If you already have a healthy email list—or if you expect to blow past 2,000 subscribers quickly, my number one recommendation for an email list building (and much more) tool is ConvertKit.

While ConvertKit isn’t free, I’ve been able to get far more out of it than what I’ve paid over the years.

16. Not Taking the Time to Respond to Your Readers
Some bloggers will say they don’t have the time or energy to respond to their readers.

But here’s the thing… I get that as a blogger, you can’t do everything and you have to make hard choices about how to spend your precious time. However, taking the time to respond to emails, messages and tweets from my readers has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. In fact, not making the time for this is a blogging mistake you make at your own peril.

Why is replying to readers so important? Here are a few reasons why responding to comments and emails helps your blog:

It builds relationships. When you take the time to respond to people, it makes them feel valued. Aside from thoughtful blogger outreach, this is one of the best ways to build up a relationship between you and your audience. They’re giving up their valuable time to visit your blog and it’s a good way to let them know that you appreciate it.
It encourages people to comment more often. If people know they can ask you questions and they’ll actually be answered, they’re far more likely to take the time to comment, engage with your material and share it with others they know.
It gives you time to think about what people want (and need) from your blog. Going through the comments individually helps you learn a lot about your audience. From their comments and the conversations they lead to, you’ll start sorting out the most pressing issues your readers face.
What are the kinds of things people ask about over and over again? Answer those queries with a comprehensive blog post.

If you don’t already have content to help their needs, then you know what you need to add to your content schedule.
