    You have to create high quality content first. Make sure that it will help your readers and sort out their problem. Share your posts with Social networking sites. Made constructive blog comments on relevant blogs. Do some Guest posting on high authority blogs. Care about your readers need. These are some of the fundamentals to get success with your blog. Hope this will help you :)

    iwebsocial has some good advice for attracting organic traffic.

    Since you didn't specify organic or paid then I'll add some info for the paid traffic side of this.

    There are a number of ways to attract paid traffic. A few of those are press release, solo ads, newspaper ads, magazine ads, and advertising space on other marketer's websites.

    Another thing you can start doing to get traffic to your site is to start focusing on building your email list. Even if you are a new blogger. This should still be your main priority. I call my email list "free traffic" because in essence that is what it is.

    The best thing would be to create a niche blog. Some people fall into the trap of creating a blog that covers too many topics. This will only make visitors confused. They will wonder what the blog is all about. If you're good at creating apps, then focus on apps on your blog. Also the content is very important. I have seen some very bad examples where people either copy an article and post it on their blog or put an article in a text generator that flips the words around. Firstly, duplicated content will be removed on search engines. The website that wrote the article will show up on the search results, not the blog that copied the article. Secondly, the article that was created by the text generator will not be desirable to read.

    So the conclusion is to make the content interesting and good. Do a research on the subject you will cover in the blog article, and share something that will educate people and give them the "aha" feeling. You could describe something in a new angle. But you could have the best content but still get few or no visitors at all. Therefore it's important that you market your blog. Use social media platforms. Socialize with people and when appropriate share a link to your blog.

    If you are sure that you can produce and offer great content to your readers, the essential step in getting traffic to your blog is to build an outstanding On-the-page SEO architecture, focusing on the following factors:

    1. Proper use of keywords – density of long tail keywords throughout the content and keyword clusters
    2. Uniqueness – the more your content is original and unique, the bigger the chance is that it will be recognized as high quality.
    3. Engaging with the blog community and encouraging social media conversation could provide good backlinks, benefit your ranking and the traffic on your blog
    4. Length of content
    5. More multimedia content – blog can be more attractive to readers if it has images and/or videos
    6. The less advertisements on the page, the better

    A powerful call-to-action to get visitors to join your mailing list. If you can convert traffic into leads with very little traffic, as your traffic grows, so does your list.

    Concentrate on creating content that solves the visitor's query. Promote your content across every social media, submit to blog directories. You can't rely solely on Google due to the changing algorithms.

    I think being honest will be a great think for people to do in order to build blog followers. First, the content has to be interesting for people to read. Then people interested in the subject matter will want to come back if the content is unique and provides some powerful messages. They will want to learn what is next in regards to the subject matter because you have already shown people who read your existing content the intelligence you hold. Also leaving insightful comments on other blogs and articles will have people flock back to your site to find out more about you. If they like you they will follow you as well.

    Can you expand more on what you meant by free traffic. We only have our subscribers on our e-mail. But not sure how to expand to get a bigger e-mail list.

    When you leave posts on others sights, can you use your signature to your site?

    That normally depends on the owner of the particular site you want to post on.
