Guess what? Blogs are not like newspapers and people do not want them to be newspapers. Blogs are created to be interactive and provide specific content that meets the readers demand. Continue reading how you can turn your visitors into loyal readers that can’t keep away from your blog.
Comments on Your Blogs
Comments on your blogs are a great way to interact. Ask for honest comments at the end of your blog posts and hope that someone answers the call. When you have gotten a comment, then you must reply to the comment. Be sincere and thank the reader for the comment and make him feel special.
Have the mindset that your readers are valuable and every comment you get is priceless. If you like your readers it will show in your posts and readers will pick that up.

Commenting on Your Reader’s Blogs
If the commenter has a website or a blog, then you should visit the commenter’s website and return the favour. Write comments there and show that you are also interested in them.
Many people do not understand how important this is. It shows real two-way feedback and you both will benefit from it.
Conversation with Your Readers
If one of your readers is so involved that he or she sends you a personal message about your blog, I would recommend that you respond. By responding you show that you are interested. Just any type of sort reply will do, but do reply honestly and quickly.
Tweeting with your readers is a great way to make contacts. People that generally retweet your posts are your readers. Thank them for the retweet and ask them how they are doing. Ask questions from your readers and be interested, then they will be interested in you.
Build a list of people that have retweeted your posts and inform them of your new posts. Many people like it, just don’t be too pushy.
