts in attracting traffic to your blog : one is by writing good content based on your niche or topic and let the search engine ‘organic’ traffic to catch up with your blog. The other is to solicit visitors from social networking and social bookmarking sites. In my opinion you need both avenues.
Purpose
The success of a blog is subjective. Not all bloggers blog for the same reasons. The aim varies. One blogger might throw out their feelings like writing on a conventional diary. Some go for showmanship - to show their innate talents freely without a fuss. You do not need any kind of certification to enter into blogging. It is not a school or instituition. Others stumble upon in this blogosphere and will want to try out their online destiny. Most bloggers want to monetize their blogs in a later stage. All of these agendas are not unethical or wrong. Every blogger needs to clearly understand his direction in blogging. Only then he will understand the importance of traffic maximization or bringing in loyal readers to his blog.
I come to this far in blogging and started it in 2004 while I had found the time and the opportunity to surf the net. I stumbled upon Steve Pavlina blog and was very much interested in his writing and his opinion about blogging. blogging is now something I do it very often and spend most of my leisure time creating content for readers. I will want to impact goodness to the people of the world. This is the least I can do to help people who might be living a life not congruent to their abilities. Who may have had a dream but not fullfilled. Who will want to excel in life but some things are blocking their paths. Who does not know how to arrange their priorities in life. My job here is to give them a second to none arrangement so that the melodies of their songs of life are nice to hear and sellable.
What interest me most in blogging is that I have the natural flair to influence people in a positive way. Positive growth is what everyone searching for. If you are one of them you can start from my about page.
Content
Content is a natural king in a blog. As a blogger, you need to knead all the information you can get and mould a unique content of your own. People re visit your blog if you have that content that ’stands out from the crowd’. You might be writing the same topic but the approach and analysis of that topic has to be different. Only then visitors become your loyal readers.
You need the power of persuasion to bring people to put up their own comments and additions to the topic discussed by asking them the right questions. So what do you think content play in boosting traffic to your blog?
Content can emanate from a chosen product. Selling a product can also be considered content for online users. If you are selling a product that is much needed by people – you have a chance to bring in loyal readership instantly. The aging world population is predicted to have an imbalance aged versus youth. As countries become developed and associate themselves with technology, there will be caution in making babies and declining birth rates. When this happen, a blogger can predict to write contents and selling products which touches on anti aging cosmetics and supplements. If that is the case I think I am on the right niche. 
Adhere to the following guidelines in your writing :
1. Write regularly with consiousness and interest, or recruit additional writers.
2. Consider your audience’s needs at least as important as your own ideas for the site.
3.Be willing to stay focus, shift your style or approach and show confidence in your writing.
Solicit Visitors
Social networking sites are websites where people get together to chat, interact, exchange ideas and develop new relationships. It is like the cyber town square. It is the virtual social environment. You can create a personal profile that reveals your personal interest. Other people can access and read your profiel online, to learn a bit more about you. In your profile focus your interests on the topic or niche of the blog you wish to promote. You can then invite profile readers to visit your blog or site where they can learn about your topic of personal interest. Here are the top ranking SNS :

Social bookmarking sites are a little different. The following sites basically require you to create account that allows the user to post ‘bookmarks’ to the sites that they like- to share the preference with other users. Your site becomes noticeable whenever you leave a signature of your site when bookmarking other sites. the important key to successful social bookmarking is to use right keywords as tags. You will also likely be able to bring visitors to your site through such keywords.
