Increase Your Readership
Here are some suggestions that may help increase your blog's readership, which in turn helps improve rankings and earnings:
* Initially, add posts to a single blog, instead of creating multiple blogs. Readers will be more likely to remember your blog's name.
* Post frequently, at least once a day if possible. Recently updated blogs will appear on the home page under New Posts, and are also more likely to appear in Featured Blogs.
* Split long posts into several shorter ones. Many online readers prefer to read shorter posts.
* Read and comment on other writers' posts. Interested readers will click your nickname to read your blogs, and the blog's author may recommend your blog.
* When a post receives comments, it is likely that the topic appeals to readers. Consider writing on similar topics.
* To appeal to different groups of readers, write multiple blogs on different topics.

Maryjane,
First off, welcome to the BN (or, Blogit, now) To answer your question, here's a few thoughts. You have only been a member for 2 days!! You need to be patient and make a "name" for yourself, so to speak. Other members will start reading you and get a feel for your writing style. Then, if they like it, they will come back and read you more and more. Not everyone will like your style, but don't get discouraged. That's true for every writer in the world. Secondly, your two posts are in the MA section. This section is read often, but maybe start out by writing in another section or two first; that will help you introduce you and your writing style to others. Also, though every writer always appreciates getting comments on their blogs, not everyone will comment even if they have read you. So, you may have been read, but just have not received a comment yet. Hang in there! Hope this has helped a bit. Oh, and HEY! You just got your first comment!!!
