Blogging businesses are now firmly woven into the fabric of the search engine world. They’re just like any other business, in fact, all vying to generate leads and keep hold of a loyal consumer base. It feels great to have your own little ecosystem of followers. Not only do you feel like when you say something people actually listen, but they care about the words that you express. Writing your own blog in your own words is usually done by channeling your inner thoughts and just letting rip with the typing. So you hope and pray that only the best shades of your personality shine through. Not to sound vain but you honestly do wish that people will like you. How else will complete strangers on the internet, go through the hoops, sign up to your website, build a profile, share your links, tell others about you and react to your posts and make purchases?

Ask what to do
People are so afraid of sounding like they don’t know what they’re doing that they refuse to ask for help when they truly need it. By now you have your own blog and have written extensively about topics you love and have an innate need to share. You’ve more than likely posted affiliate links in the posts you’ve written sharing the products and other things you like. Amassing a decent following by using basic sharing tools such as within the blogosphere itself, you see that lots of new faces have arrived. Who knows what lead them to click on your blog. It could have been a picture that was stunning, a blog post title, some keywords or they just genuinely loved a post you made about a topic they also like. Don’t be afraid to
Who knows what lead them to click on your blog. It could have been a picture that was stunning, a blog post title, some keywords or they just genuinely loved a post you made about a topic they also like. Don’t be afraid to let them know you see them and acknowledge their presence. Reply to them in the comment section. Write a little note at the end of one of your posts asking them to share their views. You may even find great results by just publishing a post asking your followers what they would like to see you do next.
Lead capture page
Blogs have their own community. Once everyone gets comfortable with each other, you’ll start to notice each other’s personality. But for new people, they have to get their foot through the door first. A lead capture is great for just this purpose. Brief and packed full of energy, a lead capture page sums up one of the best things you can give to your followers.
You may have a fantastic question or offer them a chance to win a prize. Either way, you want them to become a part of your followers by giving you their email address, name and perhaps a phone number. As explained in the MLSP review by Todd & Leah Rae, a capture page service is usually bought separately which could cost you hundreds of dollars each month. By having it there permanently as part of the package, you give everyone that visits your blog an opportunity to have a seat and win something at the same time.
A blog is like an ecosystem, it’s held up by the consistently returning followers. Your consumer base that takes your word seriously and any affiliate links you share, gain a high interaction rate. By upfront and ask your fans what they would like to see on the blog to make them be more involved. They’ll see themselves as part of the fabric rather than a picture hanging on the wall.
