I have been working to increase my number of followers. In doing so, I began thinking about what I could add to my blog to make people return. I love when people start following me but I would also love for them to return. This means that I need to give them something to make them come back. Let's face it, there are thousands of blogs out there. What do you do to get people to come back to your blog? What is your favorite blog and why?
One of my favorite blogs is Novice Mama. She creates comic strips filled with the adventures every mom goes through. I love it! I hope she doesn't get mad at me for mentioning her blog. I can always relate to her strips. My husband gets a kick out of them too.
I always make a good connection with my followers, simple things like replying to comments, finding interests you share etc. With that said there are a lot of bloggers who follow me but I don't them, thats okay too but I always make an effort to say thank you for following and encourage me on my blogging journey!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Melissa. I return to the blogs where I find a connection. Personally, I'd rather have followers who leave thoughtful comments rather than just a high number... although both would be good. :+)
ReplyDeleteAnd I will be stunned if I ever see a blogger who gets upset with being plugged, LOL.
Wow, I wouldn't be mad at you mentioning me! I'm honored. Thank you! You just gave me the warm fuzzies. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know that you are enjoying what I'm writing. I just write for me and have fun with my drawings; it's a fun way to give myself a little sanity!
