Blog Steadily Growing... Now What?

First thing I would do is make an actual list of the people that have higher statuses (get more traffic, have more subscribers) than you in your area.

Research, find out and make your list.

THEN, start following their blogs. Comment on their blogs, (leaving your URL in the URL field), comment on other people's replies if the blog has that capability and get in the conversation as much as possible.

If your "net personality" bleeds through your writing and people can see it, that's a good thing. You want them to know you're a real person that is out there in the mix.

Consider learning about SEO. SEO can take your blog a long way. It isn't the only factor, but it's an important one.

Lastly, keep posting solid stuff. Further, don't use words like further in your blog posts. LOL

But seriously, post high quality, different perspective posts.

Do all of this consistently, and you'll inevitably grow.

BONUS
Follow high status people on Twitter, retweet their stuff and reply to them personally. Eventually they will see you. I have a couple high status.. even celebrity bloggers following my tweets. When they retweet my stuff, traffic, followers, subscribers and opt ins follow.

Hope that helps! That was like a mini guide!

If you are just looking for generated traffic you would want to use PPC like Google AdWords of Facebook.

It costs a bit, can be a mint. There are plenty of courses online that can help you get started (that are free).

I would also start thinking about joining some affiliate programs and start selling on your blog.

Just please don't get discouraged if you don't make money in a week. This takes time...stay strong and diligent.

Good luck!

Edit: And I completely agree with above

You can try to make guest posts on other people's blogs who get a lot of traffic. Just earch for you niche's main keywords, like if you do weight loss for example, do a google search for "weight loss blog" or "weight loss wordpress" or something. Then take the ones in the first positions as they have the most visitors. Find a contact form or an email address and just send them an article and say they can use it on their blog if they want to. For no reason, just because you are being nice to them. Sign your email with a link to your blog.. usually they will pick it up by themselves and link to your page
If you are not sure they will, you can also mention it. Say 'hey, I wrote this article for you. If you like it, you can post it on your blog! Would be awesome if you could leave a link back to my site xxx, too.' or something like that.
If those people get 500 readers per day and just 10-20% click your link... tadaaa you just got yourself a lot of free traffic
Then if your site is cool, they might come back, tell their friends, buy your stuff, click your adsense links or whatever you're doing.

Do regular pingbacks and trackbacks in your posts!

Definitely try some guest blogging. Find some popular blogs in your niche, and offer to write up a guest post for them. Don't just send in an already-written post, though. Email the owner, tell them how much you like/respect their blog, and offer to write a guest post on XYZ subject. It gives them a chance to take a break for a day, and it gives you a chance to get your name, expertise, and link out in front of very targeted traffic.

Then, once your guest post has been published, Tweet about it, Facebook it, etc. The blog owner will likely be doing the same (after all, it's his blog to promote!) That way, you get twice the promotion - and, hopefully, twice the readers.

And, of course, keep churning out quality posts on your own blog. That part never stops!

Have you been capturing leads?

Send out an email for the 1st paragraph of
your latest blog to let your readers know
you have updated every time you write
a new post.

Then simply put the link at the end of
the paragraph in your email which links
to your blog post.

I would recommend building a list as well. You can drive a bunch of traffic to your site but there's nothing like being able to send an email and really build a strong following

You should include informative things that is helpful of the reader. And also you should continue to promote your site.

try to be active in the community of your niche. visit other blogs and put meaningful comment on it. Then try contacting the owners and try to get them to let you write a guest post on their blogs.

I just want to improve my bolg traffic, and now I am gaining somthing, they are good! thanks!!!

Hi Manuelcrc,

LindaC here.

Clicked on your link and went to your blog.

First impression...white content on a black background was extreamly hard to read.

You may wish to change this.

My Best 2 U,

Mine oh mine. I'm learning super fast here. Great advices from great people. Thanks for sharing.
Tim.

It sounds like you're on the right track. Write down a list of titles that you want to post for the month and stick to the plan. Deliver what the readers want and more will come. Just be consistent and continually work on the block. You can also add wp robot and keep it on the lowest setting so that your blog still looks natural and not automated. Wp robot will generate posts for you and help attract more visitors.

Toss in an eye-grabbing optin widget into the sidebar. List building is crucial for backend monetization.

There are a number of plugins out there that automatically broadcast the title of your latest blog post to your Twitter account. Your followers then click on the link in the Tweet and they are taken straight to the post.
