3. Foster engagement
   As writers, we want to be read. As bloggers, engaging your audience with “sticky” content that will keep people reading and coming back for more relies on engagement. There are lots of ways to engage your readers, finding the ones that work for you might take some time but will pay off handsomely.

4. Network with other bloggers
   Growing a blog is something that’s much easier with the help of others. Whether you’re networking with other authors who are starting out, or landing a guest gig on a massive blog in your niche, we all need a network for success. This is the very foundation of getting serious traffic to your blog.

5. Profit from your blog
   Some bloggers want to make money, some want to sell books. Others blog to “save the world” or advance a policy position. No matter how you define success, this is the step where you begin to reach your goals.

I hate to see those abandoned blogs, and I know you can do better than that. If you’ve got any questions, please leave them in the comments.

A Request For You

As part of my job I spend a lot of time looking at author blogs. Some are good, some are not, and some are clearly way above average. They foster community, reader engagement, and build a readership or community that are sustaining.

But I’m only seeing a little slice of the pie.

*So here’s my request: do you know a great author blog? I’d love to hear about it. Please leave a link to the blog in the comments, and say a few words about what makes it so great.

Thanks!
