Many people dream of getting a fan following. But most of us don’t know how to have it. Several years back I also had this drive in my mind that swayed me to start my blog. And you won’t believe, I am having a huge fan following these days. I am quite happy with my blog now and wanted to share this with you.
A blog is perhaps the most important and also the most efficient way to build a fan following for yourself, which, in technical terms, is known as building an audience.
The internet is a chaotic place, with heavy traffic. Setting yourself apart from everyone else online takes some serious dedication and focus.
But the problem is, time is short.
With our busy lives and busy jobs, we hardly get any time to do anything else. Hence, I have come up with this article to tell you about how you can build a strong audience for your very own blog.
Read on to learn more on the fastest levels possible.
Keep your focus on some people, not a lot
You should always concentrate on the quality of your blog, rather than focusing on the size.If several thousand people follow your blog, but don’t visit it regularly, or don’t benefit from the ideas you have uploaded on your blog, then so many followers have no financial and aesthetical meaning whatsoever.
Instead, if you have ten followers who are quite active with your blog, then that will be a much profitable bunch for you.
Such dedicated followers can add up to your AdSense dollars account quite quickly, and start cashing out in no time.
Keep the blog obsession oriented
If your friends and loved ones tease you for doing something that is considered to be extremely obsessive and geeky, and then it’s time you make use of this obsession.Create the blog with the same theme. Once people who understand your ideas start following your blog, your passions won’t seem that much geeky.
You will see that your geeky passion will make you unique and help you stand apart from everybody else on the internet. You may have been embarrassed about your obsession in the past, but it is time to come out of the closet.
Involve yourself in a community with relevance
Whenever you go online to build online, make sure to spend some quality time with your cohorts, followers and mentors. Go through blogs of high-quality nature that fall in your genre.Go through blogs of high-quality nature that fall in your genre.
If you want your blog and yourself to be successful, you need build partnerships and personal relationships with certain veteran bloggers.
If these bloggers live in your city, meet up with them, and discuss them about the prospects about your new blog and what you can do to get a stable audience and fan following.
Always be ready to answer the questions of your followers
Your followers will always ask you questions about what you have posted on your blog, or about the genre you are working in and blogging about.You should always be ready to answer the questions asked by any and every follower. If you can’t answer these questions, then your audience will have no reason to follow you.
If some newbie is confused about starting a blog, try recommending some free blog sites where he/she can start and understand how to work with any CMS.
If you want to maintain the size of your audience, and increase it even further, then you should always have the answer to these questions.
Your audience will see that you know what you are blogging about.
Always be original
Make sure that the things you upload are unique and entirely original. No one wants to follow a plagiarist and no one wishes to read plagiarised content.So make sure that whatever you upload is your original creation. Even try to make the images that you upload are original.
Hire a photographer or click all the pictures yourself.
Also, be different and unique about what you upload. If your content is similar to any other web site, then your audience will not visit your blog. So make everything unique.
Be inspired right from the start
You can wait for years and years, and you will not find any inspiration, that may encourage you to create a unique blog.Instead, make it a point to look for inspiration inside you. There is always some point or the other in your life or your experience that may inspire you to write your blog.
External motivation may often lead you to create something incredibly annoying.
But if you use your past experiences to write in the blog, then you will surely succeed, as your audience will like your content and share it with friends.
Have everything planned right from the start
Before you even start your blog, plan ahead and figure out what your blog is intended for.Figure out the genre, the niche, the topic and the theme of your blog.
If you wait to plan things till after you have started your blog, then your audience will surely get confused with your progress, and end up unfollowing you.
Hence, it is always a smart idea to figure out what you want to do before you do it. This is the real sign of an intelligent blogger.
Perfection will come automatically
You are a beginner when it comes to blogging – you are not an expert. So it is natural that you will not be perfect in your blogging efforts.But don’t worry – if your audience knows that you are a first-time blogger, they will not mind your imperfection.
They will think that it’s quite natural.
But still perfection will take you a long way. So instead of running after it, only wait for it. As you learn more and more about blogging, your blogging efforts will automatically reach the heights of perfection.
This is the so-called “mantra” for first-time bloggers.
Publish your content with full confidence
You may not be an expert writer or blogger, but you should never fret from uploading content to your blog.Simply because you think that your content is not up to the mark, does not mean that your audience will think so. They might like the quality of content you are uploading.
If its writing is simple and free flowing, it will be much easier for your audience to read and understand it. So have confidence in your work.
Hope this article helps you in creating your blog and building an audience for it. Follow what your heart says, and nothing will be difficult for you to win.
