Being a good blogger is not something so difficult to achieve, there may be a thousand and one rules to follow to be a good blogger, but I have narrowed down the million points to the best of my knowledge. I hope you do gain something by reading this.
Below is my list of complied points for being a good blogger:
1) Be yourself :
My number one rule to being a good blogger is to be yourself. Write in your own style and in your own voice, and you will be surprised at how well you will do as a blogger.
2) Choose a Niche for your blog:
A niche (in its simplest of definition is the people to which you are directing your blog content to). Choose a niche which you know about well so you never go out of content.
3) Know your readers well:
Even before you write your first blog post, it is worth the effort to take the time to study the kind of audience you are marketing or directing your blog contents to. Some criteria to watch out for are: their marital status, their age, education level, location and so on. These might not be the only things to look out for, but they are worth studying.
4) Relate with other bloggers:
Seriously, to get your blog going, it is an inevitable activity that you must carry out for the good of your blog. This has so many advantages of which i can manage to mention a few here, because, it really is a topic on its own. Relating with other bloggers especially those in the same niche with you will not give your blog exposure to a larger audience but help you build back links which in turn increases your pagerank and the perceived value of your blog in the eye of our dearly friends (search engines).
Really, the importance of relating with other bloggers can not be over emphasized, engage in it, and you will have me to thank for it.
5) Be ready to improve:
Yes, you will have a lot of areas to improve at as a blogger. Your writing skill, you communication skill, your thinking skill are just some of the major areas you will need to really improve at if you really are going to be good blogger.
6) How consistent can you be?
You can never be a good a good blogger if you lack consistency. Go ask the big bloggers. As a blogger, you need to set a particular time range which you will update your blog. Are you convenient with putting up a blog post once a day, twice a day, once in two days or probably even once a week.
Just set an achievable time frame, and let your readers know you for it. You will be surprised at how loyal some of your readers can get due to your consistency.
What happens if you have three or four posts at hand, and you only post once in three days, it will just be nice if you can hold it off and release them as scheduled. Read: How to schedule blog posts in blogger.
7) Write good content:
Well, like the saying goes: "content is king". There is no substitute good content. Work well and spend time to create quality, unique and original content, and you will have both search engine and humans addicted to your blog.
Your turn: Now it's time to hear from you. Is there anything you would like to add or subtract from my list? Let's talk.
