Socialize with others. Tell your friends about your blog and encourage them to participate to your blog by posting comments and posting their own article in your blog. Some people found it cheesy to tell their friend that they are blogging. Well unless you really want your blog to be your most kept secret and that you alone are allowed inside your blog don’t be timid about it and shout out that you have a blog. Be friendly join communities on several sites like Mybloglog and blogcatalog. Mingle with them they are also a citizen of the blogosphere. Even tough you have similar topics in your blog don’t take them as an attacker but rather create a
synergy, a cooperation that way you share your readers to them and vice versa theirs to your blogs.
Be friendly be approachable. Be closer to your readers let them know that there is a real person behind your blog and not just a bot or a spam bot posting on and populating your blog.
Having an opportunity to communicate with your audience should be a great deal to you knowing that someone are willing to lend their ears to you. And you should reciprocate them by listening to them. Blogs work two ways we talk they listen, they talk we listen.
Just a reminder be friendly because you really are, not because you need to.
As a person we can sense hypocrisy and we hate it.

Being creative is either an inborn or an acquired skill. Good for you if you have this skill inborn to those who think you are not creative unleash it everybody’s entitled to this skill. You as a blogger unleashing your creative skill in your online content will also help your readers or visitors widen their imagination and will easily visualize what you are talking about.
Creativity can be express in many different ways online from illustrations to coding. Of course you have to know the technical know how when coding or using your blogging platform. But in time you’ll get the hang of it.
Creativity is very important specially when you are writing about a general topic or you are reviewing a product with online affiliate program. You don’t want your post to be mistakenly identified as a duplicate content by search engines or being called a copycat by your readers. Copying and Pasting articles to your blog is easy but its bad for you lose your authority I mean its not your own composition why would reader wanna read on it on your blog while it is all over the internet in the case of the “Affiliate sales letter”.
Creatively naming your post and giving it a teasing title will generate you more traffic and readership. Making your title being interesting that is teases the minds of your would be reader. Of course if you tease people would be tempted >:). The best example of an attention grabber is what Shoemoney posted in his blog title Making 1,000.00 in 1 hour altough this is an Aprils fools joke it was a good one and it teases our minds making as curious and making us wanna know what the hell is he talking about then we click.
Be creative in doing illustration about your post remember that a picture paints a thousand words and will help your blog looks good and will also guide your readers understand what you are saying. “know what am I saying”.
“Be creative in your blog consider it as your MASTERPIECE”
“Build it they will come Build it Right they will stay” - I read it from a magazine ad years ago
Be creative and you’ll be unique.
In the Wide World of Blogging The “Blogosphere” there are thousands of blog post daily. Some get high page hits some got only one or two hits well mainly because of the author action of taking a look at how his post looks.
The page hits are our common and most basic measuring stick in analyzing if we have a good post or not. The more page hits means you have written an interesting and informative topic. Remember those numbers are the results.
What do we have to good to attain those numbers. The not “Hit or Miss” action in blogging. Although we could not truly eradicate the “Hit or Miss” phenomenon. Here are my ideas in atleast decreasing “Hit or Miss” and make your post “Hit and Hits” almost all of the time.
Be Creative, Be Aware, Be friendly, Be precise and Don’t forget to be Fun.
Being Aware is the primary key to maximize the growth potential of your blog. Being aware of your goals and objectives will guide you on your growth. Being aware of your strengths and weakness will help you make an informed decision on for example what topics to focus and write on. Being aware of your expertise and passion and making it as the primary topic on your blog will help you write topics which you can literally write as easy as ABC well thats a bit overstated but thats the idea.
Being aware of what of the “What’s in the future” Like what’s hot in the future? And being the first to post it will give you a slight advantage over your competitor. Oops this idea is like a “Hit or Miss” thingy But again if you have a first hand information that it will be in the future then go for it. Say for example your blog is all about iPhone “sigh I wish I have alteast one of those” and a friend of yours from that company hinted you that they will release a “iPhone X” you probably are one of the first to know about it and a little research digging and you writing it at “First Strike” Stance gets you a chance of being known in the community of iPhone fans.
Be aware and be the Leader
