Getting lots of first timers on your blog on daily basis is
one of the best things that can ever happen to you but turning your first
timers into regular visitors is one of the greatest pursuit in blogging you
must never sideline. How far a blog will go in your blogging career is
dependent on the number of regular visitors it has.
Maybe I should make you know at this juncture that a blog is
just like a circular business where you offer a service to the people. Your
visitors are your clients and just as every business will always want to keep
their clients coming back so do you need
to work on keeping your visitors coming back.
At a point in my blogging career, I could boldly guess the
amount of visits I will get in a day because I had studied my statistics and
have seen that a minimum of 600 people must visit in a day, that shows the
amount of people I have been able to tie down to my blog and now can’t help but
to visit daily. This shows that in the case where you have a fluctuating
visitors statistics of 500+ today and tomorrow 100+, the next 200+, that means
you have not been able to get good number of people coming back.
This is why I have decided to give few working tips that
will help you keep your visitors wanting to visit your blog even with their last
megabyte everyday..
1.
STAY ON
YOUR NICHE :
Immediately a business firm start switching
from one service to another, its clients start loosing interest in it and
instantly begin to doubt its competence. When your visitors sees that your blog
is not stable niche wise, they will find it difficult to come back.
This is why you need to be sure of why you
are blogging and what niche you have decided to move with. Your visitors want
to identify you with a particular niche and wants you to maintain it and give
the best of latest info on it.
Take for example I got to visit your blog
because to are into the business niche and shares business ideas, if I visit
next time and I see posts on health which is not what I need, a third visit is
not guaranteed because I will immediately doubt your competence in that niche
or hastily assume your un-seriousness.
2.
NAIL YOUR
CONTENTS :
When I am impressed with what you do or the
service you render to me, you do not need any prophet to tell you I will keep
coming back. If you are familiar with blogging, you would have come across the word “CONTENT IS KING”.
When your content make sense and meet
needs, your visitors are bound to come back. It mustn’t necessarily be too
long, it can be short but detailed, well garnished with points people need.
Even apart from coming back, when a visitor stumbles on your blog and is dazed
by one of your articles, he/she can navigate through all other post in just
that visit because your content is worth it.
3.
GET YOUR
BLOG ORGANISED AND PRESENTABLE :
So many bloggers get themselves
screwed up in the process of trying to give a smashing design. You don’t have
to block many colours or add many pages for your blog to look good and
attractive.
On many occasions I have seen
visitors click the ‘’back’’ button just because a blog is too heavy and take
too long to open. Even if it carries great content, its inability to load fast
is a disqualification.
Popup Ads or Email signup forms
should be made optional and not compulsory, let your visitors be convinced by
what you have to offer, do not bore them with this on a fist visit. When the
get addicted to your blog, they will subscribe to you email list willingly and
even click your ads as many times as they want, lol.
4.
BREAK YOUR
POSTS :
This is also one cool way to keep your
visitors coming back for more articles. Breaking posts has to do with you
dividing your articles into two sections, you can decide to discuss one part
today and give the concluding part tomorrow. If your first section is able to
captivate your readers or visitors and you are able to throw them in that eager
or inquisitive mode, they won’t have any choice but to come back for the
concluding section.
This also gives you chance to express
yourself well on each section for your visitors to be able to phantom and grasp
what you are saying.
5.
HINT THEM
ABOUT UPCOMING POSTS :
Giving visitors hints on upcoming
articles gets them ready for another interesting time on your blog. This has
been a powerful tool for me as it has worked on several occasions in getting my
visitor back on my blog.
You need to be smart enough to have
come up with one cool article you intend giving out next on your blog. Having
done that, try to prepare their minds towards it, if possible give likely
points to be discussed and tell them not to miss it but be sure to meet their
expectation by doing as you have said so as to uphold the trust.
As a matter of certification, you have to
visit this blog often as I will be dropping the other part of this article
soonest. There are lots of ways to keeping your visitors coming back to your
blog but for the sake of effectiveness, I have decided to divide it into two
sections. This will help you effect the first part before the second comes up.
CONCLUSION :
Engaging your visitors in a
constant visit cannot be the problem if you play your cards well by doing the
needful. Put into action the above tips and watch them work for you like magic.
Drop your views, questions and contributions and if you need my assistance.
