How to Turn Surfers into Blog Readers by Building a Sticky Blog
Today's episode is about how to find new readers for your blog. It's the question I get asked most by bloggers, so this is the third of several podcasts on this topic. In part one we looked at two really important questions to ask before you go hunting for readers to read your blog. In part two, we talked about how to use two types of content to find readers for your blog. Today, we talk about building a blog that readers will want to return to again and again (a 'sticky' blog).
