Lisa!
What an interesting blog you have! Seems like you have an amazing story to tell. What kinds of products are you trying to sell? To build up an initial database of people, I would consider running a user generated contest of some sort, to get the more engaged, active visitors participating. With the element of voting added in, you might find more engagement than you expected….something like an essay contest about “when you lost your faith” or something else super relevant to your “brand.” Eventually, when you have products to sell, it will have helped that you rallied the initial fan base with promotions that they could get really interactive with…does that help?

What would you suggest to a blogger who doesn’t sell products? Is there a way to turn an educational/entertaining blog into a blog that sells products?

Hey Jenny!
Thanks for your comment. You can absolutely experience a great amount of success even with 10 fans– its all a matter of creating an engaging promotion. Giving away a sweet prize is the best way to get the first 10 hooked initially, and incorporating social elements to try to get folks to spread the word helps it along. Before you know it, those 10 people have told all their friends, who told their friends, and so on. This situation is even better with 1,000! Here’s the thing though– you really need to make a proactive effort to engage your users. We wrote up some great tips for that in this post, you should check it out. I think you will like it, and if you try the tips out, let us know how it goes!

with a very small business and a fan group of only around 1000, is it likely to be successful for me to campaign in this way, or do I need to build the fan base significantly to experience success? Your examples leave me out of the picture… :o)
