This is a guest post from Nate Desmond of <\/i>SumoMe<\/i><\/a>, plus half a dozen contributors you\u2019ll encounter throughout the article.<\/i><\/p>\n

Too many blogs are plagued by hit-and-run visitors. <\/b>\u00a0These are people who come, read your article, and then melt back into the ether of the internet.<\/p>\n

As much as we love to see spikes in our website visitor analytics, post views are actually useless. \u00a0Unless those visitors do something – buy your course, follow you on Twitter, join your email list – even a large traffic spike will leave you back in the same place a few days later.<\/p>\n

So how can you transform one-time visitors into lifelong readers?<\/b><\/p>\n

Simple: convince them to join your email list.<\/p>\n

Next time you publish a new post, you won\u2019t start over from zero – your new email subscribers will be glad to read your latest writing. Think of it as a great vicious cycle. More emails = more traffic = more sharing = more emails.<\/p>\n

But how do you build your email list?<\/p>\n

\"1sean_dsouza\"<\/a>I wondered the same thing, so I asked major bloggers for their advice. \u00a0Here\u2019s what they said:<\/p>\n

#1. Partner with other bloggers<\/h3>\n

\u201cStrategic alliances help grow the email list. The clients already know and trust the partner and hence the trust is transferred to us as\u00a0well.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Partnerships with other bloggers can help both blogs reach new audiences and build their reach. \u00a0When selecting potential alliances, look for two factors:<\/p>\n

1. Size: While bigger blogs offer bigger rewards, they also are less likely to be interested.<\/p>\n

2. Audience: The more similar your audiences are, the more benefit both blogs will see.<\/p>\n

Keeping these criteria in mind, build a list of 10-20 blogs you\u2019d potentially like to partner with.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example guest post on ProBlogger<\/b><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve selected a these potentials, decide what type of content you\u2019d like to use:<\/p>\n
