Creating a blog, no matter what your topic is, is easy. The Internet has tons of free blogging sites that you can use to do it. However, without a stable base of loyal readers, it won't matter one bit how much work you put into creating amazing content or a beautiful site design. You need to put work into your whole blog if you want to make it sticky. There are a lot of reasons that a person will choose to visit a blog over and over again but trying to take on all of those reasons at once isn't a good idea. This is why the slow and steady approach to building blog stickiness is best; it allows you to grow alongside your blog.

Highlighting the posts on your blog that are popular is one of the best ways to turn your visitors into loyal readers. There's a good reason why these kinds of posts have gotten popular; existing readers like them because they offer quality content. Why would you allow this content to be buried deep in your blog?

Make it super easy for your visitors to read these posts by build a section of links for them in your site. In a way, you're showing your visitors what kind of content you offer and what they can expect in the future - a good enough reason for them to keep coming back.

Create a kind of an anticipation on your blog and have your readers want for more.

For example, if you create a series of posts on a certain or particular topic and see that your readers get greatly enthused about those posts and are interacting with each other about them, you can be positive that they are going to look for more content that is like that series. You want to create the sense of need in your readers and that is why building momentum is important. This gives them the incentive to subscribe to your blog and it increases your stick rate.

One of the best ways to increase your blog's "sticky" rate is to work on the branding that you do for your site. This can help your blog stand out from everybody else as the brand you create should be instantly recognized for its worth and value for helping people understand what your goal is about. This needs to then be infused into everything you use to make your image stronger to viewers like content, design and logo. This will build a unique selling point for your blog that can help you build your readership base.

To wrap up: the above article helps us understand that a simple blog can quickly be turned into a popularity magnet just by focusing on little things. While it will undoubtedly take some time to build a big readership and see big results, what matters most is making sure that as many people discover your blog as possible. If you can build a strong following for your blog and brand and are able to regularly offer your readers the kind of content that they really want to read, you can go as far as you want to go.
