21 Tips to Become Successful Blogger

Successful blogger means a successful blog. Here are tips to start a successful blog and be a successful blogger.

1. Publish At Least Two Blog Posts in A Week

Visitors like to read blogs that publish content daily with new and unique ideas.

If you are a part-time blogger, try creating 2 blog posts a week. But if you are a full-time blogger try to create at least one blog post per day.

Google gives priority to blogs that publish posts regularly. This enhances both your ranking and blog reader. So if you want loyal readers, post regularly on your blog.

2. Create Lengthy Content

Brian Dean found in research that more than 1890 words article gets rank higher in Google.

Long content performs better in search engines compared to short content. So always try to write detailed, high-quality, lengthy posts.

But keep one thing in mind, do not write nonsense to increase the length of your content. Because visitors will not like to come back to your blog after reading your content.

3. Don’t Stop Learning

Readers are leaders

You do not know everything about your niche. As time goes on, every industry changes and grows. That’s why you should never stop learning.

Also, you can read blogs of different niches so that you can learn. This helps you get the knowledge from another blog.

So be the readers of other blogs so that you can increase your knowledge.

4. Treat Your Blog Like a Business

You can see all pro-bloggers, they consider their blog as businesses. That’s why they are so successful bloggers today.

If you are blogging for hobby or fun, then you will never succeed in blogging. The reason you will not take blogging seriously.

5. Collect Email For Newsletter

You can collect email from the visitor and after publishing a new post, you can send a newsletter. This is the most effective strategy in blogging. It helps convert visitors into a reader.

Therefore, use the opt-in form on your blog to grow the email list and ask visitors to subscribe to your blog.

6. User experience

If the user experience of your blog is poor, the visitors will not stay long on your blog. Make sure users navigate your blog easily.

Also, make your blog mobile responsive. Because mobile search has completely dominated desktop search.

7. Solve Your Reader Problem

Believe me, it is very effective and effective. This is because bloggers who solve the visitor’s problem get success very soon.

Apart from this, if you get a lot of comments for your post, Google considers your post helpful and rank better in search results.

But to start a blog on WordPress.org, you will need a domain name and web hosting.

Wrong hosting can ruin your blog. The biggest reason, your blog will be mostly in downtime and will load very slowly.

13. Make The User Easier To Contact

Your blog should have a contact form so that users can contact you easily. For this, you create a contact us page on your blog.

There are a lot of contact form plugins available in the market. But I recommend you use WPForms or Contact Form 7.

14. Keyword Research

Keyword research is the core of SEO.

If you regularly publish unique and useful articles on your blog but do not keywords research, your blog will not be able to rank in the search result. And you will never be able to achieve success in blogging.

There are many tools and websites that can help you find good keywords. Here is a guide on how to do keyword research.

15. Invest Money

Spend some money for your blog promotion. Almost every newbie and average bloggers don’t like to invest money on their blog. They search for free ways to promote and manage their blog.

To become a successful blogger, treat your blog as a business and invest money for promoting. It helps a lot in increasing your blog awareness.

16. Improve Your Writing Skills

Writing skills are the best weapon to become a successful blogger.

If your writing skills are very good, then you can easily become a successful blogger. However, I am not talking about writing as an expert, I am telling to write like an individual.

Also, focus on grammar and spelling. It improves the quality of your content. Matt Cutts is discussing on Grammar and Spelling in this video.

17. Target the Right Visitors

If you get wrong visitors, you can never succeed in blogging. The reason they will come to your blog and leave without reading the content. As a result, your bounce rate will increase.

Many people believe that the bounce rate is one of the Google ranking factors. It shows Google about your site quality. Here is a guide on how to reduce bounce rate

Therefore, it is very important to attract the right visitors.

18. Promote Your Content on Social Media Sites

Today every user is engaged with social media sites and spend their valuable time on it. So after publishing your post, share it on the popular social media site such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest etc. These platforms can help you get traffic to your blog.

Apart from this, it also increases your brand awareness.

19. Create High-Quality Backlinks

Backlinks can make huge changes to your site’s ranking. It helps to increase domain authority, traffic, and ranking of your site. But your backlinks should be high-quality.

Bad/spammy/buying/low-quality backlinks can greatly harm your website’s ranking.

Hundred quality backlinks equal to thousand low-quality backlinks.

20. Content Quality

CONTENT IS KING

This is the most important step to become a successful blogger. If your content is not attractive and useful and is not able to solve the visitor’s problem, then they will never come back to your blog again.

Google gives quality content more priority and provides a top rank in search results. However, when Google ranks content, it uses different types of ranking factors. But content quality is still very important.

Always publish quality and informative content on your blog.

21. Make Blogging Your Passion

This is the last tip but one of the most important tips. Without passion, you can not become a successful blogger.

Many blogs get into parked after a year or many bloggers do not renew their blogs? The reason for lack of passion and motivation.

If you consider blogging as a passion, you can become a successful blogger.
