A
businessman/businesswoman can expect high profits from his/her business
only when he/she invests high. Not only high investment is essential,
good strategies and policies are also necessary. Secondly, it takes time
before the business starts growing. Thirdly, it also matters that how
the person deals with customers. The same is with your blog. Don’t
agree? Well I strongly agree this. Your blog is your business. The high
you invest in it, the high its profit is. The brilliant your strategies
and policies are, the quicker its growth is. So my question is, how much
do you invest in your blog? What your strategies and policies are?
The
actual investment, which your blog needs from you, is not the money
which you spend for hosting and its maintenance. It is the content which
you are putting on your blog. Do you write regularly? Are you
consistent in writing? Do you enjoy what you write? Do your visitors
appreciate your efforts? These questions are crucial for a successful
and passionate blogger. If your answer is
YES for all questions, then it is great, otherwise you aren’t a true blogger and
your blog needs more care from you for its growth. Now I will explain above questions why their answer must be
YES from a successful blogger.
Do You Write Regularly?
To
maintain a consistent traffic flow to your blog, it is the most crucial
thing that you write regularly or not. If you write regularly, then
your audience will visit again and again for reading your blog. You are
well aware about the fact that search engines are the biggest source of
free massive traffic. Every blogger desires for this traffic and dreams
to see his/her blog among top results in
SERPs.
Now search engines rank those blogs higher which are kept updated
regularly. To maintain and improve your position in SERPs, you must
write regularly. That is why I expect answer to this question as
YES from you.
Are You Consistent in Writing?
Consistency
is another important factor which influences your blog’s performance.
Some bloggers break consistency in their writing and leave their blog
untouched for several days and even weeks. Then they start writing for
some time and again break the regularity. It is a very bad habit which
kills your blog at all. Yes I agree that sometimes it gets difficult to
write your blog, but there is a solution for this. Both
Blogger and WordPress
allow you to schedule your posts. So write a lot when you have enough
time and schedule your posts. By doing this, you can maintain
consistency on your blog even in situations when you are away for
several days and weeks.
Do You Enjoy Your Writing?
Blogging
is both a business and fun and you can do it better only when you enjoy
what you are doing and you can enjoy it only when the niche of your
blog is of your interest. One of the biggest reasons behind failure of
bloggers is that they don’t blog about what they are interested in. They
choose a random topic and start blogging but they can’t do it in a good
way and the result is that they fail. Alternatively, if a blogger blogs
under a niche about which he/she knows a lot or interested in, then
he/she surely performs well and achieves success. So I want to say that
blog about the topics which you enjoy to read and write about.
Do Your Visitors Enjoy Your Writing?
Building
a large audience is both easy and tough. If your blog is interesting
and delivers value to visitors then they enjoy your writing and traffic
on your blog keeps increasing. Your blog grows day by day and you become
a successful blogger. It also matters that how you are interacting with
your visitors. The more you are social, the more your success ratio is.
Alternatively,
if you don't value your visitors and your writing style is also boring
and dull then no one bothers to visit your blog. So try to know more and
more about your audience. Comment section on your blog is the place
where you can communicate your audience. Respond your visitor comments
and encourage them to share their thoughts. By doing this, you will be
able to know more about your visitors and then you can define your
policies and strategies to improve your blogging.
These were four important questions which demand the
YES
from you if you are dreaming to become a successful blogger. These
questions also reveal that your blog is a business which needs
investment in form of your dedication. Good blogging strategies along
with dedication bring guaranteed success to you sooner or later. So blog
well and wait for success. Good luck!
