Today’s episode of the ProBlogger Podcast<\/a>\u00a0is part two of a mini Finding Readers series (you can find out more about part one here in the Two Questions to Ask to Help You Find Readers for Your Blog<\/a>), and it’s all about what<\/em> you’re writing when it comes to getting traffic.<\/p>\n

After you’ve asked yourself those two very important questions in the previous podcast, you can move on to fulfilling that brief on your blog with today’s.<\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about the journey I’ve taken in blogging, and as I look back I can see that the strategies and techniques I used to drive traffic weren’t as important as the content<\/strong> on my blog. I’ll talk about what I mean in a few episodes’ time (as you may find those techniques useful yourself), but today it’s all about what you’re serving to your readers.<\/p>\n

In this episode I go over the two things I think you should provide to your community which will both help you grow that community and find new readers, and also keep the current ones sticking around. It’s really important, particularly if you are at the start of your blogging journey. I would recommend that if that is<\/em> you, that you focus on today’s topic 100%, before you worry about anything else. It’s real foundation stuff that will not only help you now, but will reap you the benefits in years to come.<\/p>\n

As always you can listen to the podcast below or on today’s show notes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear your feedback on this topic, so feel free to chat here or in the comments on the show notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
