The worst thing you can do to yourself as a blogger is becoming impatient or desperate. I know that sounds kind of brutal but, I just want to make it less attractive to you as much as possible, because I’ll be glad if that will get you off that track.

If there’s anything I have learned all through my adventure into the world of blogging, it is that it takes time. Success comes; one thing at a time. Just like the analogy Darren Rowse used in one of his post 9 First Step Goals for New Bloggers, about his little boy’s adventure with his first steps towards a full freedom in walking. Rome they say was not built in a day. Read the rest of this entry

The introduction of an earlier part of this series just about introduce and corroborate the need for the topic of this part; Research!

I have said it here time without number, even show you some stats in some earlier part of this post series, that the Blogopshere is evolving at the speed of light and to fit in, you to also have keep pace with the speed. How? Research!

The Need for RESEARCH!

Apart from the above, you can’t do without research in writing your blog post, no matter how much you know on your topic, it wouldn’t be complete without adding related contents from other sources which you only get by Researching. Readers love such, it gives then the opportunity to get a bigger picture on the topic just from reading your blog and also maybe reading every other that you made reference to. At least that way it saves them the pain of having to be the one to go out searching for more information on those ideas you have also raise within your articles that you probably couldn’t expand on, maybe because they are beyond the scope of what you’re talking about.

Online is very different from the offline, where you can just throw up your shop on a highway and customers will easily find you. Online, you have to get out and help customers find you. Else, your competitors will not allow them to.

Over the pass few weeks I have been sharing with you proven tips and trick that can make you a successful blogger, and today I’m sharing another very crucial factor that can either make or mar your success as blogger. And it has to do with TRAFFIC; the life-wire of every blog/website.

Like I said in the introduction, online is a lot different from offline and so you have to get out there and help readers find your blog, market and promote your blog every single opportunity you get. Don’t be passive, don’t be shy about promoting your blog, be seriously active about it. You want traffic isn’t it? Then get out there and give it all your best.

If you can agree with me that promotion/marketing (either free or paid) greatly determines the level of success a blog can experience, then you might need to begin to subscribe to the fact that SEO is the life wire of your blog promotion/marketing.

Today, I’ll like to discuss a subject that mostly sounds complicated but has become a must for every blogger to get familiar with, because it covers every aspect of the things you do to your blog directly (on-page) and indirectly (off-page), with the simple goal of gaining targeted visitors to the blog.

As a matter of fact it can right be assume that SEO is the life wire of your blog’s success. As it’s a known fact that without targeted traffic any blog is doomed, so also you should know, that without proper SEO your blog may never experience it goals; be it monetary or otherwise. I know many people might want dispute this, but that will not change the fact, it’ll only shows their wrong perception of the simple fundamental goal of SEO; which is to gain targeted traffic to a site/blog. You might also have heard it been referred to as Search Engine Marketing or simply Search Marketing.

We all are generally more interested in ourselves and naturally tend to get more intimate with people that care much more about us. You can exploit this natural tendency and use it to your advantage as a blogger, to achieve wide success.

If I must tell you, every blog reader/visitor is pretty selfish to some extent; they are firstly and most importantly visiting or frequenting your blog because of what they’ll get out of the blog. If they aren’t getting anything back from investing their precious time into visiting and interacting with your blog, then they’ll not stay around the blog a long time.

Also, readers feel more confident and encourage interacting with a blogger they are so sure, cares about them and is always willing to help; in one way or the other. It’s human nature. Even, if your contents are not outstanding, many will rather stick around to offer advice and suggestions on how you can serve them better, because they know how passionate you are about them.

Today, I’ll be getting down with the successful aspect blogging that has to do with MONEY! Because, it has become the main driver for the largest percentage of the Blogosphere; which Technorati reported to currently comprises 133 million blogs.
