I also found that as a blogger I needed to slowly develop readers. It's because if you want lowly readers, you must build relationships with them, and relationships take time. If you are not building relationships and community, the readers won't stay anyway. There are too many blogs out there -- the readers will have no loyalty to you and they'll just move on. Loyalty takes time. And it is established by the blogger writing good content, being consistent, perhaps having regular features in your blog -- such as weekly features readers can expect, building community, helping one's readers when one can, as well as other things. If you are there for your readers, they will be there for you and become very loyal. And this just takes time. Oh, and thanks for reminding me that its important to solve a need or problem that potential readers have. Its so obvious but sometimes we bloggers miss it! We think our ideas are so great and/or write for ourselves! Thanks for the tip -- I won't create a blog or write for myself, but think of the proper niche and write according the next time I set up another blog! krissy knox :) follow me on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/iamkrissy Excellent points Darren.

That's especially true for solo bloggers. Freelance bloggers have probably seen less work. I know I have. In fact, late last year one of my best clients pulled my production down two-thirds. Startled me because I thought they were big on advertise when everyone else isn't. Great thoughts. Very good post. Thanks for taking the time to write.

No doubt about this that many people have learned blogging from your blog. But I do believe that visitors are like Monkey. If you keep feeding them with good posts and contain than they will coming to your tree (website). Once you stop feeding they will go to other tree (website) and will never come back ... or will be a tough task to bring them back.

Also, having a podcast that is not too useful for a site's viewers might have been more advantageous in the past, but as you refer to here, it might be removed from a person's set of listening subscriptions more quickly now. Also, adding an image gallery, where one was not previously, can brighten up a section of one's site that was fairly dormant.
