Especially like ‘write a series’ because you can keep people on the edge of their seat and when it’s all done it can become a great reference point or can even be turned into a mini-course you could later sell

My addition : Enjoy blogging, because without enjoyment the quality will automatically decrease, pulling down the traffic along with it.
Excellent list Ana. I agree with Tushar’s comment, it should have been titled 258 ways to get traffic.
Sourav´s last [type] ..Whom Do You Write For
I agree, Sourav.
I suppose everyone can burn out at some point. However, if you think you can’t stick with blogging long-term, you better not start at all.
It’s too much time and effort to see it all go down the drain.
Passion is a huge factor!

Solid post Ana. It’s printing right now! Some of these I have done but theres so many other great ideas there. Thank you for sharing them.
One I might add: Take a Picture.
Blogs are often so focused on words. It’s important not to forget there are other ways to stimulate a discussion.
Definitely agree, Steve.
Great images can also serve as a bait of sorts; they might catch your reader’s eyes and make them want to read the post as well.

Hey now, Dennis… Are you picking on me?
Not-so-average is actually technically one word the way it was used. My English major tells me so…
Thanks for the comment!
Ana´s last [type] ..How To Conquer Your BLOG Low Subscription Rate Once And For All
First, yea kinda.
Second, you misunderstood, or missed the “plus”, but I was saying two things.
I wouldn’t call the list not-so-average, AND (hehe) some of them are 4 words.
