As you all know, traffic is the most important thing for every blog. All the income, following, fame and brand you get are directly or indirectly related to traffic of the blog. But traffic in the sense doesn’t mean to get a click bombs daily, instead you should have a good number of loyal audience. How do you think bloggers become professionals, it’s the following in the audience and the readership that decides a blog’s future.So,you write great content, share it across the web, and eagerly wait for readers to find your blog.But day after day, nothing happens.Your readership isn’t growing and your social interaction is non-existent.Sound familiar?If you want to gain loyal blog readers, you must find a way to connect with people eager to consume and share your content.Below are some ways you can increase blog readers, build a loyal following and create raving fans.

Attractive Design

Even if you have great content, I doubt if people show any interest in reading your blog if you’ve been using a bad design. The primary thing that attracts a reader is the blog colors and design. If the design has a less importance, how do you think StudioPress is making more than $4000 daily just from its themes? Come on, ask yourself. Do you like to read on a blog that has very poor design or probably no design at all?

Tell Stories

Sometimes (or mostly), the best way to make the readers stick to your post is to tell them stories. We're not asking you to turn your professional blog into a storybook,but there’s nothing wrong with adding some personality into the content.

 Headings

Using headings in the article is the best way to increase readership on the blog. A heading can convey the same message which a whole paragraph does. Headings inside a post looks just like these which we’ve used here. We don’t even like to read any article which has no headings in it and when we see headings, we just go through the headings and like most of the other readers, We ignore the real content. We actually doubt, how many of you are actually reading this line?


Images 

We have a very huge database of images available on the internet. Instead of making your post look so boring, add some attractive and relevant images inside the content. You can also follow your own style by adding images inside posts. Like, some people use vector images and some others use text-based images  in  blog posts. Search for some public images and add them in your blog posts. Make sure that you are not using any copyrighted/licensed material as it is considered as plagiarism.


Content

Even if you have been using an awesome design, simple English, attractive titles and headings, no one are going to read your blog if it has low quality content. Content is the thing that matters in every blog. A blog itself is writing down the ideas/thoughts/views or whatever. So maintaining a good quality of the content is essential. on producing quality content. There are a lot of tutorials that can help you to improve your writing skills.

Guest Post

Writing guest posts for relevant sites within your niche offers many benefits. being a guest writer helps to find enormous value in sharing content with their established audience as well as building relationships with the incredible community of other guest bloggers.Are you ready to become a guest author?Begin by identifying established blogs that share content similar to your own. Not only can it increase the awareness and visibility of your blog, but interest and interaction on it as well.Use Google to find blogs that accept guest posts based on your keywords.


Build an Email List



Building an email list that allows you to consistently share your latest blog post with your subscribers is a simple, but often overlooked way to increase readership.The idea is this: give your blog readers the option to subscribe via email (not just RSS) and then create a blog notification email that immediately pings your subscribers and encourages them to check out your latest article.Use a tool such as MailChimp or AWeber to send an automatic notification each time you post to your blog.
