Its About the Hook - Not the Content
Granted content is a plus plus, but quite honestly there is more to it then just posting content you need a way to hook people. I see a lot of blogs talking about this is what you do and etc, but the honest facts are no one is going to share there trade secrets there just posting quality content to get people famaliar with what there doing or maybe give them some tips.
I mean think of it how many times do you go to a blog and they share there in depth secrets it don’t happen. Which granted I’ll be honest I know we don’t I don’t share every single thing, but then again in a way if you have been around my blog for awhile you have probably learned some things cause I have gave out some pretty valuable information, thats for sure.
When starting a blog and trying to get links you need to think virally use things thats going to hook people into your feed such as e-books, free give aways, and etc. Always make sure you promote your bait in areas that people are going to nibble on. You need a market place to promote your bait whether its through adwords, search engines, forums, social networks site such as Digg, Reddit, and etc.
The bait is where its at, which granted content does help and content can be the bait, but generally it gets deeper then that speaking your wanting to increase your feed faster and if this is the case find out how your going to hook people which you can use content to hook people, but you need to tunnel them into your feed some how and this is something you must figure out but as time goes on you’ll find multiple things that work then before you know it you will be replicating it into other things and it will just keep you expanding.
The good thing is when your feed does start to grow you got leverage, so for example once you hit that 1000 mark start leveraging it which you should be leveraging the rss subscribers all the time, but generally at this stage you got more to work with such as leverage for market.
