Hi, this is Darren Rowse from ProBlogger and welcome to episode 34 of the ProBlogger Podcast. Today, we’re continuing our series on finding readers for your blog. You can find today’s show notes at problogger.com/podcast/34. Now, I would encourage you to listen to the last episode, episode 33 before you listen to today because, in part one of this series, we looked at two really important questions to ask before you go hunting for readers for your blog. Those two questions (briefly) were, who do you want to read your blog and what change are you trying to bring in those readers’ lives. These are really important questions, and we’re going to build upon them in the next episodes in this series. Today I want to talk about another thing you need to consider before you go hunting for readers. Now you might be really itching to get into some of the techniques that we’ve got coming up in future episodes. This one is so important and it’s going to make promoting your blog so much easier. He says, “I look back on my own journey of finding readers for my blogs, and I’ve got around five million people reading my blogs every month today.
I can see that the techniques and strategies for growing readers,” that I’m going to talk about in a couple episodes’ time, “were important, but they weren’t as important as the actual content on my blog,” and that’s what I want to talk about today is content. Most of the techniques I’m going to talk about in future episodes work so much better if you’ve got two things happening on your blog. Firstly, you need to have solid useful content on your blog that serves your readers. Secondly, and this probably isn’t as essential, but it’s certainly useful. You need to have some shareable content that you can use when Country Email List you’re promoting your blog. In today’s episode, I want to talk about content. I want to suggest that you need to create these two types of content. I want to share some ideas on how to do that, which will put you in a great position to promote your blog in future episodes. The first thing I want to talk about is building a blog that is worth being found. You can go and promote your blog as much as you like, but unless there’s something worthwhile on your blog, when people surf on by, then there’s little chance that they’ll stick around for longer than.
a few seconds. There’s little chance that they’ll subscribe or want to connect with you on social media, there’s little chance that that wants to come back again, and there’s little chance that they’ll tell anyone about you. Ultimately, it comes down to creating something that’s attractive, interesting, and useful to people who arrive on your blog. Now there’s a whole heap of aspects that come into play with creating a blog that’s worth being found, and future episodes of this podcast really will be about that topic. The number one thing that you need to focus on, if you want to have a blog that’s worth being found is creating great content, content that serves people, content that is interesting to people, content that’s useful to people. The number one thing, when it comes to creating that type of content is focusing upon that change that you’re trying to bring to your readers. This is where the last episode really comes into play and I would encourage you to listen to that. It’s episode 33 and it’s all about creating content that takes your readers on a journey that changes them in some way. If you’ve been blogging for a while, then hopefully you’ve already got a solid archive of great useful content that does change your readers’ lives. You can probably skip on to the next little part in this podcast in a few minutes time, but if you’re just starting out, then this really has to be your number one priority in the early days of your blog before you go hunting for readers.
