Recently, I shared with you my 17 years of blogging experience and now I am going to share some tips for new bloggers to create a good blog. With time, blogging has developed as an art and we can learn many things from the experience of other bloggers. I am going to add some useful tips for you that worked very well for me. Some tips are permanent while others may change with time. If anyone wants to create an influential blog then he needs to flow these tips. Many things like hard work and consistency are true for blogging as it is true for success in other works. Without hard work and regular blog posts, no one can create a successful blog. There are many people who come to blogging to only make money and they want it fast with a few efforts only. You can read my earlier post Money or no money in blogging to get more info on this matter. I hope that the tips I am adding below will make your blogging experience more rewarding. Skills you need to become a successful blogger
1) Creating Regular Blog Posts- A blog with regular blog posts is loved by both readers and search engines and we need the support of both. Both of them check your blog for regular content. The more good and regular content you post on your blog more loyal readers you generate. At least you should try to do two posts daily for a good impact and this method has worked for me many times. Search engines and your reader love to come back to your blog if they regularly find good posts on it. You can only create large and interesting blog posts when you enjoy writing a blog. Read post Blogging is great fun. It is better to concentrate on your work and keep on improving it with time. So many things were not easy for me 15 years back that I found very easy today. It is a common attribute of any human to lose interest in something after sometimes but when we want to be successful then we need to love it and do consistent work.
2) Look for new options - When I started blogging then blogs in the English language were more popular and they have more monetization options than blogs in another language. Slowly the internet has opened its arms to native languages too; today it is very much possible for any person to communicate on the internet through his native language. One such encouraging trend that we can find online is Hindi blogging. Today, more and more numbers of people are moving towards Hindi blogging because they are finding it very interesting. Similarly, we can find start blogging by taking the benefits of new trends and our strong points. With the changing time, we are finding many new trends and options that were not available to the earlier bloggers.
3) Patience is the Key - Patience is a key point if anyone wants to become successful in blogging. If you want to become successful in blogging then you should keep in mind that you can not become successful if you hurry or look for results in one or two months. Blogging is a profession that rewards more bloggers that have patience and continue with their good work despite the low response from readers. Six months time is the minimum time for a blog to make some appeal and this time may go up for some. If you are an impatient person blogging is not for you.
4) Stay more focused on Work than on Money - In the last 15 years, I came across many bloggers who have only one aim of making money from their blogs. Some such people even restore to stealing the content of others. Such things only give results for some time and soon people leave or forget about these blogs. I am not against earning money and I am not saying that there is no money left in blogging but I am saying that you should focus on quality content first if you want to make money. Your focus should be to make your blog more and more popular.
5) Remain open to New Ideas and Experiments - We should remain open to new ideas and experiments to find what works for you and what doesn't work. The good point of blogging is that it is like a wide ocean and you have so many options for the content of your blog. Now it depends on you to choose it well and create the best content for your readers.
6) Develop a Habit of Reading - Blogging is not all about writing it is also about reading because you learn so much by reading blogs of others or good books. To write well, we need to get an idea of how good writers write and why a blog is popular. The more you read, the more you will have ideas about writing good content.
7) Power to handle criticism - It is also very important to have the power to handle the criticism for your work because you will find many people who will disagree with your thoughts. Some of them may cross limits to criticize you or stop you from blogging but you should not become afraid and have the courage to say what you want to say.
