(If you still haven’t started a blog, we highly recommend heading over to Bluehost to set one up right now!)

Many people believe starting a blog is the most challenging part of the process.

And believe me, I know starting a blog is nothing to sneeze at. 

 But when you start a blog, you feel excited and motivated. In your early days of blogging, the momentum of trying something new and different keeps you going.

The most difficult part of blogging is what happens (or what doesn’t happen) next: Getting people to actually read your blog.

In order to create a blog that will last for the long haul, build community, perhaps even make money and help you achieve your goals, this is where the hard work begins.

You need to get people to actually read your blog. Here’s how to do it. 

1 Write amazing content

First and foremost, your content needs to be amazing. There are way too many blogs out there with mediocre content. Yours needs to be better.

There are several different ways to write blog content — and some may prove more effective than others. Consider these types of posts to provide value to your audience and keep them coming back for more.

Content roundups: A content roundup an authoritative post that lists the top 100 or another number of your choice whatevers (people, products, pieces of advice, podcasts, photos, websites, etc.) in your industry or niche — is an excellent tactic to send traffic your way, create authority and build lasting relationships.
