A blog doesn’t get to have a solid readership base without any real effort from the blogger. Encouraging people you don’t personally know to follow your blog requires some basic work and preparation. Once they are in place, increasing viewership is attained more quickly.
The first requirement is almost like a mantra for every blogger. This is to provide quality and relevant content. If you don’t have this or do not intend to follow through on this, then other follower-building efforts will be useless in the end. You do not want a one-time visitor only hence the frequency of visits would determine who among your readers constitute your loyal following.
The next requirement is to network effectively with other blogs. Refusing to do this is saying no to the growth of your blog. You will need others to participate and provide activity in it or else risk stagnation. Networking should not be interchanged with spamming and other abusive practices. It is a matter of respectful reciprocity where the objective is to provide benefits to the parties participating.
