Here are the best 7 tips and tricks for successful blogging;

Tip #1: Choose a Blogging Platform

When getting started with blogging, the first step is to choose a blogging platform. Usually, the first thing that would come to mind is the list of free blogging options out there which includes WordPress, TypePad, Tumblr and Blogger. All these free options provide versatile design templates or themes at no cost. Subsequently, customizing your own blog becomes an easy task. If you think you would require additional help in order to use these free blogging tools, you will find lots of helpful resources such as online video tutorials. WordPress in particular has created a profound tutorial for using its blogging tool. So, anyone can take advantage of such resources to hone up his or her skills in using the blogging system.

Tip #2: Integration is Essential

If you have an existing website, it is very essential to integrate your blog with the website. This is an essential SEO strategy. When you do this, you are attracting the attention of both organic and secondary search engines, as long as your contents are valuable and highly informative. Alternatively, you can simply embed the links to your main website on your blog, including links from authority websites. However, ensure that the links (especially external links) are relevant to the central theme or main keyword of your website.

Tip #3: Specialize on a Niche

When it comes to creative blogging, one of the best ways to be successful is to choose your niche of specialty. Instead of blogging just on any subject, choose a particular subject and create powerful posts in line with your chosen niche. This is another secret to attracting the attention of search engines positively. Also, it is the fastest way to build a loyal and targeted following.

Tip #4: Write about Something You have Passion for

If you truly want to stand out with your blog posts, choose a topic you are passionate about. You will flow naturally and produce irresistible contents when you choose an area of your passion. If there is no passionate tone in your blogs, readers will detect it too soon and would look elsewhere. This is the reason why so many blogs fizzle out too soon. For instance, if you are a programming guru, write informative posts in this line, focusing on helpful tips, ‘how to’, emerging trends and more. Integrating some graphical and video samples would also be very helpful.

Tip #5: Provide Value

If you produce shallow posts just like many bloggers out there, your blog will fizzle out too soon. Readers are only attracted to valuable content. Ensure that a reader will leave your blog/ website feeling fulfilled and satisfied with the quality of information he or she explored – this is what real value is all about. It is this type of content that compels a visitor to come again and again.

Tip #6: Don’t Lose Sight of Marketing

If you are launching a blog/ website with the intention of leaving it to ‘chances’, such blog/ website cannot outlive 24-hours. You need to consciously market your blog in order to attract the right audience. There are varieties of ways you can get the message out there about your blog. One of the effective strategies is to comment on other bloggers’ posts, especially the posts in line with your niche. This will attract tons of pointers to your own blog/ website.

You can also leverage the social networking sites to spread the word about your blogs. However, you need to be very tactful when marketing on social networking sites. Avoid using sales pitch. Remember, such sites are purely socializing platforms and people are more interested in making new friends and socializing. Whichever strategy you choose, just ensure you are spreading the word about your blog.

Tip #7: Give Room for Interaction

Don’t just end your blog posts without any call to action. Ask your readers to leave comments and share the post if they found it interesting/helpful. These are great ways to initiate interactions and to engage people on your blog site. Also, it is an easy way to build a community and establish loyal followers. Also, don’t forget to ask readers for their own inputs. People love it when you ask for their inputs and contributions. Subsequently, they will prefer to stick with you and help share your posts.
