Get More Subscribers To Your Blog: Simple Tips

get more subscribers

No one can deny the fact that blogging comes with many obstacles, and most challenging of them is getting blog traffic. Each blogger would like to attract heavy traffic to his/her blog.

However, the fact is that traffic won’t come as you are resting on a bed, you need to work hard to get it. But if you are able to get more subscribers, then it’s not a tough job for you.

Subscribers are loyal readers of your blog.

Here are some simple tips, you can get more subscribers easily.

Tips to get more subscribers

Useful Content

The only thing that can assure your blog to maximum success is the type of content your readers find at your blog. Remember, the quality of your content decides the amount of subscribers you will be gaining.

If visitors find your blog with dumb and useless content, they will find it worthless to subscribe. Well, if you want more subscribers, then give your readers something useful, so that they find your site worthy to subscribe.

Gain Traffic

Are you looking forward to get more subscribers, even though you do not have traffic? That’s quite silly!

If you want to really get more subscribers to your blog, then get good amount of traffic to your blog.

If you are able to put up good content regularly, then it will improve your credibility and help to get more subscribers. It’s the most important step and you can’t skip it.

Look Good, Look Awesome

Giving the perfect style or look is the first step to a successful blog. Well, why?

Whenever a visitor visits your blog, the first thing that welcomes the visitor is your blog’s look. And as the first impression is the last impression, it is necessary to have the right color scheme and the perfect look for your blog.

Go for a good template. You can even buy a premium template or hire a designer.

Creating a bond with your readers

It’s very often that if a reader likes your blog, he would even like to contact the owner of that blog. Always be open hearted to contact your blog readers.

You can even solve their queries, questions, etc. As such, you can personally remind your readers to subscribe to your blog and share your blog with all their friends.

Asking Readers to Subscribe

One of the most preferred and genuine ways to get more subscribers to your blog is to ask or request readers to subscribe to your blog. If the visitors find your site useful, they will subscribe to your blog for sure.

You can ask directly, at the end of the posts or at other pages, or you can put up sign up forms that clearly explain the benefits of subscribing to your blog (like a free blogging book, or an e-course or something similar).

Attractive sign up forms

List building starts with a professional email marketing solution, like Aweber for instance. And, with such an email marketing software, it is quite easy to create eye catching subscription forms; you can check the ones at this blog, they’re made with Aweber.

By the way, you can try Aweber for just $1 for the first month :)

If you want to even push your subscription rates higher, go for a professional premium WordPress plugin like WPSubscribers (read review here).

Get more subscribers: Takeaway

The above mentioned tips are really simple, and are no-brainers. But most bloggers fail to follow them and hence lag in building their subscriber base. Building your subscriber base should start soon after you build a website.

If you are struggling to build your subscriber list, I strongly recommend you to follow these tips in the first place.

    Great idea I got from this post. I am going to work on my sign up forms. I don’t know how I’ll make them attractive, may be, by creating some interesting graphics. But thanks for the idea, Kuldeep. Nice tips. Thanks for sharing.

    • Kuldeep

      Thanks for you comment Abhi! Glad to know that you liked one of our mentioned tips! Hope you succeed to get more subscribers! Thanks for giving your precious comment here!

        Your welcome, Kuldeep.

      • http://ajnabii.com Ajnabii

        Hi Kuldeep!

        Intresting and wonderful post you shared with us. In my point of view you need to work hard on our blog and if we have …

        1. Awesome Blog Design.
        2. Fresh, unique intresting, useful content, (Content is King).
        3. Good sign up form.
        4. Sing up form placement.

        Let me explain about placement, If placement is good readers will notice it. Few good placement are ..

        Top of header.
        Right sidebar (Above the fold).
        Post footer (At the end of post).

        What do you think ?

