I'm back.
Leave aside my personal blogging.

Today, I'm going to blog about how to hook your readers.

1. Give them Hot News.

If you have a blog that covers news from your niche, you can hook your visitors because you offer news they can’t read somewhere else, or focused news you gather from different sources, and they can find them all in the same place.

2. Give them Hot Community

If you have a community-oriented blog, you should focus on that to hook your visitors, e.g. by encouraging comments, user messaging, discussions and by having a community-target blog design (e.g. having a vote system, big comment count, bonus for top commentators, user profile pages…)

3. Give them Fresh Content

If you write a lot, you may hook your visitors stating that they’ll have fresh content to read every day, e.g. by having a daily column, or a daily “hot pick”.

4. Give them knowledge

If you want to teach something to your reader,you should to tell them what they’re going to learn and how, and you should repeat this often (”Today I’m going to teach you how to do this and that“).

Obviously there are dozen of other hooking strategies, and you’ll probably want to blend more than one together, but I think you should have a clear hooking plan to focus on.

Hope my readers and fellow bloggers will have a better and clearer of hooking your readers. =D
