The average blogger does not make enough money to make it worthwhile their time.
But on the other hand there are those who make their living (a nice one, I might add) just with blogging.
So what are the secrets, why are some able to blog successfully, and others failing? The answer is simple.
Those who are able to blog successfully, are those who treat their blog as if it were their business.
This means they put out their best work only, and do so on a regular basis.
They only put up blog posts which add value to the readers, and are always there to help and answer any questions which the readers may have.
So if you want to blog successfully, you need to also treat your blog as if it were your business.
You should also aim to blog on a regular basis.
This will help the search engines to know when to come and index your blog, so they can start sending you traffic to your new blog post.
But what about in an emergency where you just cannot find the time to update your blog? You still need to make blog entries, even in emergencies.
Most blogging platforms allow you to blog in advance and schedule your blog posts to come out at certain times, or days.
This is the most convenient way to always have your posts coming out at a specific time and date...
rain or shine.
You should also keep your readers in mind, and only write about what you think they will want to know more about.
Put yourself in their shoes and ask questions which may arise in your head, then answer them in full detail.
You can also ask your readers what they would like to know more about.
This takes the guessing out for you, and you will always know that what you are writing about, is helping someone else.
(This alone is reward enough.
And if you help others when there is no money coming in, it won't be long before it will.
) Share your opinions with your readers.
There will always be those who will not agree with your opinions, but no matter what your opinions are, someone will always disagree.
So just speak your mind.
The internet has a wide audience and you will find your readership.
Last but not least, write well.
If your blog is poorly written, no one will want to read it.
Always use a spell checker and make sure that you have used all your words correctly.
