How to Generate More Blog Subscribers

First, Get Your Blog Rolling

If you're in the early stages of blogging, you'll probably want to focus your efforts on getting your blog posts discovered. This might take a while simply because your posts need to gain traffic, which means you need to consistently create and publish awesome blog content.  Speaking of content, remember to keep it focused;  what common questions are prospects asking with regards to your business, product, or service? What challenges are they facing and what solutions can you provide them?

 Once you've written a nice batch of quality posts, optimize them for subscriptions:

• Add a subscription button or email opt-in form at the top of your blog
• Include a short and clear text telling your visitors what your blog covers and what they will get from subscribing
• Implement SEO - target keywords and search phrases so that people can find you
• Plug in your social media proof on your blog - show the number of subscribers your blog has already garnered
• Add social sharing buttons within the post

Your Top Blog Posts Have A Gift - (Re)Use Them Wisely

Your best performing blog posts are like valuable cargo, treasure them. Seriously. Top blog posts garner a lot of organic traffic and you should reap the benefits of that traffic. HubSpot reports 76% of their monthly blog traffic came from older posts that picked up increased views overtime and continue to do so. Capitalize on your most popular posts or pages by optimizing them strategically for higher subscriptions: add CTA's, update SEO, promote them again with an opt-in checkbox.
