New Blogger? Get New Blog Popular In 90 Days!
Congrats on Setting up your new blog. Now you need to work on getting it popular but how does a new blogger accomplish this?
You need much exposure to be able to pay for your bills, when I say bills I mean
- Your Domain
- Hosting Fees
- Keyword Research Tools
- Themes and Plugins
- Etc.
Whether you like it or not, as a new blogger you can't run your blog to success without spending a dime on it unless you don't want to be successful blogging.
As time goes on you need money to pay for these things especially the domain and hosting aspect and as well make some money from your blog.
But For a New Blogger
It just doesn't come naturally; you need to attain some level of exposure. Your blog needs to be popular (even if it's a little bit) before you can start making some bucks (to cover these things).
You would definitely agree with me that a blog needs to take care of itself at some level, if you are a part time blogger, you really don't expect to spend much on your blog all the time from other sources probably your offline job right?
Right here on the post, am going to show you various ways and tips you can start replicating in order to get your blog popular.
My New Blogger Story
But before then, let me share a little story with you on how I started my blog. I started blogging 2014 and it took me a whooping full year (12 Months) to start growing my blog and making it popular. This was because I never got to know what tips actually worked as to making a blog popular.
So it took me 12 months to learn. I don't want you to make the same mistakes. You really can't grow and make your blog popular within few months probably as early as 3 months if you follow the strategies that work.
But I want to make something clear to you right now:
Take action immediately; start practicing the tips here right away. It's really not what you read that provides results, but your ability to take action and make it work.
So let's dive in to what makes your blog popular really Fast.
1. Lay the Foundation: Publish Great Contents
This is the first and foremost. Before you can use other tips that would be highlighted on this post, you need to publish great contents.
Now, most new bloggers tend to get discouraged whenever they hear the term "Publish great contents". This is because they have the ego that they need to write that lengthy post of about 5,000 words long or so.
It's not true, what is true?What is the real definition of great contents, in just three Lines?
- Contents that readers can understand
- Contents that solve readers' problems
- That's all
The length of your blog posts does not really matter when it comes to creating quality contents. If it's well explained and able to solve readers' problem then it's a quality one.
However, do not make it a habit of publishing less than 1,000 words long article. It just might not meet the criteria of quality contents.
Google loves long contents as they index it quickly and because it tends to explain in details a particular topic.
So the first step to making your blog popular is to write quality content, that way you can follow the next tips to make it a success.

This is overlooked by many new bloggers but it's one of the most effective ways to get your new blog popular. In fact I use the blog commenting technique to get massive extra 4,175+ daily page views to my blog.
This is how blog commenting works;
- You visit a blog that talks on the same topic with your blog usually known as your niche
