What is the quickest method of creating a strong readership base for your blog? How can you get thousands of visitors to your blog within a few days? How to get thousands on fans on your blog’s Facebook page and Twitter within a week?
Start giving.
It’s a time-tested strategy that works every time. Your blog is just one among a vast expanse of blogs. So why do you expect people to flock to your blog unless you give something substantial.
Everyone loves freebies. (Like the bear in the picture who is getting a free haircut from his friend!)
People look for free advice, help, software, music, blog themes and just everything. There must be something that you can offer to your readers as an incentive to visit your blog regularly.
It also helps create a loyal readership.
If you release free music every week, people will eventually get to know about it and make it a point to visit your blog at least once every week to get the latest stuff.
For example, Premiumpixels.com shares free stuff for web designers. It releases various resources that you can download and use freely. It has around 1,300 RSS subscribers in just about two months.
It has been a similar experience with Speckygeek.com as well. It had been struggling to get attention in the initial days.
After the release of a high-quality WordPress theme, its traffic has grown substantially. People also visit the blog to seek help for the theme. It has surely helped the blog to get some recognition.
Start giving and feel the difference!
