Whether you start a blog for profit or want to run it without thinking about money, one thing is clear: you want to speak up. And readers are needed to speak. Blogs that no one reads don't last long because authors need backlash. These tips will help you come up with a blogging strategy that will make it successful and popular.
Think about your readers
You may like your blog, but it is very important that readers like it. Before you add or change anything, think about how your readers will feel about it. This is especially important when it comes to changing the theme or interface. People don't like drastic changes.
Love your readers
Your readers may not agree with you on everything. They may behave rudely, troll you, or make malicious comments. Do not fight them, treat it with humor and relieve tension. This attitude allows you to win over even the most notorious trolls to your side.
Sequence
For starters, post regularly. From one ambassador a week to one a day: neither less often nor more often is it worth it. Once you've chosen your blog style and theme, stick to it. Once you start a project, finish it and share it on your blog. Readers will be waiting for your posts, thinking about how you cope with new tasks. The same can be said for the design of posts: be consistent and maintain the style.
Promotion is endless
You brush your teeth every day and don't think about another week - and you can finally stop doing it. So it is with the promotion of your blog. Your blog's audience is either growing or shrinking. The hardest part is to deal with the blog in the beginning, to start the wheel of its popularity. But then you shouldn't relax either, otherwise you will face stagnation.
Give constantly
A blog is a permanent feed of free content for readers. Especially at the beginning of its existence, when it is too early to monetize it. By creating a blog, you will be giving back something all the time. Share tricks and techniques, express your thoughts, breathe emotions into people. Sometimes it can feel like it's time to pause and get some feedback from your readers. But you can't stop, without posts, that is, "gifts" from your side, the project will not last long.
