We appreciate your effort to being a successful blogger, here are some tips for you to be successful in less time by your blogging.
1.Old blogging tricks still work amazing
Read many of the great posts on there or on any of the other great
blogging advice sites and they’ll give you great advice like to make
sure you add catchy titles (probably why you are reading this post in
the first place), to write often and to guest post on other blogs. These
are old pieces of advice but in a world where people are obsessed with
social media and the new tools those are the tools that by far and away
work the best. They are the easy wins.
2.Integrate Facebook wherever you can
Facebook is the most important social media tool we use in terms of
bringing traffic to our site. It accounts for just over 18% of the
traffic on our site and the 11,000 odd Facebook likes we have are people
who come back to our site on a repeat basis to consume our content.
Make it easy to share your content through Facebook and if the content
is good enough it will spread like wildfire.
3.Get some professional help at the start
We paid a small amount of money to get our blog designed by a
professional at the start as well as getting somebody to add in the
proper SEO plugins. Since then we haven’t really touched it design wise
and have instead focused on the content. If you are serious about
blogging or creating a business around your blog then you should invest a
small amount of money at the start making it look professional.
4.Be Social In The Real World
A huge amount of people who read our blog are people that we have met
in the real world. Being social online is one thing but forging a
social relationship with somebody in the real world is still far more
powerful than anything. Try and attend conferences within your niche,
meet people with similar interests and if relevant share your blog with
them. If you are lucky enough to be able to speak at any events then
work your blog in to the presentation and pitch yourself as the person
of authority on your given subject.
5.Build A passionate community around your blog
This is by far the hardest point on the whole list and there isn’t
really any written rule on how to achieve it. The one thing I think you
have to do most is be nice to everybody and reply to as many comments as
you physically can. Comments on your blog, comments on Twitter,
comments on Facebook or Youtube or wherever the person has left a
comment. People fly through the web these days pausing for a second at a
time on sites these days so if they are taking time to leave a comment
oon your blog then the very least you can do is stop and answer them.
Building community take a lot of time but you should never underestimate
the power of word of mouth when it comes to your blog or business and a
passionate community is just about the most powerful thing around
today.
Text is great and it’s an important part of blogging but not
everybody is a good writer and even people who can write should try and
support their content with rich media content if possible. I think it
helps you stand out form the crowd. What do I mean by rich media
content? Photos, videos, podcasts, diagrams, slidehows or presentations.
The technology is there now for you to post most of these things for
free and they’ll push your content out even further to new platforms.

7.Use rich media content if at all possible
Text is great and it’s an important part of blogging but not
everybody is a good writer and even people who can write should try and
support their content with rich media content if possible. I think it
