Dear Friend,
No one reading your posts?
Are you worried of not getting visitors to your posts?
Why is it that no one cares about your posts?
Not to worry! If you are looking for answers for any of the above questions, in this post “No One Reading Your Posts? Here’s 4 Reasons Why” I am going to share you with the reasons and also gonna give you the solutions which will help you.
Whether you started your blog intending for it to become big, or just thought it was a fun hobby, almost every blogger gets to a point where they want their content to be read.
This could be because you believe you have something important to say, or could just be because you need some extra cash, but, whatever the reason, it is incredibly frustrating when you’re not getting the attention you think you deserve.
There are lots of successful blogs out there, but there are many more that have failed, so if you want to be a part of the former group (successful blogs), then here are some reasons why you might not be getting attention, and how you can change that. Are you ready?

You’ve Just Started
“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.” – Napoleon Hill
When I started my blogging career I will be keep on checking my traffic on Google analytics, of course not great numbers. The only person visited my blog regularly is Paul (That’s me). When I felt bad my mentors and my blogging friends informed and motivated me by saying “Paul it will take time and you keep doing your work”.
So here is my advice, “Dear Friend it will take time and you keep doing your work”.
You can’t just start a blog and expect people to know who you are and that your content is great and start reading immediately. It takes time to build an empire. Patience and continuous effort is the key in the initial stages of your blogging career.
Blogging is hard, and it takes a lot of time, hard work, and blog posts to get to a point where you can say “Yeah, I’m successful”. Luckily, there is plenty that you can do to build up your readership at the beginning, such as…
- Posting on guest blogs.
- Increasing your SEO.
- Building up a large social media following. And the list goes on…
Your Titles Are Boring
Titles and headlines plays the vital role in grabbing the readers attention. A poor title will render your article invisible. Your title need to create the urge to read your post.
Headline – Many Experts Copywriters conclude that 80% of your effort should be focused on crafting an attention-grabbing headline. Also most importantly it needs to qualify him/her so he/she (reader) must read on.
The first thing that your visitors are going to read is your blog titles, so you have to make sure that they are catchy and enticing, or the post itself won’t get read.
To ensure your titles are interesting, there are a bunch of different things that you can do. These include adding numbers to make your post a list, using strong language, like “love” and “hate”, asking your reader a question, and adding some alliteration.
There’s A LOT Of Words
While writing a post please make sure to write the post in between 1000 to 1500 words. This will help you to provide detailed information and also it will help you in SEO to get more organic traffic. Please don’t write an ebook, post is different from an ebook. Make it short and precise. Provide the readers with value.
No one wants to read lots huge chunks of information one after another, especially if they are reading on a small device, like a cell phone. If all of your posts are like this, you’re practically turning readers away. Instead, break your posts down into smaller paragraphs and add pictures or flowcharts to split them up.
If you don’t know how to make flow charts, you could take a microsoft visio course. This makes your content a lot more digestible to readers.
You’re Not Consistent
“Lack of consistency can bring on a lack of interest.”
Consistency is the key for your success in the blogging world and consistency is what transform average into excellence.
As a blogger, your aim should be to grow a large and loyal following that read all of your posts, rather than the odd one here and there. Unfortunately, you are never going to do this if you post inconsistently and leave all of your readers waiting.
Trust me, even the most loyal readers will get bored at some point, and will move onto a blog that regularly posts, completely forgetting about you. You don’t need to be posting every single day. At least once a week write a new blog. And always keep your readers wanting more. And if your readers are interested then go 2-3 blogs per week to keep them coming back and interested.

Hi Paul,
Your articles and information are always so helpful, especially to me as a newbie. I am a little under 3 months into this business, have excellent coaching and tips from more experienced bloggers like you, and I am implementing the things I learn. I really love the idea that what I have to say, that I put my heart and soul into, will impact readers lives – when they start to find me! The reminder that it just takes time is so important to hear. I am excited, and I am waiting!
Dear Annie,
I am glad my posts are helpful to you thanks for sharing that. Thanks for visiting my website often.
You are doing great job with your website (I visited your website) keep up the good work. Yes heart and soul, love what you do… Success will follow. Adding value is the key.
Your Friend,
Paul
Hey Paul, great article my friend. Love browsing through your website because you give simple details how to make my business better.
In the beginning, getting people to read my post was a big problem and I wanted to quit. But as you rightfully said that I need to give my posts some time, and that is so true. I always believe that once my keyword is in there that would do the trick, I guess not.
You bring up a valid point about consistency. I realize that the more I post on a continuous basis is the more traffic that comes to my website. What would you determine as consistency? In other words, how much times should I write an article and post it so that it will help my website to gain ranking? Keep up the good work.
Dear David,
I am happy to hear you found some useful information on my site and I am excited when you said you love browsing my site. Yes absolutely it takes time and patience that’s the key.
In other words, how much times should I write an article and post it so that it will help my website to gain ranking?
Many experts advice to post at least 3 times a week. And you post need to be with long tail keywords and low hanging fruits which will help in your rankings.
Thanks for stopping by, Hope this helps!
Your Friend,
Paul
You are so right when you say it takes time and persistence. One has to be willing to invest the time necessary to grow your blog and be recognized by Google as an authority site. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Dear Craig,
Yes our aim is to grow from author to authority for that as you rightly said “One has to be willing to invest the time necessary to grow your blog and be recognized by Google as an authority site”. Patience and persistence is the key.

Hello Paul, yet another great post from you! I so like the idea of being connected to our readers, and knowing what they want.Blogging is all about relationship marketing. And if we write epic books they will not be read. It is important to be respectful to our readers. in peace and gratitude, ariel
Dear Ariel,
Thanks for your motivation and reading my posts continuously. I do agree with you when you stated “Blogging is all about relationship marketing” yes, we are not building links but we are building relationship. Much success!
Paul
