Strategy to feed a blog
Borrowing a term from journalism, to keep a blog alive, you need to ‘feed the monster’. You also need to show honesty, transparency, and passion. You need to keep the conversation going regularly and intelligently to keep the readership interested – not much different than any publication. And, of course, you need to keep on top of the comments, participating in the conversation on your blog and on other blogs as well (especially if they comment on your posts).
When you do blog, keep your posts short and to the point. Participate (post or comment) regularly and actively. And, make it easy for the blogger (if you leave a comment) or a reader (if you have your own blog) to contact you.
