These days there are millions of blogs out there, you can choose almost any topic in the world and you will see a blog about it on google, and all the popular blogs always seem a bit addictive and make the readers curious just by getting them to read the first two or three lines.
Most beginner bloggers worry about getting their blog more views and traffic, If those big companies can create quality blogs, well so can you.Blogging is a skill, but it is also being called an art now, it’s a blend of both to be honest. There is not a single super formula to make a person good at blogging but there are a lot of tips or tricks which help not just beginners, but blogging experts too.
1. Be yourself
“Being yourself” is the best way for anyone to get positive results in any line of work, doesn’t matter in which area of expertise you are.One of the main rules of quality blogging is to compose original, unique content.
You do not have to copy some specific blogger, you don’t have to write the same way they do, Maybe they are successful with their methods and techniques but it does not mean it will for you the same way.
Be original and authentic, love your blogging and come up with uncommon exclusive ideas. Stand out from the crowd and make your voice sound lovely to the readers. A time comes when the audience starts to love the writer even more than his/her content.
2. Keep yourself Motivated and Patient
Motivation and patience play a key role in successful blogging.Most beginners who jump in the ocean of blogging often start to leave too early.Yes, maybe you are not getting any good traffic or visitors on your blog, it may seem exhausting and frustrating at the start, but with time it does get better.
You have to adhere and devote yourself to blogging to get quality results with time. Turn your mind into an idea capturing machine and ask yourself how this idea will help you in writing articles.
You cannot dream about success without the proper hard work and dedication, Posting some blogs on weekends and thinking about getting a decent crowd on your page the next Monday is idiotic.
Stick your mind with ideas, write regularly and make a professional image of yourself online.
3. Listen to the crowd
So you have been writing articles or blogs for quite some time now. You are noticing a nice audience which reads your web pages and even leave some comments. Observe their reaction, Inspect the type of topics attracting more crowd and why, Recognize the articles getting less response.
Note that you are nothing without your audience or followers, they are the key to your success.
Responding to the feedback your patrons give you is a nice gesture and bonds the two parties.
Accept that there will be people who do not just hate your work but also leave negative remarks
This just doesn’t end here, You can get a lot of ideas from your audience by realizing their likes and dislikes. Communicating with the readers on social media platforms is a great practice. Post on Facebook that you are going to write about a certain topic and see how they react to your post.
4. Set your ambitions and mission
The path to progress becomes much clearer when we set firm goals and set our agenda. Figure out why you are writing about this particular topic, are you going to write about it with a specific tone, what is the main focus of the topic and most importantly, what is the main message you want to deliver to your readers.
