Great First Impressions on New Readers helps Convert them Into Loyal Readers

by fas on April 9, 2009 · 6 comments

I was visiting ProBlogger (Darren Rowse Blog) few days ago and I stumbled upon this nice video. If you are new to blogging you should watch this video. Well this is a video every Blogger should watch.

This video has been around for over a year now (Darren made it just after ProBlogger was last redesigned) but he thinks the video particularly relevant for this time of year when many bloggers are looking at refreshing the look and feel of their blog.

First impressions matter both in real life face to face interactions with new people that you meet AND the first interactions you have with new readers. In this video Darren examine 5 ways we can improve the impression that we leave on first time readers and give three questions to ask when thinking about how to leave good impressions on readers. Watch the video and think about it.

Its over to you all.

How much important it is?

What do you do to make a nice impression? (both online and offline)

Thats a nice interview. Another important aspect for first impression is fast loading of the site.

I tend to dislike sites with popups, lots of ads and confusing configuration. Nice post summing up a lot of stuff!

I am not much of fan of Pop ups but they get your customer. They tends to increase sells.
