One of the hardest and most frustrating things about blogs is breaking the 100 views per day threshold. Your blog has quality content, it’s intriguing, and you have a steady following. But you want to make the leap to get thousands, not a hundred, views a day. So, how do you do it?
The first step is to write one killer article per week. A killer article is a really informative, creative, and alluring article that is sure to capture your viewer’s attention and keep them reading. It’s an article that’s so helpful, so enticing, that viewers will tweet it, facebook it, and repost it to their own blogs. Killer articles take a long time to write; you’ll want to work on it for one hour every day of the week until it’s finished.

Unfortunately, posting one killer article a week won’t be enough to get you lots of exposure, even if the article is earth shattering, life changing, or the best thing you’ve ever written. You have to make sure you network with other bloggers in you niche. You can comment on other blogs that relate to your company, post links to other blogs on your website, or contact other bloggers about their work. Build relationships with people in your blogging niche so you can create a support system. These people may start reading your blogs and reposting them on Twitter or adding your link to their websites. You can also post your own blog on social network accounts so that your friends and followers can get access to it. Do these networking activities every day.

Along with networking, promote your blog. It’s important to take advantage of social networking accounts so that your friends and followers have easy access to your blog. Get friends to submit the articles to bookmarking sites or put links on their Twitter and Facebook. Send out a mass email to your friends and family telling them about the blog and encouraging them to tell their friends. You can also post the article in online forums as to expand your readership.

Killer articles are a great way to attract readers and promote your blog, but also remember to post daily. Each blog doesn’t have to be a work of genius; you can post just a few thoughts or a link to a relevant article online. You could even start a discussion and ask readers to respond. Write a smaller article to get people’s thoughts flowing.

It is definitely frustrating to see that the views on your blog are stagnant. But if you dedicate time and energy to promoting, networking, and writing quality articles, your hard work will pay off. It’s all about making those connections and engaging in a conversation with your online niche.
