As some of you already know I have had a blog for about 2 months now. I have learned from many of you how to make my blog better with more content and how to build traffic. Well I want to thank those of you who have given me all of this great advice because I have been getting tons of traffic to my blog. Anyway I was wondering from those of you who already have subscribers, how did you get them? I have a feedburner button on my blog already so it will be easier for people to subscribe but no one has yet. I post in my blog almost every day and I think I have good content on there. Anymore advice on how to get subscribers to my blog? Any advice will be very much appreciated. :)

I don't think there's any way to get them to sign up really - once you get people to visit it's up to them. With my blog I use the larger feedburner subscription (where you add your name and email address) and that seems to work for me - if you want to give it a try. Other than that though I don't think there's much you can do - just give it some time - things slowly build up - so as your traffic grows so does your chances of having someone subscribe :-)

I'm going to go back to feedburner and check out the subscription button options again because I don't remember seeing this one on there. Yeah you are right about the traffic. I get pretty good traffic now and will just hope someone subscribes soon. Thanks for your response. :)

No worries - from memory it's under the publicise tab - get the code and then paste it into your blog.

I stopped using the feedburner button - it is the only part of their service that i don't really like. You can get really good universal buttons at addme.com (PM me if you have any problems finding them)

You are with feedburner which is the daddy of them all, I recently found this one http://www.widgetbox.com/dash/registrations.jsp which is linked from feedster and not only gives you widgets to display but also gets you subscribers from other users of the site. I got two new subs while I was setting up my widgets!! Good luck
