Are you looking forward to increase your readership and subscribers, have your content spread instantly and over a wide range, and make more money? Then all your need is to build a continuous fan following. Visitors might skim through your article for a minute or two and then leave- never to return. Therefore you need to have a list of some dedicated readers who read your blog on a regular basis, recommend it to their friends, and become your potential buyers.

Good traffic figures do not necessarily symbolize profit! Here I am listing 8 BEST ways to turn your visitors into dedicated readers:

Be Natural.

You need to be very natural while crafting your blog posts. Do not try to project a false image. Share your personal experiences, inject jokes, offer your choice of music – and this is the secret to a huge fan-following. People are looking for something original.

Do Not Offend Your Readers.

You need to give importance to your readers over everything else. Too many pop-ups, ads, social bookmarking buttons, subscription links all serve to put-off your reader. Keep the content at the forefront.

Avoid Too Much Of SEO Mania.

I understand the importance of keywords. But that doesn’t necessarily specify the need to stuff your articles with the keywords. If people happen to like your article, they would obviously share it on social media, blogs, email, and even through word of mouth.

Regular Updates.

Regularly update your articles with new content and related news. Consistent readers need consistent posting of articles.

Easy Subscription Process.

The process of subscription should be kept relatively easy. Do not create a multi-door crossing for your readers – rather simplify the process. A subscribed visitor is much more likely to get converted into a paying member. It’s so because your readers then get updated about your recent articles. Your content is regularly posted to them. So even in case they forget to check your blog, they are still reminded of the new content posted.

Surprising But True! Only a small percentage of your readers would actually know the significance of RSS or mail icon. So you must spell it out for them clearly explaining them the reasons they should subscribe.

Converse With Your Readers.

Your visitors would subscribe to your blogs only if you are approachable. Get in touch with your visitors. Reply to their comments and emails, send thank-you notes if they leave a comment or subscribe. People would regularly turn to something where they find a relationship being built.

Promote Your Forum.

Do not get tensed if your forum is in the infancy stage. Find out if there are visitors visiting your blog. You can use the stat counters for that. Create some interesting topics in your forum to bait your readers. Learn to promote your content and attract traffic. Have relevant content posted in your forum else your readers might just turn-off first-time, if they go to your forum and do not find enough content on it.

Monitor Your Daily Visitors By Installing A Visitor/stat Counter.

You need to keep a check on the number of visitors visiting your blog daily. This would help you know where you stand. Also, less number of visitors signifies that your content is not relevant or interesting.

Posting at least 1-2 new topics daily, particularly during your forum’s infancy stage, will create an impression that your forum is active and has much to offer. You can later bring down your posting to your forum to 3-4 articles weekly. Follow these techniques and surely you can turn your visitors into dedicated readers, and further to prospective buyers.
