Well, if your purpose of blogging is because you want to earn a living, then you can’t miss these 5 super tips to build a successful blog. You should know that if you want to earn a living with your blog, then you will have to be serious with it. Nothing can beat the level commitment. Want to see how the level of commitment determines your success? Read this post, The Commitment of Sylvester Stallone.
I know that every bloggers out there wanted to have a successful blog, but most of them won’t achieve it. Simply because they are not committed to their goal. If you are reading this right now, I want you to be clear and understand this, for most people, their goal is not a must, they can live without their goal. That is why they take no action and live in their comfort zone. Let me tell you this fact, actually, most people want to be rich, they want to be a millionaire, they want financial freedom, they want to be successful.
However, 95 percent of them will not achieve what they want. Why is this so? This is because even if they did not achieve what they want in their life, it will be fine for them! They are not going to die if they don’t achieve it, nobody is pointing a gun on their head, so it will be fine if they did not achieve it.
So the first rule, if you want to build a successful blog today, be committed in it. Give everything, give all out, do what you have to do. If you have to write 2 posts, then sit down and write them, don’t procrastinate, don’t watch movie or go out with your friends.
Once you are committed with blogging, here comes the 5 super tips that can help you build your successful blog:
1. Get The Important Task Done First
This is it, first thing first, do what is important. You have to do your important tasks first every time you start. For example, if you just have one hour, but you have to do two things, posting and replying comments, what you need to do is to choose which is more important and get it done first.
I cannot give you the right answer for which task should be done first, because every blog has its own important tasks. What I can suggest here is that you know what you are doing, go for the one that you think is important. Take posting and marketing your blog for example, posting can be done daily, but it is not necessary. In the meantime, marketing your blog can be a crucial task, because it is going to help you boost the traffic to your blog, expose your blog to the world.
So, first thing first. Do what you suppose to do. Divide your blogging schedule nicely, and stick with it. Here are 2 posts which can help you, Schedule Blogging and How Often Should You Post In Your Blog.
2. 60% Marketing and 40% Building
Here is what most people did not know about. Most bloggers thought that they should keep on updating their blog, keep on coming up with quality post and traffic will come by itself. No, not this way. If you are just starting out, keep on posting for your blog content is a right thing, however, once you have the content, what you should focus more on is marketing your blog, and not building content anymore.
I don’t mean that building content is not important anymore, content is still king. However, it is not something that is so important. After your blog is filled with quality content, you have to market it. If you did not market your blog, nobody will know about it. Don’t expect that people will come to your blog and help you promote your blog. This is your blog, not theirs! Nobody will do this for you except yourself.
Spend 60% of your blogging time into marketing your blog, and the rest goes into building your blog like updating, posting, etc. Marketing strategies like article marketing, forum marketing, comment marketing, social networking are very important tasks, they can expose your blog and create the visibility of your blog.
Don’t get it wrong by thinking that all you have to do to build a successful blog is keep on posting.
3. On-page SEO and Off-page SEO
This may seem like a fancy term, but don’t worry, search engine optimization is not as difficult as you can think of. If you don’t know what is SEO and how it relates to your blog, just read this post of mine, 6 Premium Search Engine Optimization Strategies For Your Blog. It is a great post which you must read if you want to get your blog to rank number one in search engine.
SEO is something you must do every single day when you update your blog. For example, you do do some on-page optimization in every of your post, like, bold the keywords that you are targeting, insert text links in your blog post, etc. As for off-page SEO, article marketing is one very effective strategies. Simply because people will use your articles as their content, and whenever they do this, they will include a link back to your blog. That is how you can build tons of back links for your blog.
Another great strategy for off-page SEO is by using forum and comment marketing. Try to leave your link after every reply in forum or comment. This will also help yo build the number of links pointing to your blog. Remember, don’t simply spam links, people hate it.
4. It Is About Quality, Not Quantity
Blog frequently, but not too often. Most bloggers will agree that two or three posts a week is a pretty good frequency. The key is to make your posts count. Don’t post about anything and everything in your field just because you have to. Posts that are original, meaty and full of opinion are more likely to get read and linked to than posts that are just a few words with a link to the news source.
So why do I still post every single day? This is because I’m building the content for my blog right now. I’m in the phase of building quality posts. I’m going to switch into the next phase, which is marketing my blog soon. Right now, all I do is trying to come up with quality post, that is why I keep on posting everyday. Not because that I have nothing to do, but this is just my blogging principle. I want to create a blog full of great content before actually marketing it.

So think for yourself, if you feel your blog is filled with great content, then you can start to market it. For me, to build a successful blog, it can break into 4 phase. The first phase is where you just get started, learn everything and get use to blogging. The second phase is where you build quality content, because without content, nobody will come to your blog. The third phase will be marketing it, and the final phase is monetization.
5. Keep On Learning and Updating Yourself
The final super tips is this, keep on learning and keep on updating yourself. Learning is a very important process, however, learning itself will not bring you any results. You have to apply what you learn. Be balanced between learning and taking action. Say, maybe 30% learning and 70% taking action. If you have one hour, don’t spend that one hour reading an e-book teaching you how to blog.
Instead use part of the one hour to build your blog, and the rest go for learning. I found that many people keeps on learning, but they never actually take any action. If this is happening to you, then you have to change your routine. Take more action from now on. It is action that produces result.
Often, you can also subscribe to other bloggers which are in the same niche as yours. This way, you can learn from them and see how they progress. Learning from your competitors is one of the best ways to understand your weakness.
I hope that all these 5 super tips here can help you build a successful blog. Always remember this, building a successful blog requires time, it is not something that can be done in just 1 hour. Building your blog is the same as building your asset, its value will increase over time.
