Question received:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I'm a [[cut out]] student and I'm currently writing my bachelor's thesis on image in blogs. Since I am a reader of your blog, it would be great if you could answer a few questions!<\/p>\n

The answers to this interview will only be used for research and will not be made public. I know you are a busy person and can't spare a lot of time, so I would be very grateful if you could at least answer the question in a sentence or two.<\/p>\n

Below are the interview questions.<\/p>\n

Daniel's answer:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. What do you think determines the popularity of a blog?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I really don't know. I'm not sure. Because there are all kinds of blogs and they are read for all kinds of reasons. Some are popular because their authors are well-known, they are always involved in scandals - like Maldekien\u0117. Others, because they write a lot for portals and magazines - U\u017ekalnis. Treti simply provides different content that is not written elsewhere - Roki\u0161kis. The fourth one is different. Take a look at the lists of pop blogs, you will see that there is a wide variety of them!<\/p>\n

But maybe: Message, Quality, Advertising. All three together lead to popularity.<\/p>\n

2. What features of the image stimulate the reader's attention?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Openness, unchanging level of quality, and otherwise - there are no terrible things. In some places, braggarts go well, and in others, they are simply storytellers of experiences.<\/p>\n

3. Does close contact with readers improve the image of the blog?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Of course!<\/p>\n

4. Do you think businesses that partner with bloggers succeed in gaining loyal customers?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some strange questions. Well, yes, it works. But a better question would be how much? What's the CTR? What's the ROI? What is the percentage of returning visitors? It already depends on a) Advertising (the wider you advertise - the more people can get hooked) and b) Quality (which would make them stay).<\/p>\n

5. Can the blogger's attractive image interest the reader, even if the blog author writes on a topic that is not relevant to him?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Aha! There are such readers of mine. Perhaps there are some human qualities at work here - simply being human is attractive. See Facebook persona.<\/p>\n

6. What elements, in your opinion, create the image of a good blog?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Uniform style (even "bad"), convenient design (browse on the blog), convenient way to follow - subscription by e-mail or in another way (at least on fb page, but that's no good, everyone has them and most fans don't see them after that anyway). Not bad at all - readers' activity in the comments, their statements and the author's answers. The page load speed is also important so that it does not take longer than 6 seconds and does not weigh more than 1MB. High-quality illustrations and gifts - books, tools, other tools.<\/p>\n

7. As a blogger, do you notice that companies increasingly choose cooperation with blogs, thus replacing traditional advertising. Why do you think?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Because it pays off? Also, content on blogs is long-lasting. If no one remembers a Facebook post after 1 month, blog posts are remembered for more than a few years. Creating long-term content on blogs, collaborating with their authors, simply pays off. If your business is long-term.<\/p>\n

8. Can the desire to identify with the blogger's image determine the reader's buying habits?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well yes. But, again, poor question. Everything is possible. The question is how effective it is.<\/p>\n
