What do your Readers think?
Two things are essential for a blog to survive. One is posts, and the other is readers. Posts make readers happy and bring more readers. More readers means the author is happy, he writes quality articles. That brings more readers. So its a two way process. One action is reciprocated by the other.
The world is a blend of people with different features. The difference should be there or else life will be boring. So you are different from every other blogger around and the readers reading your blog are different from those reading other blogs.
By knowing what your readers think, you can in fact double the time your blog visitors spend on your blog. And your readers, think exactly in the way you think.
I don’t like reading articles that run into pages. I prefer it to be short and shouldn’t force me to run searching for a dictionary. And graphical representations like pictures and mind maps, make it easier for me to grasp the articles content. So I search for more of such articles. And the next time I visit that blog, I may even read the lengthy articles!
So, there is a possibility that visitors to my blog too like the same. My articles shall be short (if they aren’t How To’s or Tutorials), and including graphics is a bit painful in wordpress (Am lazy, and don’t want to do all that uploading of images etc.). I have found Posterous to support all that I want, and it’s easy too!
So by realising what you like to see and read online, you can satisfy your readers, and get visitors to become readers and later on subscribe to your blog! Observe yourself and you shall obtain your answer.
