Just like you would engage with your friends in a comfortable relaxing mode is the same way you ought to find the same zone with your readers.
For most, time with friends is enjoyable and fulfilling, there’s no reason why that shouldn’t be the case with your audience whether you own a blog or a website.
Treat your audiences/readers as friends, as a result of this you’ll be able to build a relationship with them.
By understanding them, in time, you are able to know what tone of voice to use and the language they would understand. Interact in a conversational manner, after all, its only a blog and not a government report.
An added benefit of building a rapport with your readers is being able to pre-empt their information needs. The more you relate with them, the more you understand where they are at and what they need to know. This feeds your research and helps you meet them where they are.
So for your next post, make friends with your readers.
