Five Steps To Gain More Followers
The difference between followers and traffic is the fact that followers keep coming back, while traffic is a general influx of visitors. Now becoming a blogger means building an audience, either a few loyal followers keep coming back as each new post is uploaded. Or an influx of various traffic keeps opening in opportunities for “followers” to keep coming back for new content.
Step 1.) Content and context is everything. If the content being presented on the blog is not updated, on schedule or relevant to the current topic at hand…do not even try. Think of blogging as a current event journalist, on top of the newest story and constantly keeping up to date with the news. Whether the topic you’ve chosen is fashion, celebrity, technology, music or general public knowledge become a professional in that field. Allow your followers to understand that the content and context being written and posted is efficent and worth the read through.
Step 2.) Stay on top of the current slang or word-usage for the topic currently in discussion. Simply speak the language your followers are currently speaking. Sometimes this means adapting a varied skill at going between a prolific way of speaking to internet language.
Step 3.) Readers can tell when the blogger is not personal or relatable. Even if the blog is about technology which essentially is the lesser of every emotion. Relate an experience to the discussion. Do not allow the content falter and read as if one copied a manual of stereo instructions. Based on the normal individuals attention span, personal is better when informative can start to sound repetitive.
Step 4.) Create a logo. For some reason a logo seems to be the last idea left in the waste basket. A logo defines exactly and brands the name in which you’ve decided to roll along with. A blog and logo are two peas in a pod. Always, always attempt to design a logo before launching a blog or website. Because once a logo is attached it will make life that much easier. Followers and visitors will be able to recognize and direct even more traffic towards your topic of discussion. Check out all the Make-Up Youtube Users who have made a name for themselves. Each and every one of them has a logo.
Step 5.) Copyright or mark any photos taken. If you intend to use photos from a photographer always add their link or watermark. By establishing a copyright rule to your blog and crediting all photos, your reputation will be rewarded. Not only will these photographs start following but eventually this can be seen as a promotion tool. Not only will they be helping you by promoting your blog but a vice versa action will take place by helping them out as well. This allows a slow network to build in favor of any website you’ve curated and run.
Five steps seems like a small number yet each one has a substantial pull and tug effect. One has to find the fine-tuning qualities to their own website to make their mark.
