6 Tips For Blogging Success

If you want to make money through blogging, creating a popular blog
is the key to success. If your blog receives very little traffic,
you will not have much success monetizing it. No matter which
method you use to make money from your blog, you will find the most
success if you have a large readership. Because of this, making
your blog popular and growing readership should be one of your
primary concerns.

There are many ways to make your blog more popular. The first thing
you should consider is who your audience is and who you are writing
for. You should always write about something that interests you,
and that will interest others. You may think that your new kitten
is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but there are probably
not very many other people who want to read a blog about it. It is
best to find a niche audience that is large enough to support a
wide readership but not to vague. 

One of the great things about blogging is that you do not have to
be a professional writer to have a popular blog. You do have to
obey common grammatical rules and at least be able to put together
coherent sentences, but you do not have to be a highly skilled
writer.

1. Blog readers are looking for interesting, relevant topics to
read, not the next work of Shakespeare. Make sure what you write
is interesting, edgy, or even controversial. Popular blogs are
never boring and add value to readers lives either through
information or entertainment. Make sure your blog adds something of
value to your readers life otherwise you will not develop a large
fan base.

2. Making your blog popular is a lot like driving traffic to a
website. You can use many of the same techniques to drive traffic
to your blog. Finding places to link back to your blog is a good
way to drive traffic. Social sites such as Myspace, Facebook, and
You tube provide lots of opportunities for this. You can also use
social book marking sites such as Reddit, StumbleUpon, and Digg to
promote your blog. Blogging on a popular blog site such as
Wordpress and Blogger are also good ways to make your blog more
popular as these blogging sites help to bring in traffic for your
blog.

3. Whether you blog on a blogging network or you have an
independently hosted blog, you need to make sure your blog is
designed well. It is true that content is king and if a blog has
great content is may receive lots of traffic even though it is
ugly, having a well designed blog that is not ugly or annoying will
help to drive repeat traffic. You want your blog to look unique,
but not too unique. Keep with internet formalities such as blue
links and use large font for headings. 

4. You should break your post up into small paragraphs each with a
headline if possible as internet readers tend to scan the screen
looking for relevant information rather than reading everything
word for word. Make sure your colors do not contrast too harshly
and that the text is easy to read. Using good design will make your
blog aesthetically pleasing and make readers more likely to come
back and remain on your page.

5. No matter where your blog is hosted, you should try to get it
indexed by all the major search engines. Some forms of blog
monetization require that your blog be indexed by search engines
before they will allow you to participate in your program. The
higher ranked your blog is, the more visitors you will receive and
the more popular your blog will become.

6. All forms of monetization for your blog require readers to work
successfully. Before you try to implement your monetization
strategies, make sure your blog has enough readers to make your
efforts work. If there is no one to click your ads, visit your
affiliate sites, or read your reviews, you do not stand much of a
chance of making money. Want to start building your blog empire?
