Hello guys,

Its been while.. I am quite busy with my other blogs and projects.. Anyways back to the topic How To Get Lots Of Subscribers In Very Less Time:..

Content. This blog started out a little vile to say the least… I used to swear a lot online at the beginning, although this has lessened (unless I come across someone really annoying). Of late though, which is the last few months, I started trying to put out good, useful content that would help people in all aspects of internet marketing – there wasn’t really a place that I thought people could go to, as I found blogs completely useless while I was learning to do, so I wanted to become that blog – the one people would recommend to friends that had helped them positively.

If you want to run a blog, good content is key. What is good is subjective, as people see different things as good, however what you want is content that appeals to your niche, that isn’t too long or too short and to be as honest as you possibly can.

Contests. No matter how small or how large your blog, you’ll always be able to get contests sponsored if you approach advertisers well. In the beginning, I had to contact people myself… but these days all I have to do is put up a post and people will be willing to sponsor something – as well as the emails offering various sponsored items.

Forum Marketing. When I started promoting this blog, it was getting 3,000 or more uniques monthly through forum marketing alone. Choose a large forum, stick up a catchy signature link and post stuff that adds value. This works for any niche, btw.

Aweber. It’s easier to get people to opt in to an Aweber list than Feedburner – however, for me everyone that opts into the former gets the latter. Offer an incentive for people to subscribe (in my case, I offered an eBook); whenever people sign up to my list they get a list of posts every ten days. If they like the posts, they can subscribe through Feedburner for daily updates.

Why Subscribe. I added a page that talked about why people should subscribe to the feed, and it’s getting a decent amount of visitors (that I’m assuming convert) monthly. Presell visitors to your blog – remember, you’re trying to ’sell’ them on subscribing to your blog and offering reasons is a great way to do so.

Testimonials. People always want to check these out on a site – it’s always good to see what others are saying. I’ve a testimonial page that offers people a backlink in exchange for a couple sentences about the site, and it benefits everyone.

Creative marketing. Two, maybe two and a half months ago this blog had something like 400 subscribers (just before the beginning of Blogging Idol – I honestly can’t remember the date that started) – now it is 1,000. Around 250 – 300 of that is because of the Aweber integration, but other than that I’ve done some creative marketing – the password protected post (which I’ll talk in depth about) added another 200 odd subscribers over the course of that week. I do little to no active promotion of this blog nowadays, that is promoting it on other sites.

Guest posts. Unique, interesting guest posts win. Put out something that gets people to think on another blog and they will visit your site. I don’t do guest posts these days, although I’m thinking of submitting a few just to shake things up… we’ll see.

Comments. Comment on other blogs like you would write guest posts – I comment not for exposure, but because I like the blogger or the post. Comment enough when you start out and people will comment back.

Competition. I had a competition with five bloggers a while ago, which I won – seeing who could increase their RSS the most in a month. I also am currently running a site flip competition, which will start soon – people subscribe because they want to be updated on that kind of stuff, as it’s interesting (think how many people were interested in the Top Affiliate Challenge, even though it was shit).

Controversy. I’ve never been scared of ‘outing’ people that annoy the hell out of me or are doing stuff I don’t agree with, no matter how big – as with the above, people love a lil drama.

Interaction. I’m a guy you guys can ask questions, as long as I’m not busy, tired, drunk / stoned and you’re not annoying. I’ve helped quite a few over the last few months that have come directly from the blog, and I’d hope most of that help has been useful. Although I haven’t really replied to many emails of late, as I’ve been busy going out and stuff, I do try and follow up with whatever I can.
