its help you to get more repeat visitor for your blog in 2021

One of the ways to take your blogging business to an ever-increasing dimension is to make your readers want to go and come back. However, this happens to be a very challenging task.

Everyone on your blog at any point in time will definitely click away no matter the length and usefulness of your content. While we struggle to keep readers much longer to increase dwell time, we must also think of ways to make them remember to always come back for more.
Keeping them longer

Before I delve into giving you some quite useful tips on how to get your readers coming back for more, let’s discuss a little bit on how and why you should try to hold them for some minutes on your websites.

When readers land on your blog, it’s generally because you attracted them with the title of your article.

What people see on Search Engines before clicking to read more of what you have is mainly the title of your article. Of course, the Meta Description counts a lot.

On Social Media, your short description gets attention. How attractive these two elements are (Title and Meta Description) influences your Click Through Rate (CTR)

For someone to click, chances are that you’ve gotten their attention and they are now in the mode to read more. A couple of things must therefore be put in place to make sure they do not pogo-stick or completely close your page:
Your article title and description should be clearly depicted in your article introduction. That’s actually what makes them want to go beyond the intro. If the intro is completely off, it may appear misleading.
Have a friendly formatting of your text. Avoid boring paragraphs and unnecessary long sentences. Use headlines, bullet points, attractive graphics to make the article refreshing.
Avoid distractions on your website.
Improve the load time of your pages.
Link to relevant pages on your blog
I also advice getting premium themes. Generally, you get the best visual representation with them.
But why is it important to improve dwell time?

For readers, it may not be an important metric. For you and any advertisers wishing to gain exposure on your blog, this helps measure the quality of satisfaction your readers get from your blog.

The more time they spend on your blog.

Sites with Average Time on site of 1 minute and above generally do indicate a good content value. If your dwell time stats are below this mark, you should seriously consider doing something about it.

If you care about attracting advertisers to your blog, you should stat fixing issues on your blog and content engagement factors to improve your time on site.

Now, we’ve narrowly dealt with dwell time work hard on driving traffic without injecting in your blog the necessary energy to welcome and keep the visitors.

We know how tough it is to increase blog traffic. Greg has an article on different strategies to promote your blog. There are tons of blog posts out there on the topic of blog promotion and driving traffic.

But that’s just a phase of it all. Here are some tips to help you turn these visitors from different channels to permanent readers.
1. Get a memorable business name

Your name can make or break your business. A complex, difficult-to-pronounce blog name generally would make it difficult for readers to remember your address.

Because of fragile human memories, I will recommend you go in for short and memorable names and avoid confusing characters like hyphens in the name.
2. Be a real person

Having been blogging for over 6 years now, one of the things I found out in the industry is that people want to connect with people. Once they are able to authenticate your identity and love what you do, it’s easier to capture their attention and get them to listen to you.

If you are a solo-blogger, having a clear about-me page that portrays your values as a person is crucial. For bloggers working as a team on one blog, it makes a lot of sense to have an about-page with brief bios of team members and contact details.

I have come across blogs whose about-pages are made up of simple write-ups about their vision and mission. Without a clear presentation of who is behind the blog, it freaks out some readers who would prefer a person-to-person relationship to simply being identified with your blog.
3. Capture their contact elements

The easiest way to get your readers coming back is to get back to them once they are away.

The best way to do this is to get them to give you their contacts or simply give you their consent to push a notification to their browsers each time a new post is published.

Here are three ways this functions:
Get their email addresses to your Email Service provider
Let them follow you on social media
Get them signup to a browser notification app.

Getting the valid email addresses of your readers may sound easy but many have blogged for years without being email to build an email list of 1000 real people.

Creating a list of valid addresses submitted by real people is a hot and broad topic on its own. One of the articles you may want to check out is this on How to Significantly Grow Your Email List with a Lead Magnet

Social Media is on almost everyone’s lips in today’s content marketing world. But it’s still a hard task to get authentic results.

With a plethora of Social Media platforms getting users bewildered and confused, there is real need to get coached and trained by professional on this aspect.
4. Be consistent in content publication

Being consistent is a key factor to succeeding in blogging. The idea is to train your readers to expect more from you on daily, weekly or monthly basis.
