Story telling is hard as hell.

I’m working on my skills one piece at a time. “Inciting incidents” is my current focus.

Taking the long term (but not too long) view helps as well. My material isn’t “tightly” focused for short term results, but for the long term, I’m amassing a huge amount of quality material.

I think it comes down to doing whatever it takes to attract a loyal audience with anything in life. Of course being honest at the same time. That’s all it takes in my opinion and consistency is always a factor. Do that and keep learning and adapt to changes and not giving up will get you there… probably. :)

Good tips here but nothing beats simple hard work and long hours. I have been growing blogs for the last couple of years now and that is the one consistant thing that always works. The technologies and the widgets and Twitter and all those sorts of things change all the time and can be hard to keep up with but hard work never ever fails! Just work on your goal and keep focus and your blog will grow, of that I could not be more sure!

Speaking to your best customers is something I am working on. When I started I just thought that well, I’ll just blog. Then as I began to develop some blogging muscles I realized that you can’t just blog and hope that the world will come to your door. My best customer is morphing … the more I write, the better acquainted I become with that person…

wishing you continued success……………..valentina

@SMG, I think that sticking to the niche is the difficult for a lot of bloggers. I know I have trouble with that, so I have ended up starting half a dozen blogs about different subjects. Eventually, one of them rose to the top as the one I am most interested in.

@Gabe, telling stories is one of the oldest, and if used right, most valuable skills. I need to work on this.

Storytelling is severely under-rated. Being able to hit hard with a compelling intro, keep readers interested with a memorable story and lesson, and tying everything together with a strong finish is an art form many bloggers miss the mark on. .-= Gabe | freebloghelp.com´s last blog ..The Best Reviews of ‘2009 in Review’ =-.

Excellent post! Relevancy of a blog is the most single important thing to get a loyal audience. When you have decided the topic of your blog, then you must stick to it, there is no other way. If go on sidetracks, your readers who look for specific content do not like it. Just keep in your niche and you will make it.
