A top-notch strategy to catch and keep devoted readers is to reach out through their inbox. [Tweet this!]
Ever noticed why so many bloggers include calls-to-action asking you to subscribe to email newsletters? Shameless plug, including this awesome freebie that absolutely all bloggers should be using!
This week I’m sharing a foolproof approach to keep your blog readers engaged and coming back for more!
Remember, last time we talked we focused on the importance of connecting with our audience. We agreed that real, meaningful and authentic interaction with our readers is the best way to build our blogging communities.
This time we’re taking it one step further. I’m going to do a little matchmaking between you and your readers, something I’ve learned oodles about through the Rock Your Blog course I’m currently working through. If you want your blog to reel you in a full-time income, I couldn’t recommend clicking over to enroll now in Bonnie’s fab workshop.
Check out everything you need to know to make readers fall madly in love with you over at Reasons to Skip the Housework where I’m guest posting today.
See you there!

I’ve seen this before and was really curious! Clicking to check out more, it looks really good!
Hope it helps you skyrocket your blog following, Mary Frances! You’ve got great content that I’m sure people are flocking to already. Thank you for stopping by today.
Headed over to check it out.
I’ve been wanting to do a newsletter but I’m a little hesitant due to the fact that it’s law that you have your address on your newsletter. I don’t like the idea of that, so I would have to get a PO Box… which costs money, so that’s where I’m at.
That being said… off I go to read your post!
Wishing you a lovely day.

I know what you mean about the postal address. Kind of bizarre, I agree. My family uses my husband’s grandparent’s PO Box here in C.R. so it’s no big deal, but I can see how it would become burdensome to mess with opening an account just for that. Maybe you could ask a friend/family member to use theirs? To be quite honest, I have a small list of subscribers but still haven’t even sent out a newsletter. Eek! Need to get on that!
I’m so lucky to have you as a blog contributor! Love your tips… and those cream cheese cupcakes over there –>> dying!
Smiles,
Melanie 🙂

You’re just trying to make me smile, aren’t you?! Thanks so much for stopping by, Zainab. Hope you’re in the middle of a fantastic weekend.
I’m in the process of building my email list so I can’t wait to click over and read the rest.
Way to go starting an email list, Jenny! If you want even more resources to build your list like wildfire, be sure to visit Natalie Lussier and sign up for her newsletter building challenge. It’s great!

Happy to hear that, Krista! Hope you settle in with a good hot drink and learn lots. Thank you so much for stopping by!
Great information for a rookie blogger like myself. Truth is I feel like it is such a steep learning curve.
Chris, I can completely relate with how overwhelming it seems to build a following, learn the ropes of social media, and make money blogging. These things are constantly changing and it’s hard to keep on top of it all, but if you set doable goals each week/month, you’ll be on top of your game and finding that you really do have loyal readers who care about what you have to say, since you’ve got a unique voice and a unique position all your own. If you want even more tips for getting to know your readers, I’d highly recommend this course.
