One of the most common topics among bloggers stands around the readership. What are the best ways to increase your readership? What are the main reasons for a visitor to subscribe to your blog?

Convert a visitor to a loyal reader is not easy. In fact, the reasons for subscribing vary from person to person. For example, I personally subscribe to a blog for the quality of the content and because I like the blogger behind the blog! Now, what about you?

The question this week is:

What are the main reasons for you to subscribe to a blog?

As a blogger, you contribute to the global knowledge of your audience. Depending of your niche and your blog scheme, the informationmay be broadcast using different tactics. For example, news blogs might not use the same tactic as photos blogs or personal blogs.

I think that the main school of thoughts says that the role of a blogger is mostly to be a teacher or, at least, to be an informational channel that would help the online community to be better informed. However, is it really the fundamental role of the blogger?

I’ll let you read 2 posts related to this subject. I have to say that I particularly enjoy the post of Jonathan Morrow, an author on Copyblogger. In this post, Jonathan is saying that the teacher role in more a secondary role. The main one would rather be related to the class clowns rule! I won’t go too far, because I think this post worth to be read carefully.

What do you think is your fundamental role as a blogger?

I would really appreciate to have your opinion on this topic. Any feedback or life experiences would be very valuable for everyone!

Thanks for sharing with all of us!

We all know that original and valuable content is essential to develop a successful blog. Moreover, strategies based on social media networks, Forums and other community sites helps you to distribute this content and hopefully bring you significant traffic. However, this whole process must be repeated if you want to keep this traffic on a regular basis. One possible way to stabilize this traffic is to create backlinks. In fact, each backlinks is a road that lead readers to your blog’s door; instead of just pushing your content - which require lots of effort - it allow you to deploy a concrete and efficient pulling strategy.
