7 Ways to Build Your Blog Audience

I was sprucing up my blog design recently because, well, it was time. You have to keep things fresh.

That's just a simple thing you can do to keep your audience growing. Here are some other easy ways to build your audience.

7 Ways to Build Your Blog Audience

1. Guest blog often. You'll be read by a different audience for the most part.

2. Join a group blog and reference your own blog.

3. Blog often on a consistent schedule.

4. Always interact with your blog visitors.

5. Install a translator plugin to make your blog more accessible to those who speak a language other than English. Most blog platforms offer a widget for this. If not, you can buy a plugin for very little.

6. Change your blog design if you've had the same design up for a few years. There are tons of free templates or themes available. Just do a Google search to find free ones. You can even buy a distinctive template for a low fee. If you use a pre-made, customize it so it doesn't look like everyone else's blog.

7. Try to engage your audience by asking questions, offering prizes for specific actions, and use a clear call to action.

By the way, how do you like the new design? Leave a comment with your email, and I'll send you a coupon for a free book.

Takeaway Truth

Blogging should be fun. If your audience isn't growing, maybe it's time to shake things up a bit.
