Get Readers Involved
As you get more readers, you'll also get more comments and questions, of which you should definitely respond. In fact, ask your readers for their feedback. This engages them and involves them in the blog, though few may truly understand it.
It allows them to "buy in" to what you're doing. Sports teams are very successful using this tactic. When was the last time you heard a team announcer say: "And now, the starting lineup for for YOUR ...." People then call the team "us" instead of "them".
Later, you may see a reader that is very knowledgeable (judging by the comments they leave and questions they ask). This reader is a good candidate to contribute a guest post on your blog. This reader, who may or may not have his own blog, has the opportunity to become known by more people just by doing this and providing good content to your blog.
Update Old Posts
As time goes on, you'll accumulate more articles on your blog. Don't ignore old posts. Update them with fresh, relevant and newer information. The early readers may have read them, but newer readers haven't. These articles then greatly expand the experience for new readers, and they'll be encouraged to return.
