A friend of mine started a blog about six months ago, and when I
talked to him about it back then, he was so excited to get going. When I saw
him again last week, I asked him how it was all progressing. He told me that he
spent a lot of time writing two articles which a total of 8 people read (not
including his family). He was so discouraged by the pageviews that he decided
not to pursue blogging anymore. He decided it just wasn’t worth his time.
It’s easy to feel lost in the world
of blogging sometimes, especially if you are a new blogger. It can feel like
everyone around you already has an established blog. If you have been blogging
a while, you’ve probably already learned the idea that “if you build it, they
will come” doesn’t always hold true. Sure, if you write some really powerful
stuff, you will attract some new visitors from time to time, but if you want to
build a more consistent, steadily-increasing blog following, it requires being
proactive about getting your blog out there where people can find it quickly
and easily.
What I’m describing is really the
intersection of blogging and marketing. Does that mean in order to have a
popular blog, you not only have to be a writer but also a marketer? I could
argue both sides of that, but overall, I would say the answer is yes. For some
people, pageviews don’t matter much and blogging is more of an introspective
inspirational endeavor. However, if pageviews matter to you, it’s important to
learn how to attract them from lots of different sources, or at least that is
my experience from writing over 2,700 articles here on Bit Rebels.
While keeping new bloggers in mind, I
came up with 10 Ways To Get More Eyeballs On Your Posts. Our
wonderful friends at NowSourcing designed my list into
this beautiful infographic. Of course, there are many more than 10 ways to
expose more people to your blog, but these ideas are only intended to get your
creative juices flowing. If you have other ideas which you think should be
added to the list, please leave them in a comment below. And, in case we
haven’t said it lately, thank you very much for visiting our blog!