  • http://race2hugo.net/blog HollyJahangiri

    You mean begging ISN’T the only way to get more subscribers? I’ve been doing it wrong. ;)

    You wrote: “However, the fact is that traffic won’t come as you are resting on a bed, you need to work hard to get it.” And while the last half of that statement (that you need to work hard) is quite true, I did have a bit of a chuckle with your friend, Abhi - you do know you have a global audience, and that I may well be reading your blog while you sleep, right? :) You have a good night, now, Kuldeep - I need to get to work!

    Good luck in the contest.

    • Kuldeep

      Sorry, but what my point of saying this line “However, the fact is that traffic won’t come as you are resting on a bed, you need to work hard to get it.” is do you really think that without any hard work, anyone would receive huge amount of traffic. If we need to achieve something, we need to work hard for it, that’s what is my point about this line. And yes, you are receiving good traffic from all across the world, it’s obvious that you have indeed worked hard for it!

  • Kimberly Gauthier

    Thanks for this post and good luck with the contest. I haven’t heard of the WP plugin you mentioned and I’m going to check it out now. I’m curious if you have a post that explains the difference between Aweber and Mailchimp.

  • http://www.bestwashingmachine2012.com/ Stacy

    This is a very useful article, but be careful with this tip: “Asking Readers to Subscribe.” Don’t use pop-ups! People get really annoyed when they get on a blog and the first thing they see is a huge pop-up that asks for subscription.

    • Kuldeep

      Yes, you are right. readers are really annoyed by pop-ups.

      There is no need to force readers to subscribe. Just give them basic options they’ll find their way if the really want to follow you up. Right?

  • Harry Sehgal

    Nice Tips. I think if you are sharing Usefull Content, your Subscribers base will automatically grow.

    • Kuldeep

    • Kuldeep

      Yes…. It helps too! But readers even sometime get annoyed by those pop-ups, that’s why I did not mention it in the post!
      Thanks for commenting!

    • http://feeds.feedburner.com/ProbloggingSuccessAbhi Abhi

      Kuldeep is absolutely right, here. I get annoyed by pop-ups. I can find the subscribing option myself if I really want to read more from you, even if you don’t have any subscribing option I’ll bookmark. But, for me and I think, pop-ups aren’t necessary for asking your readers to subscribe.

    • Kuldeep

      Thanks for appreciating this post! OK, let me answer your query. No, you will not loose any backlinks when you move from Blogger to WordPress as you are changing your platform.You will loose your backlinks only if you are changing the domain name. And there is nothing like you need to change your domain name, continue your blog with the same domain name. BTW there are many guides available on the Internet to help you migrate,

    Agree with your words on getting subscribers, one should target on providing useful content and the subscribers will flow in automatically. Also attractive forms do play a key role

    I’d like to add to the above a strategy that’s been working really well for me: use paid ads (such as Google AdWords) strictly to advertise your newsletter.

    Doing this on my blog I’ve managed to keep the click-through-rate low (under 1%) which reflects the fact that few people are interested specifically in signing up for a newsletter on my topic and in turn saves me money.

    Once these people make it on my site, however, they convert at what is, to me, an excellent rate of around 30% (with an overwhelming preference for e-mail over RSS subscription – presumably reflecting a non-blog-savvy audience) using a specialized landing-page.

    So this seems to me like a cost-effective way of obtaining subscriptions early on in the life-cycle of a blog, before it becomes established. Presumably such subscribers are very well-targeted, and what remains is to live up to subscribers’ expectation with quality content, so that they eventually become regular readers.

  • http://umain30.com Main uddin

    As far as my knowledge says that subscription is not the base of traffic .on the other hand subscription some time decrease the readers or visitors because they easily get the details in their inbox so need to visit the host website or blog.How above mentioned points work only for high traffic blog or website.Less or very few visitors blog or website must needs to add more real time blog or website posts first then they can go forward for more traffics.

    • Kuldeep

      You are not saying it right. You are neglecting the importance of subscribers which is a big mistake by you.
