How do I get more readers for my blog?
December 15th, 2009 | by Conrad Walton |I stumbled upon this advice on “how do I get more readers for my blog?” and thought it was worth passing on.
Businesses should blog. The search engines love it and your readers love it. It’s hard to start out without many readers, but if you follow this advice, you’ll soon have readers.
The trick is figuring out what to give them.
“How do I get more readers for my blog?”
That’s a great question, it’s just the wrong one to ask first.
Want to know the right question to ask first when you find yourself with a blog and a hope that people will read it? Want to know the secret that I start every day on Stuff Christians Like with? It’s pretty simple.
Don’t ask “How do I get more readers for my blog?”
Ask instead,
“How can I give more to readers?”
The distinction is subtle, but I think it’s an important one. At the simplest level, a blog is just a gift exchange. People you may never meet from countries you may never visit, show up at your blog and give you the most precious resource they temporarily have in their hands – time. Whether it’s 30 seconds or 3 minutes, they offer you something really special, minutes of their day that they will never get back.
In return, you give them something.
