"How to Reach An Audience Through Blogging"

It is the latest trend in town now..BLOGGING. People tend to go online, instead of publishing their art works or businesses in the magazines or newpapers. Not that the conventional methods are completely forgotten, but people always go for the easiest way. People speak up more in the blog not to mention that it is a free channel too!

So, how to attract people to read your blog? An avid problem face by most bloggers is, people might not know that you guys have one! The main key here is, you have to make yourself known. It is obvious that there are thousands of blogs out there, so you have to make yours noticeable and worth it to read.

The first big step you can take is commenting on other people's blog! I could assure you, this method is totally paid off. Whenever we have a comment on our blog, we always want to know the person who is commenting. This will lead the reader to your blog, since he/she will be interested to know you better. Sometimes, this will even lead to virtual friendship.

The next thing is, made great headlines. You know how those newspapers always exaggerate their headlines? Well you might have to consider it now. Even when the overall post is not that interesting, but with a great headline, people will definitely fall for it. Let us revise an example here:

1) The underdog won the World Cup.
or
2) The Great Generation of Kiwis begged the title!

So which of this two will you read first??As for me, I will definitely read the second one.

Another simple yet important thing is, make your blog look as interesting as it could be. Have more pictures, great background, readable writing and fonts and perhaps simple words. You must make sure the reader able to absorb what you are trying to express. Since blogging is totally in words, people might misinterpret what you try to say. It is better to stay simple, yet the message reaches out to your readers. A good background and suitable colours also play a major role here, since you do not want your readers to get annoyed with your blog.

If you get all this right, you will have great numbers of followers...most probably be in 24 hours time! Happy blogging!
