Comment on related blogs as a means of attracting new interest in yours. Google Reader allows you to organize your blogs by folder. Make a folder for the blogs you most want to follow so that you can find them when you want them. Comment on them on a regular basis whenever you want to say something.
Blog often. A common, and critical mistake that bloggers make is not providing updates often enough. Without updates, the readers, whose attention you grab at the beginning, will quickly tire of waiting for new content. You need to post at least once a week, and use a service, like Feedburner, to allow your readers to receive email notification of your new post.
Resist all temptation to copy from research articles, other blogs or anything else that you come across that is written by someone else. Nobody takes plagiarism lightly, and employing this tactic will unquestionably be very counterproductive to your efforts at establishing yourself as a reputable writer. Successful blogging is more about displaying your passion for your subject than writing like a professional.
Remember that you have a life outside of blog posting. Failing to give yourself some time off and away from the computer will lead to dangerous burnout. Go for a walk with friends, or take a long important link bath. This time will let you come back to your blog ready to produce some great content.
There is no better time to start your blog than now. While success is not guaranteed, and it takes time to develop a readership, some do better than others. Use the tips suggested in this article if you want to increase your number of followers.
