The Importance of Building Community on Your Blog

One of the most common questions that I hear from bloggers is:

“How do I get my readers to interact with me?”

But WHY would you want readers to interact with you?

Well, interaction and engagement with your readers increases your blog’s relevance and usefulness. There’s also social proof - people attract people in all kinds of places, a blog is no exception. 

If you have reader engagement and a community on your blog you will get more page views and attract more advertisers. Having a community will make it easier for you to create and sell products and makes your blog more attractive to sell, if you ever wanted to.

Your blog community will also form an army of advocates and evangelists to attract even more readers to your blog. And the culture of community can help with user generated content.

You’ll also find that community brings more personal satisfaction to your blog with readers that support, encourage and sustain your blogging.

All successful blogs are communities and if you want to turn your blog into something special, something that will grant you financial freedom, and something that will help countless people then you must create a community out of your blog.
