First, may I say, getting subscribers is not easy. It takes work, regardless if you are managing a blog or not. If you are running a blog, a subscriber count could be the easiest thing to improve though.

When it comes to numbers for this site, I have three major goals that I try to accomplish. I try to get more unique visitors, I look for ways to keep them engaged longer (more pageviews per session), and I try to get more subscribers. I have the goals broken down in easy steps that I believe I can accomplish, and try to keep the three in sync.

I Did It!

400

So this morning I awoke to find the pleasant surprise of breaking 400 RSS subscribers. No doubt on Saturday, it will drop down again.

The Easiest Goal

For my three main goals I have broken them down into five easy steps. I have already accomplished the first two steps for all three, and have now just finished one of my goals for the third step, hitting 400 subscribers. Something I have noticed while looking at my notes? Getting subscribers has been the easiest.

With a blog, a bigger challenge is getting more pageviews per user session.  I doubled my RSS count since last goal, but am only trying to increase my pages per session by 7% for the same step. Note to self…I still need to accomplish that goal.

Hits, pageviews, or subscribers, what’s easier for you?

  1. Well, highlighting the subscribe box and making your readers aware of the benefits of subscribing to your posts, serve a lot in increasing Email subscriber count. About pageviews, internally linking various articles and related posts widget helped me in almost doubling my pageviews. But, the most difficult is increasing unique views. This one requires working on SEO and also patience.
    Just my two cents.
