10 Mashable Ways To Increase Blog Subscribers
When You start your blog or website
then A Question rises i.e How to make permanent subscriber which gives traffic
to my blog.So there are manys to get it but one of best post “10 Mashable Ways to Increase Blog Subscribers”
which tells you all mashable ways to get more subscriber than normal rate.So
read carefuly below points and Apply it on your blogs-
1. Make it
easy and obvious
As I’ve said before in more
detail, make your subscription options prominent, offer an email alternative to
RSS, and ask for the subscription, preferably at the bottom of each post.
2. Be laser focused
Make sure you are primarily
focusing on a particular topic, and the more specialized that topic is, the
better you’ll do. It’s also key to step back and evaluate whether there are
enough prospective readers in your chosen niche. It’s better to be brutally
honest with yourself than to toil away and end up disappointed.
3. Offer a bribe
Relax, it’s nothing illegal.
It’s an ethical bribe, in the form
of a free ebook, report, e-course or audio series. Typically this only works
with email subscriptions tied to autoresponders, because you want to condition
delivery of the bonus on subscription.
But here’s a nifty way to do it
with RSS:
If you have a WordPress blog,
use the free Feedvertising plugin to link to the download page for your
free gift. Since Feedvertising links only show up in the feed (and not in the
post), only feed subscribers will see the link and have access to the bonus.
4. Use viral ebooks
This is a spin on the ethical
bribe strategy, but instead you let other people give away your PDF ebook or
even bundle it for sale with other products. The PDF in turn promotes your blog.
I bundled my free Viral Copy
report with a book that spent
several days at the top of the Amazon bestseller list.
5. Dedicated subscription landing page
Create a page that is dedicated
to nothing more than obtaining a subscription, and drive traffic to it from
your blog, AdWords, or really any other source you want. You can even put it on
a unique URL, and add in the ethical bribe strategy to increase signups.
6. Become a guest blogger
Contributing content to someone
else’s blog may seem crazy, but it’s a solid strategy to gain exposure for your
own blog and build your subscriber base. Just make it very clear to the blog
owner that you require a very brief byline at the end of the post, with a link
back to your site. And make sure it’s original content, not
something recycled off of your blog.
7. Start a podcast
Start a related podcast on your
subject matter, and get it into iTunes and listed in the various podcasting
directories. Mention your blog in every episode and the benefits of
subscribing, and try to land some interviews with prominent players in your
niche. Not only will you be opening up a new promotional channel, you’re also
creating bonus content that can be reused as part of your ethical bribe
campaign for new subscribers.
8. Post in forums
A tried and true technique
since the earliest days of the Internet is to be a helpful, proactive
participant in forums that are important in your niche. People will notice that
you are offering yourself up to others, and will be more inclined to see what
else you have to offer with your blog.
9. Networking
This is perhaps the most
overlooked strategy for gaining traffic and subscribers. Don’t badger other
bloggers for links, because it rarely works anymore. Find a way to help them
with something, and then eventually work that initial graciousness into a
business relationship and even friendship. There are real people behind these
blogs, and they respond to good will just like people do offline.
10. Cross-promotional deals
Here’s another cool way to make
use of the Feedvertising plugin for WordPress.
Find a blogger that publishes related, but non-competitive content. Work
out a deal where you both promote each other in your RSS feeds, using
Feedvertising. If one blog has way more subscribers than the other, work out a
ratio deal. Since Feedvertising allows you to create up to six rotating links,
the smaller blog would promote the other blog continuously, while the larger
blog would reserve one slot for the smaller blog, and use the other slots for
other cross-promotion deals, affiliate links, or sponsor ads.
great tips. I'm in the middle of learning more about podcasting. People seem to enjoy listening while they are doing other things.
