How to Win the Hearts of Your Readers!

Blogging is not only about writing blog and sharing them on social media sites. Blogging is something more than that, and it is winning the hearts of your readers. Read on this blog post to know how to win the hearts of your readers.

To be very honest guys I took a break from my regular blogging on last day. I could not be able to publish a post on yesterday and the reason being I was so much busy with my regular work, and I was also helping two readers of my blog to establish their blogs. Fortunately both of them were having a blog in blogspot domain and they wanted to shift it to self hosted WordPress.

Though I did it once before, but forget to make blog post of the steps last time, but since I did it twice yesterday and that too successfully so I thought I will come along with a blog post on the steps. Hopefully you all will be able to read this very soon.

The point which I was about to tell you is to win the hearts of your readers. Honestly those two beautiful women came to know about me through my blog only and one day they mailed me that they desire to switch their blogspot domain into a self hosted WordPress blog and I did tried whatever best I can do for them to set it up.

You won’t believe the happiness which I received when I saw them happy after the conversion 🙂

Honestly nothing is more beautiful than the smile of happiness, which comes from the core.

Though, I am not a big name as far as blogging is concerned, but still I try to win the hearts of my readers all the time. I don’t know or rather I won’t comment on if I have been able to win your heart or not, as it is you only who can comment on this in a better way, but yes I am very much satisfied with whatever opportunities I got to help my readers.

How to Win the Hearts of Your Readers! 

So coming back to our original discussion of how to win the hearts of your readers, I am sure all those who has a blog or who are into blogging would love to hear my opinion on it. To be very frank, blogging is one of the best relationships making process I have ever come through. It is a link between the blogger and their readers or followers.

To be very frank you cannot be able to establish a relationship with your readers from a single blog post. You cannot expect that you write a smart, lengthy, informative, blog post and you will have a strong bond with your readership. Nope, you cannot have a string relationship with your readers with one blog.

It is a continuous process and might take months, or years to win the heart of your readers so that they can become loyal followers of your blog.

To be very frank your blogs (individual blog posts) are a way to introduce yourself to your readers. It is like you are saying hi to a stranger. Responding to your hi is entirely in the hand of the person who is reading your blog. It might also depend on how pleasantly you offered your hand to the readers.

Whatever be the case, the reader will came to know you through your blog and will want to say hi or hello to you through your blog only. Now it is your turn, you need to make this bond stronger, or just wanted to ignore it, it is entirely in your hands.

Normal courtesy says you welcome any person who responds positively to your first hi. So the same should apply over here as well. But then it is just the beginning of a very strong relationship or friendship. You being the blogger have the responsibility to build this relationship and bonding stronger with your readers.

You may ask how?

So, here are the ways:

Honor Your Readers 

To be very frank, the readers of your blog are valuable assets of yours. You should honor them properly. You should never take them for granted. After all they are actually spending their precious time while reading your blog. You should write whatever you are writing to satisfy them, to honor them, so that they can feel valuable when they read your content and would love to visit again.

To be very frank, I am not bothered if hundreds of people are visiting my blog daily or thousands are. Even if the numbers are in one or two digits, that too won’t bother me. The thing is that every individual person who is visiting my blog is precious for me. After all they all are investing their time to get some knowledge from my blog and it is my duty to provide them the value of their time with the help of knowledge which I can share with them.

The tip which I can give to any newbie blogger or any established one as well is to consider your readers as a community which you are developing, not as a visitor only. 🙂

Prepare Posts Solving Their Issues 

So when you decided to develop the community which you started, it is your duty to solve the concerns or issues of your community members. Try to resolve whatever issues they all are facing with the help of your blog posts.

Always remember in the field of blogging, your writing ability is not something which can make you popular, it can make you popular if you have chosen to write books, but then it is your ability to share love with your readers which can make you popular in blogging. It is the same relationship building technique which I mentioned earlier.

You must have realized that many a times I prepare a new blog post based on some of the query which I receive through the comments of my readers. This is a good idea to honor them.

Respond to Their Comments 

As you all know that a few days back only I published a blog on responding to blog comments is good or bad and you all know that I always support responding to the comments. To be very frank, I always feel pity about a blog if I found that the blog owner simply ignores the comments.

It is not a good way to give respect to your readers. As I said that blogging is a process of community building and since you are the owner and the creator of the particular community, and hence it is your duty to give value to those who want to participate in your community.

Share Their Experiences 

Don’t only build a relationship with your readers, but try to share their experiences as well. It will not only make them happy but also make them closure to you.

This is something like you are acknowledging that you gives value to them and pay attention to them. This way you encourage them as well.

So these were some of the tips which can help you to build a strong relationship with your readers and this way you can be able to develop a strong community as well. But only giving them value on your blog is not enough to build the relationship, you also need to encourage them for their blogs. Try to share your honest opinion about their blog post, try to build them it in a proper way, and try to help them if they need something to promote their blog posts.

Sometimes suggesting some improvements might come as a surprise to them, but it will definitely make them happy. It will certainly be a pleasant surprise and help you to build a strong relationship with them.

I guess you people are those who can comment about whether I have been successful in doing these things or not? I would request you all to share your opinion with us so that we can also be able to understand if the tips which I am giving are really workable or not. I am eagerly waiting for your comments and feedback on this blog post of mine.
