One of your best points is the idea of embracing the competition. After years of making my living in bricks and mortar businesses I was use to the “crush the competition at any cost” mind set. Which is a must in business, if you don’t have it, don’t go into business. Blogging is just the opposite. Bloggers who share the same audience have everything to gain from sharing content, links, list and on and on.

Great post!

Awesome suggestions in this post. I always look to build relationships with my readers. Those lasting relationships in turn help me to become a better blogger. When I write i want to show my readers that I care about theior thoughts and feelings. You have to interact in a positive way with your readers whenever possible.

I would like to add here a bit..

For good relationship think:

What ideas are the easiest to learn?
• Which ones are the most challenging, sophisticated, or require the most discipline?
•· After reading the book, what skills or techniques would a reader need next?
•· What questions do you receive most frequently on this material?

4. Encourage discussion in comments.

No matter how hard I try I find it hard to make people comment on my blog Darren. I write my posts in a funny manner and my motto is to make technology simple and make it to be easily understandable by a layman too.

But, I sincerely request my readers to take a minute and comment, but to no avail. Suggest how to make a lasting impression on the crowd rather than having a run around the mill netizens.

These are great tips. It’s so important to show value and help people –the abundance will return tenfold.I have seen it in my blogs and “human 2 human” relationships too.
Thanks for sharing your insights!

Giving aback is the best way.

Yesterday, I just put some names in my cheep for FollowFriday, and after that day, if I tweeted a column of mine, those humans were the humans who retweeted the post. Giving aback (in beforehand or not) is definitly a acceptable way to body a relationship.

Not only 7 Techniques, but there are several. It’s up to you how you Execute them.
Learning them is a different thing and applying them is totally different.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the ‘must-dos’ of blogging, in all the fancy tricks and latest techniques, and forget what it’s all about –

Provide good content. Do it regularly and stick to whatever posting schedule you promised your readers in the first place. Avoid the ‘sorry I haven’t been around for awhile’ post begin (a sure killer!)

I’ve learned the hard way that spending my allocated blogging time on writing leads to a far greater payoff than all the research, reading, and theme-tweaking in the world.

Oh – and when it comes to great content, your readers definitely know what they want more than you know what they want! Another lesson learned …

Being helpful, useful, going the extra mile — these are the things I believe are most important. Just be genuinely interested in your readers and they will keep coming back to read you.

As you stated, making posts useful is very important also. And if your blog is creative, innovative, and offers something different — it will go a long way in gaining you loyal readership. A blog that is inspiring, intellectually stimulating, exciting, offers your readers a lot of personal growth, informs them or is just plain fun also gains you some readership which will remain loyal. They will soon develop a relationship with your blog, then you if you remain helpful, and keep coming back for more.
