As a home internet business owner, getting someone to visit your blog for the very first time may seem hard enough work, but what should you do to get this same reader to re-visit your blog over and over again. How do you get repeat traffic to your work at home business blog? It certainly is not rocket science, but it does require a conscious effort to learn a few effective yet simple blogging techniques to achieve this. One goo tip I can share with you is to make your new blog visitors feel at home so that he gets encouraged not just to subscribe but will return to contribute to your blog as well.
Make First impressions Last
You don’t need to be an expert in human behaviour to understand that the first impression of an event, a person, or an activity is a lasting one. In internet marketing, this still is true when your reader visits your work at home business blog. Make sure that your blog’s font size is large enough with a nice design. A blog with unique design could possibly lead to a certain branding that people can identity as yours. You should remember that your blog is reaching out to many of your readers, not just yourself, so how you personally like your blog to look like may not be that important.
Be Creative
Everyone says that that content is king, but I say creativity is queen. I’m really not recommending that you engage a graphic designer to modify your work at home business blog. I am merely suggesting to make small but interesting changes to its design ocassionaly. I have seen some bloggers used this idea well by placing pictures on their blog including Hollywood celebrities. You can take a look at mine towards the page bottom - I used an animation of a beer man giving out…oops, sorry you’ll have to visit my blog to check it out.
Don’t Over Focus On Keyword Phrases
Many marketers have understood the importance of SEO techniques in their work at home business blog if they wish to get top search engine ranking for their home internet business site. It seems such a natural thing to do whenever you write your blog post to repeat your keyword or keyword phrases and sprinkling them throughout the article. This generally is a good practice to follow and eventually your search engine ranking improves due to this blogging technique. However, there is unfortunately a downside to it. Your readers who have been your loyal visitor till now may start to get a little bored with your posts and stop visiting your blog. To avoid this from happening, you should try to focus on a narrower topic and mix it with other content to keep your blog visitors satisfied. As an example I recently wrote a blog post called ” Taking The Long Money View” which is about pay day loan services, offering a refreshing change of topic to my readers. You should also consider blog content swap which lets you exchange blog posts with other bloggers. This offers your readers more variety and a different style of writing too. You may be unaware that you are actually contributing to getting your repeat traffic to your work at home business blog in this way. Well after reading this post you can consciously make this happen for the benefit of serving your loyal blog visitors and ultimately your internet home business opportunity.
Squidoo Lens, Blog and RSS Feed
A Squidoo lens is somewhat like your home internet business website and your blog. With Squidoo, you can create a free page, called a lens. This lens consists of various modules which you can select from. Every module contains a different category such as text, eBay products, Reader Feedback, RSS Feed, Your Tube videos etc. However, there are many people who seem to neglect the RSS module. Simply put your blog RSS Feed address into this module allows your latest blog posts to appear in your squidoo lens. It is important to create your lens using a topic that is related to what your blog offers to your readers. The creating of your lens is easy, so it is important to do it well to generate free targeted traffic and repeat visitors to your blog.
Blog Frequency
If you want to see repeat traffic to your blog, you have to blog frequently. The more often you blog the better it is, but I recommend writing a new blog post weekly at a minimum. You can also consider blog posts from other bloggers, which can be a good way to provide some variety and a different perspective to your work at home business ideas, or topics that you have written.
Remember that your visitors subscribe to your blog because they like what you have written, the service you provide or the work at home business ideas your blog offers. So if you don’t blog frequently they may just unsubscribe. Your subscribers contribute to your free targeted traffic to your blog, so not only do you need to bring in new visitors, but it is important also to keep those in your subscription list happy as well.
Value Readers’ Comments
Your readers’ comments on your blog posts are important and you should review them and reply them as and when they are received. A comment posted by your reader may arise as a result of his agreeing, disputing with you or seeking clarification on what’s been written.
Athough this may become another blog post, there are some very good blogging techniques that you can and should use to encourage more comments from your readers. A good blogging technique that I have learned is to engage your readers’ responses or feedback deliberately. You can do this by asking a question in your post. Take a look at the end of this post and you will understand just what I mean. You must remember that writing a blog post is a lot different than say writing for a newspaper article, in which you present all possible scenarios of the topic to a passive audience. In a blog, you should engage the reader to provide feedback, comment, describe his experience on what works and what doesn’t. Inviting participation like this is good for getting your traffic. The reader may be interested to find out more about the topic and like to read up on the new responses that are received. Getting high traffic and repeat visitors to your blog in this way is not uncommon, if the topic is interesting and the right blogging technique is used.
You may have visited many work at home business blogs with a big subscriber lists and repeat traffic. While it is possible to get to where they are now, these successful bloggers often have their own trump card perhaps having written a ‘Beginners Blog series’, a sensational Blog contest and others. If you are a new blogger I suggest that you focus more on the basics of blogging technique first and aim to achieve a respectable number of subscribers. I would say achieving 100 subscribers to your work at home business blog could be your first real challenge you can set for yourself.
