Think about what you want to stand for and who you really are. Be very specific.

Stick to a pattern of how often you post content – is it once a day, for instance? Maybe, you need to make your updates weekly so try to do it on the same day each week. And, remember less is more. Always go for quality, not quantity.
Do the same for your newsletters, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram posts.

Meet them where they are and try to find ways to connect with them so they will follow you back. Read stories about how other successful bloggers increased their social media numbers.

You should also look closely at Google Analytics to help find out where your traffic is coming from. This is called Referral Traffic. Similar to before, you want to explore ways to encourage more referral traffic from the sources it has come from. If you see a lot of people following you from Facebook then think about making more specially designed content from there. The same goes for Pinterest or Instagram.
8. Follow Similar Communities
Whatever area you are in, there is probably a community out there based around it already. So why not join in with them and what they are doing. Apart from anything you’ll probably enjoy mixing with like-minded people.
9. Ask Your Loyal Followers for Help
Look at your loyal followers and enlist their support. You may want to ask questions about what they’d like to see more of. Recently when I interviewed Steve Wozniak, I asked my audience what questions should I ask. To be honest, the best questions came from my audience. And, Steve Wozniak loved it, too.
