How to Become a Successful Blogger
Owning a blog is not just a fad that has arisen as a result of
the growth of the internet Blogs are becoming increasingly
important as online communication tools for both
individuals and corporate organizations.
A successful blog could mean a regular source of passive
income for the owner and this is one thing that attracts
people to it. However, there are certain important elements
that should be considered before deciding to start a blog:
There are different reasons why people blog: Some blog
just to share information while others blog to make money
through affiliate marketing, advertising and so on. However
whatever your objective or purpose for blogging, it wouldn’t
have any impact if nobody is reading.
Part of your planning for your blog must include how you
intend to drive traffic. This can be achieved through the use
of social media, Pay per Click (PPC) advertising, guest
blogging and so on.
Another factor worth considering when thinking about
getting traffic is making use of SEO friendly keywords to
increase your search engine rating.
You must provide your readers with good and useful
content. Content is King and is a major determinant of
whether your blog will be successful or not. Before you
begin blogging, try and ensure that you have your content
generation sorted out so you don’t get stuck along the way.
You should also strive to be original. Although it’s okay to
blog about a trending story or pick your content from
another source, but it is important that you add your own
voice or view to the story. Don’t just do a copy and paste
job and leave it at that.
Like every other thing in life, you must be passionate about
what you blog about for you to become successful.
Passion for what you do is what keeps you going even in
the face of difficulties and like they say, Passion
Persuades.
For you to be able to generate and sustain the interest of
readers to your blog, you must be consistent in updating
your blog content regularly. This is even more important if
your goal is to make money from blogging.
Except you are a public figure with a large following who
can blog on whatever he fancies, you blog must focus on a
particular niche.
Ask yourself, what problem do I want to solve for people?
Or what need do I want to meet? This will help you to stay
focused and increase your relevance. Work towards
becoming an authority in your chosen niche.
Blogging is not academic writing. Understand your
audience and write in an interesting and engaging manner.
Your purpose is to sustain their interest and keep them
coming back. You should therefore try to be as informal
and straightforward as possible. One trick to this is to write
like you were facing them and talking to them. Use words
and phrases that would grab their attention.
The ever increasing social media space is one huge traffic
source. It would be a nice idea to have a fan page on
Facebook for your blog and also a Twitter account. Work on
increasing your fan base on social media platforms and
post regularly.
Don’t ignore comments from your readers on your blog or
other platforms. Address their questions and comments as
promptly as you can. Interacting and sharing with your
guests will build loyalty and trust.
