THINGS THAT MAKES OUR BLOG ABANDONED BY READERS

Confused why your blog initially crowded, slowly became so quiet? Even the follower who used to be very interactive no longer appears on the page for member comment?

Kind of question that often occurred in the minds of the bloggers. Actually there are several "sins" committed by bloggers without realizing it, which makes the popularity of his blog slump. 


1. Impetuous


When we feel that our blog crowded, and became popular among bloggers, there is a fatal mistake done by the blog owner. That is, to rush in monetizing their blogs. They put ads everywhere and post things that are less useful to the reader, for advertising or traffic fishing. It makes readers bored and finally leaves your blog.


2. Too Self-Confident

It happens a lot among bloggers. When the blog begin popular, he/she acted as if they knew everything. Too high self-confidence makes people "fet up", and reluctant to visit your blog. Do not impose your opinions on others, and try to accept people's opinions.


3. Loosing quality


It often happens, in order to pursuit the number of blog posts, then a decline in quality happens. They just pursue for the quantity, without taking into account the quality of the content. Long-time readers of the blog will be realized, and will finally leave the blog.


4. Less concerned with the reader 


Try to interact with the readers, what exactly they hope from your blog. Interactions like this are very useful as an input to bloggers, so they can understand what their readers’ tastes. Readers also feel appreciated, and will feel bad to leave your blog.


You write a blog and not for yourself. There's an audience or readers who enjoy your writing. So try not to think too much about personal opinion, but also consider and appreciate their presence. Like I said before blog content which too "selfish" only makes the reader away.

5. Inconsistent and No focus

There are several blogs that less consistent in posting updates and have no focus on the theme of the content, so the reader does not catch exactly what the blogger has to say. Try setting the theme, and focus on the theme so as not to stray anywhere and consistently post updates.
