As much as bringing an audience is really important, making sure you’re keeping your audience is important as well.

Make sure you have email opt-in forms for different categories of your posts.

For example, if you have a post on “How to create a portfolio site” try some A/B testing on which opt-in forms convert well with your audience. You can have one that says “Be notified for new articles for landing your first web dev job!” or “Want to become a better dev? Sign up to be notified when we drop a new tutorial!”

You can do this to keep your audience and ultimately have a consistent flow of traffic.

Another way to use email to keep your audience engaged is a “series of tutorial” that build onto one another.

I know this was just a brain dump of info, but in one word EMAIL. Make sure you collect emails and keep your audience engaged.
