Try to throw in random and off-topic posts once in a while. You will be surprised to see how well the readers would like it. Doing this would not only entertain the readers but would also let them see your flipside. However, keep the frequency of these surprise blog posts to a minimum.
4) Ask for their opinions
Ask your readers for suggestions for future topics. This will make them feel their importance to you but would also enable you to get a better idea what your audience is looking for. Plus, it would save you the time on pondering for new topics.
5) Get feedback
Another good way to keep interacting with your blog readers it to occasionally ask for their feedback of a particular post or any changes that you have made in your blog. This will let you know what changes you can make in your blog, what tweaks in your blog design would be better and more.
A good blog is the one in which the readers are active and are connected with the blogger. Engaging with the readers is very important and by following these tips you would certainly succeed in doing so.
