7 top tips to be a successful blogger

By Detector | 09 June 2008



Blogging these days is the biggest business and entertainment online. Bloggers share something unique with other related bloggers and webmasters. From statistic: over 70% of blogs are waste of server space , but 30% trying to make something work online, give tips, ideas, business opportunities and everything which human mind can explore in this world… But, what is the trick for successful blogging? This is the most asked question on every blog, every blogger forum, that is the biggest secret and the biggest truth for every blogger. The answer is simple. I personally made research thru the web and find that 7 simple things will bring you to the top. Here are a collection of that tips:

1. Email a new reader of your blog
When you have a blog, you may get readers to your blog (ultimate purpose of your blog), so, when you do get readers, email them and welcome them to your blog Ask them to spread the word of your blog content to their friends who may also be interested, so it’s a good strategy to employ. That is the same as guest came in your living room and you start conversation with him.

2. Join forums related to your niche.
Getting to know your niche market better by visiting a few forums online in the target market that you will hopefully dominate or be a key player in is something that is well worth doing. Link your blog and profile page in your signature line. Participate in forums and getting to know the top members and key players is what you should be trying to achieve for maximum networking potential.

3. Interlinking archived posts from your own blog and others.
Every post on your blog is a webpage of it’s very own, so if you have a lot of posts, you could consider linking to past posts that are related to your main topic. With that you provide further information and this helps to build your seo ranking for your blog.

4. Planning your blog posts well in advance.
Look at the forums, find which area of your niche is most discussed, plan your post in advance. Planning of your blog posting is a really easy way of simply coming up with a blog title and then just running with it online to see what you can write about, if you are knowledgeable about the subject matter then you will make this task even easier.

5. Blog commenting on other blogs not just your own.
Every blogger knows this: comment on other peoples blogs, maybe you have never visited their blog before and you could maybe introduce yourself in the comment or just interact with the discussion. Bloggers loves then someone visits their blog and comments their posts. It is the same philosophy as in first tip of this post: go to other living room, say hi, and start or join into discussion.

6. Add blogs that you find to your feed reader.
You can keep up to date with these blogs when you can and interact with them on a regular basis.

7. Write useful content and keep blogging.
No comment :-)

Conclusion: Blogging is a long term process usually and it can take time to build up your blogs traffic, so, be optimist, write your post regularly and as much as you can follow previous tips.
