These Five Actionable Principles

 To whether you're building an online audience for your  YouTube channel, for your podcast, whether you want email subscribers, blog readers-whatever that metric is, these Principles Will apply to building an online audience.

So let's do it.

1# Highlight Your Human Sides,

 Video to highlight your human sides, Whether we're talking about a home page video that welcomes new readers to your blog or something else entirely if you're able to use video in a way that can introduce you to readers in a more human way rather than just written content-I've been blogging professionally for over eight then you'll be able to build a more lasting connection with them. Beyond that, filming videos that are tutorial-based, how-to, instructional, step-by-step walkthroughs of a process that you want to teach to your readers is a great way to pair that with your existing written content and add more depth to the Subject than you otherwise can't cover in the same way with written content. And the best thing is that You don't need any fancy equipment.

You can use your smartphone, a tripod may be, a ring light if you want to get real fancy with it. But what's important is that you're filming content in a way that connects directly with your readers. And I recommend hosting those videos on YouTube, naturally, where it's one of the world's largest search engines. So the Article can also serve as a great discovery tool for introducing new readers to your content, let alone engaging with your existing readers.

2# Publications

Build your personal brand-new by getting featured in publications in your, niche now it might be a stretch to aim Straight for the top, the Forbes, Entrepreneurs,  of the world. But if you can focus instead on top industry-level publications in your niche, then that's a great way to begin building your personal brand-new and forging some of the relationships that can go on to help you promote your blog content in the months and years to come. If your blog is still brand-new today, focus instead on pitching guest posts for sites that are a few steps ahead of where your blog is today, think about websites that are getting in the thousands or tens of thousands of readers. And make sure those readers are within your target market, the people you want to reach and eventually attract to your own blog. Then, as you gain more traction, both on your own blog and with your guest-posting efforts on other websites, you'll be able to reach consistently higher-tier websites and eventually publications, which will help you to, again, keep building that personal brand and attract larger and larger audiences back to your site.

3# Design Your Content

To offer great value to your readers. If you want to attract a big audience to your blog, your YouTube channel, your podcasts, you have to actually offer value in a way that your readers want to receive it. That means content that's highly engaging with them. Not just the best information out there, but delivered and packaged in a way that people can actually benefit from it and take action on what you're showing them.

A few ways you can do this is by being 

The most comprehensive resource out there within your niche, Another way might be just being after the most approachable, easiest, most, friendly to absolute beginners in a way that holds their hand through a step-by-step process. And another third way might just be having the most clearly structured types of blog posts out there that offer really simple, clear insights to your readers in a way that they can quickly find the information they're seeking and move along with their day. People tend to remember the blogs and brands that they enjoy their interactions with most, so keep your focus on delivering a way that you can stand out from the crowd from all the other competitors within your niche.

4# Craft, A Great

 5# In-Depth write

Answers on popular online forums in your space. One of the best techniques I've had for growing my own audience is to approach these online forums, where I know my readers are already spending their time online, and really invest in spending time answering the questions that are really popular on these types of forums within my niche. For me, this translates into writing answers to blogging-related questions on websites like Quora, Product Hunt, Growth Hackers, Reddit, sites that really have a core concentration of people who are interested in blogging. And then within some of my answers again, not all of them, but within some, when it feels appropriate will link out to a blog post on my site where someone can learn more about the topic that I'm writing an answer about here Now, this kind of strategy won't draw tons of traffic overnight. But it's a slow trickle that does add up to a meaningful stream of highly targeted people coming to your blog over months and years if you keep consistent with it. At the end of the day, it takes time to grow an online audience. There's no escaping the reality of the fact that building an online business and attracting people to your blog, Your YouTube channel, your podcast, is an endeavor that just simply takes time. You'll have to rinse, repeat, experiment, of course. But I can promise you, it's well worth the effort.
