Blogs, are inherently read by Bloggers. That’s your target audience, regardless of what people say to me, I believe this. Why? Because they are the ones that interact in the vast realm of the Blogosphere. Their opinions have shaped what we call the Blog world today, be it on any platform or language.
Knowing this, what can we do to improve ourselves?
Think beyond the basic Blog
Other Bloggers know the basics already. They don’t need you to hold their hand teaching them how to write a post and click Submit. Use that knowledge and smarts you gain with owning a blog for more than a day, you often discover tiny tricks… tips if you will that others may not know. Share it!
Ideas and originality
A Blog is all about the original content it brings to the internet. Bloggers alike find news and other bits of common knowledge from a variety of already well established sites, make yours stand out with the information you bring to them.
Involve your readers
Being part of your Blog is something any reader would like to do; the best way it to involve them by way of comments or participating events. Carolyn Manning recently had a Virtual Conference which really got her readers active…it’s a lot of work to put together such an event though, so start small and build into weekly or monthly events.
Give your Blog a human touch
Odd as it may sound, there are bloggers out there that forget they aren’t only dealing with wires and circuits…but people. People who read and in some way are connected to what they read. They feel and react to what they see on their screen. Bloggers are a community and as such driven by the groups of Blogger friends they make. Keep them coming back!
Hopefully we can keep the Blog world interesting for a good while to come, keep blogging!
