8 Effective Tips to become a successful blogger

A Catchy Blog Title:

I have recently talked about the important of having eye-catchy headline or title. From your title, your visitors can quickly detect without reading further what to expect, so ensure that your title is short and have some commercial message to attract your visitor to read the full article. Apart from making your title short, you must make it attractive and eye-catchy as this will play a very important role on the amount of traffic it will get. Assuming you are ranking for this keyword ‘how to earn money from home’ and you are the first, if your title is not catchy enough, your potential visitors will skip through to open other websites below yours! So keep this in mind when writing your new post.

Updating your Blog Regularly:

By updating your blog regularly, your visitors will know for sure that you are there to answer their queries and not only that, you will attract search engine bots to crawl your site always. But it is much better to update your blog with quality content once in a while, rather than updating it with trash twice daily. You may get noticed, but you will not have loyal readers who are going to come back for more.

Maintain consistency:

If you have quality content, you will always have people would like to learn more about you which is a good start for any Beginner to become a pro-blogger. Watch what you post on your blog and do not become ‘a jack of all trade’ blogger, if you have a blog on ‘wine’ then for crying out loud, focus on that until you become an authority there, don’t jump from writing about wine and mule over to write about finance and tech and health etc.

Activate Comments on your blog

When you activate comment on your blog, your visitors will likely drop comment when they need more information or just to show their thanks for your article, and comments on your blog means it is lively and you really are making impart in your area of blogging. If you deactivate comment, users will find it out to ask questions that may be bulging them, hence, if your blog post is not clear enough, they will mostly close the tap and return back to google search for others. We know comment is good for a blog, it is also advisable that you moderate your comments before approving them, a lot of spam-bots are going to flood your blog with spam comments that don’t contribute to the topic discussed. You can use wordpress plugin to fight comment spam.

The power of Social Media

If you are not already using social media to promote your blog, then you need to start from today as social media can be used to get massive targeted traffic! Social Media can make your blog to be popular. Creating social media accounts are free, if you are busy to maintain your social media profiles, you can hire a virtual assistance (VA) for that purpose.

Don’t overuse Keywords

Yeah, we know you want to rank for that killer keyword, but new bloggers take this too far by trying to rank for multiple keywords in a single post! This is a wrong practice and if you are using this ‘trick’ before now, then it is time to have a re-think. I know of bloggers who write 800+ words article for their post and they are only targeting a single keywords! Optimize your blog post and if you will not only rank for the keyword you are targeting but also rank for multiple long tail keywords.

Blogging with joy

I don’t know if ‘blogging with joy’ makes sense to you. But let me explain this to you a bit. If you do not love blogging, you will give up after a few failures, it has been known that over 95% ( if not more ) of people who are trying to make money online give up. The reason is that they like it, but are only interested in the money one can make from blogging. It took me 2+ years before I start earning significant money from my internet business, if don’t love what I was doing, I would have given up before hitting the big $$$ which you can see in my monthly income reports.

Add image to your content

Make your blog looks pretty neat and clean to visitors, it is advisable that you add images to make your blog post virtually bright, this will make your visitors to feel pleasant while reading or visiting your blog.
