Blogger Tip # 10 | Patience!

June 5th, 2009

Patience is virtue. To be a successful blogger you have to be patient. If nobody notices your blog, ask your friends and family to visit it (you can even bribe them if you want :-) ). It is a nice start. Remember that your main purpose (aside from monetizing your blog :-) ) is to share your thoughts.

Do you know what experts says? Blogging relaxes your mind and helps a person to have a good night sleep. Isn’t that a good reason enough to keep on blogging? Personally, I believe the success of a blog can not be measured by its number of visitors nor by the number of decimals in your paypal account alone, but by the gratifying effect it gives to the blogger.

Never give up!

Blogger Tip # 9 | Advertise Your Blog to Social Networks

June 2nd, 2009

I believe, when a person starts blogging, his ultimate wish is to make his blog “famous”. Well, I am guilty …who is not, anyway! :-)

But of course, we have to accept the truth – not all blogs can reach stardom, regardless of all the hard work and the effort to make your blog a nice one. Some are just born lucky! I think some will disagree with me. I am just being brutally realistic. :-)

Okey, if you really want to be popular, follow all the blogging tips, write relevant and well written post, SEO your blog, etc. And, don’t forget to advertise your blog.

Well, the truth is my only intention in giving the tip “advertise your blog to social networks” is to gather a fair share of audience. Anyway, isn’t it the main reason why you are blogging, to have someone who will read your posts. If it can help your blog be popular, better! :-)

Blogger Tip # 8 | Communicate Well

June 1st, 2009

How are you going to do that?

Think of a nice topic, (eg. Blog about your recent trip to Alaminos). Think of things about Alaminos that will interest your readers, like tourist spots, accommodation details, foods and others. Organize your topic, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to write every details of your trip. Just pick out topics that are interesting and it will also help if you will take time to gather relevant information and make your post more informative, like rooms rates if you stayed in a hotel.

Write it well. English is the common language understood by many. Use it if you are comfortable with the language if you want to draw a large number of readers. If not, how about hiring or asking someone to write it for you? But of course you can always use your native language. Personally, I suggest keeping away from writing post with mixed languages, it is just a little bit confusing.
