If you find the idea of earning followers for a new blog unnerving, you are not alone. Every blogger goes through the same anxiety. But there’s no reason to worry. There are some simple and powerful ways to earn followers for a new blog.

Here’s the top 5 that you can immediately start using:
​






Proven strategies to earn followers for your new blog.



1. Start with Your Family and Friends
Isn’t it a bit obvious? Yes, it is. But pause for a moment and think, do they know about your blog? No, they, at times, don’t come to know that you have a blog. So, all you got to do is write a Facebook post regarding your new blog. You can talk about what the blog is about and also share the URL.

You can also send an email to your personal contacts regarding your new blog. More importantly, you can seek their feedback too. You can engage them this way and earn your first few readers and followers.
​

You can also request them to forward the link of your blog to those who may be interested in reading on this topic.
First few followers are vital for your blog and hence, you must not hesitate in starting with your family and friends!

2. Leave Comments on Others’ Blogs

​Commenting on the others’ blogs can give you a lot of benefits in terms of branding, backlinking and of course, traffic.

Being a part of a conversation is the key in blogging. It could be someone else’s blog that you read and have some ideas that you want to share. Once you leave comments, people get to know about you. It helps your branding.

When you comment on others’ blogs, you will obviously get to leave a link of your blog. This will generate traffic to your blog.
While leaving comments, you should make sure that you add value and say something specific. Avoid leaving generic and short comments like “Great post” and “Amazing information” etc. You should explain what you liked about the post. If you have any additional information regarding the topic, you should share the same.

It does not matter how many blogs you comment upon. Don’t focus on quantity. You may comment on a few blogs but quality of your comments matters the most.

So, start leaving comments on others’ blogs and entice new followers to your new blog!

3. Join Facebook Groups for Bloggers
Being a part of the community helps in any business. The same holds true about blogging.

There are numerous Facebook groups for bloggers that you can join and be a part of the bloggers’ community and network.
This will enable you to come in contact with several bloggers. Some would be like you, starting out on a new journey. You can exchange notes with them regarding how they are building an audience. You can take a leaf out of their book and implement.

There would be some who have already reached somewhere. So they can mentor and coach you regarding how to earn new followers for your blog.

In any case, there will lots and lots to learn from each one.

Don’t try and push your blog here too much. Be a humble learner and focus on how you can use the insights to earn new followers for your blog!

4. Use Your URL in Social Media Bios

​You can leverage social media to promote your blog as well.

On any social media site that you are using, you must have noticed an option to add a website link to your profile.

In the case of certain sites, it may stand out. In others, it may not but it’s definitely there. For instance, it will be easily visible on your Twitter profile compared to Facebook profile.

You can devise your own strategy regarding whether you want to use your personal and page of your blog on the same account. For instance, you can create a new account on Twitter as a blogger and you can continue to have your personal account as well.

On Facebook, you need to create a page from your personal account because if you create a new account as a blogger and create a page for your blog, you will have no friends who can like and follow that page. You will need to start from scratch. Therefore, you should use your personal account and add a page of your blog.

In any case, social media holds the key to a lot of online success today. You can capitalize on hundreds of friends and contacts on social media and get them to read and follow your blog!

Like commenting on others’ blogs, you can also explore different forums on which there’s a larger audience to benefit from.

On a forum like Quora, you can find questions related to any given topic. If you explore it, you will find questions related to your blog topic as well. You can answer questions and get instant visibility among tens of thousands of people who access Quora.

You might find this odd but a lot of celebrity bloggers and writers also post answers here. So, there’s no reason to hesitate.

However, avoid placing general comments and focus on answering questions in a proper way. You should be careful regarding the answers you post as well. You should first read other answers and avoid repeating ideas which others have already shared. Try and create value on Quora and other forums, you will get a lot of attention that you aspire for!

Parting Note
Earning followers for your new blog could take a bit of an effort and it could make you anxious, at times.

However, there are proven strategies as discussed in this post which can yield tangible results.

All you got to do is work around these simple but powerful ways to earn new followers and the rest will fall in place!
