Effective Ways to Get More Blog Subscribers

When you try to create a successful blog, you must create a loyal subscriber base for following you. Of course, step one includes quality content, the second one is Loyal Blog Subscribers. In most cases, this option, “Subscribe” is ignored by both the author and visitor. But Email Subscription can divert massive traffic, study shows.
Here are a few steps that can help blog authors to catch more subscribers, apparently who becomes loyal regular visitors after a few push email links.
Quality Content

The most important and number one step is, “Provide Quality Content”. If your content is properly written, focused, easy to read and serves proper information – your readers will love to subscribe your blog.

Use bullet points

Bullet points, or numbered points can make writing an article a lot simpler in terms of organization because you no longer have to figure out transitions from one idea to the next. The great side benefit is that readers like lists; they’re easier for the eye to follow.

Keep it short

Keep your article short, simple and under 600/500 words. This helps your visitor read properly. If you make long boring contents, your visitor will go away just having a look at the length.
Catchy Image and Info-graphic
Use a few eye catching images and info-graphics in your post. An image makes much more impression than just text.

Make it easy and obvious:

Make your subscription options prominent, offer an email alternative to RSS, and ask for the subscription, preferably at the bottom of each post.

Make Sharing Option Easy to Reach

If you put easy sharing buttons at top and bottom of the post, it helps visitors to share and like your content over Social Networking Websites.

Offer a bribe

Yes, another way to get more subscribers is Bribing them. You can bribe them with a Free eBook, A free Video Clip, A Free Tutorial Video, A Free Report etc. And know what? It works magically!

Use Viral eBooks/How To Videos

You can also get more subscribers by offering them a free Viral eBook or How To Video like “Subscribe and get a free copy of How to Earn $100 a Day eBook1” or “Subscribe and GET FREE ACCESS to our Online Money Making Video!”. In this case, subscriber will get the promised item just after he/she subscribes and confirms his/her subscription.

Become a guest blogger

Yes, you have your own blog but you can also be a guest blogger to a Heavy Traffic website where you write your Guest Blogs and spread your own blog with backlink at Author Bio or Comments.

Post in forums

Posting in high traffic forums helps you to get visitors, and obviously you know how to make them your subscribers

Write or Die 2

“Write or Die” is a very interesting title, no doubt. Currently this one is at it’s version 2.0.8. Here is a few lines from the main website about it’s service
“Write or Die is an application for Windows, Mac and Linux which aims to eliminate writer's block by providing consequences for procrastination and, new to this version, rewards for accomplishment. Historically Write or Die has specialized in being the stick in the carrot/stick motivation continuum, but it's time to experiment with encouragement.”

ZenPen:

“ZenPen ~ Minimal Distraction, Maximum Zen” – is a very handy tool for any freelance writer who depends on online writing app. You just visit ZenPen website, remove the default article called “This is ZenPen” by Tim Holman and Start your writing!


And now, at the end, a few utility tools:

Wordcounter
Most office suites and text editors have a function for counting the words you’ve written and measuring related metrics, but if you ever find yourself without a way to measure word count, Wordcounter will get the job done.

Cliché Finder
Clichés have their place in language but overuse can lead to writing that sounds juvenile, full of filler, or just plain lazy. Thankfully, the Cliché Finder tool will mark every instance of cliché that it finds so you can cut them out. Unfortunately, it only supports the English language.
oTranscribe
If you do a lot of writing that involves transcribing audio into words, oTranscribe can make your life a lot easier. It supports audio files (e.g., MP3, OGG, WAV) and video files (e.g., MP4, WEBM). Straightforward and no fuss.
BibMe
Compiling a bibliography or works cited page can be a big drain of time, especially for publications that are hundreds of pages. BibMe automatically generates a bibliography for you according to whichever standard you choose (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) and it can handle media ranging from books to newspapers, websites to films, and more.
