Sara wrote a few days ago the three great reasons to read other niche blogs. The post was a good one and covered these three points:
To Increase Your Knowledge
Improve Your Writing
New Tactics And Methods
I started to think on why I read other niche blogs and came up with the following reasons:
1. Become A Freelance Writer
Having knowledge in other niche will help you a lot. You can do freelance writing on that topic if you have good knowledge about it. I read technology blogs everyday and this has helped me in gaining good idea about the niche. Though I don’t do freelance writing on that topic, I do guest posts in blogs with high traffic which has in turn got new readers for my blog and also familiarity. There are many bloggers who are interested in two or more niche. So why not get new readers by writing guest posts for other niche blogs?
2. Write A Guide On That Niche Topic
Indeed you can write posts of other niche on your blog if it very in depth. If you write short posts about other niche in your blog, then your subscribers might unsubscribe. But if you write an in-depth article or a guide on other niche topic, you will not lose your existing readers. If your blog is about blogging, you can write a guide to SEO and your blog readers might also be pleased to read it. There may be many bloggers who have interest in both SEO and blogging and those people will also subscribe to your blog by arriving to your article through social sites or other blogs.
3. Get New Contacts
By not just reading but by commenting in other niche blogs, you can get new contacts who might turn to be a great help for you in the future. You might get him/her to write a guest post in your blog and you can post in his/her blog. If you help them, then they might help you in return. I have had friends who have helped me in return for a backlink in my blog for certain time period. And when it comes to other niche blogs, your tough works might get simple. Say you are an SEO blogger and you have a got a web design blog friend by reading his/her blog, then you can get a custom design for your blog in exchange for a SEO analysis of his/her blog.
Start reading other niche blogs now and get more things done for you easily. Do you read other niche blogs? Do you have any good friends who have helped you at the time of need? Please share it in the comments.
