5 Tips to get more people to read your blog

Do you feel like no one is reading the content you've so carefully composed, edited and maybe even sweated over?  

If so, you have a good deal of company -- there are many blogs out there and very few business owners start with a large following!  To help you get more readers, here are some tips from Neil Patel (who should know, as he  averages 37,000+ visitors to his blog) :

1. Quote people you admire and link to them.  Then, send them a note to thank them and let them know you've shared their expertise. You might add that you'd be thrilled if they would share your blog! :) 
2. Share your post on all of your social networks, but don't just share the link, add a brief introduction.  And don't share just once -- not everyone sees what you share the first time.  But space out the shares so you aren't boring people -- for example, plan to share a post 6 times a year, or every two months. 
3. If you get comments -- great, repond!  That helps your reach and engagement score (part of most social media platforms algorithms) Be sure to respond (politely) to the comments and if you can, ask them another question!  (To encourage even more engagement).
4. Send out to your list quickly after publishing and encourage your readers to share the content if they like it.  Don't have a list?  Add a form so they can subscribe and start building one. ​
5. Look at your website analytics for top posts. Which posts attracted the most visitors from last year?  Take some time and if appropriate, update them so they have fresh content.  ​
