How do I attract readers to my blog?

radicalgnostic said Jul 31, 10:46 AM:
 

I just joined a while ago, and posted my first blog entry.

How do I let other folks here know about what I've written? Also can a non-member read my blog from the www?

Thanks,
Tim J. Swank

Hello Tim.

Yes, as long as your blog is marked 'public' anyone online can read it. And the best advice I have for attracting readers is to be a good reader yourself. Go visit the blogs of others, leave supportive comments, and really engage sincerely in the community; you'll find your own readership will grow. When people do visit your blog, make sure to welcome and respond to their comments. It can take a little bit to gain attention here, but with a little energy and commitment I'm sure you'll do fine.

And welcome!

Hi Tim, Siona has [not surprisingly!] given very useful tips to attracting readers. This is something we've often discussed on Gaia, as we would like members to read our blogs.

Some other tips are given in a discussion on Gaia Networking's thread: Is anyone reading my blog? Can I improve readership?

It helps to have friends; to link your blog on your Status, and perhaps even to invite some friends who you feel would be interested in your blog, to read it. Sometimes we post in each other's grapevine or message each other. As you can see, the personal touch helps on Gaia!
