Making Your Blog Popular

If you have a blog, you obviously want to be a success with it. After seeing all the bloggers out there who are making money and getting famous from their blog, it's natural to want that for yourself. However, you need to put some things in place first to set yourself up for success. Here are some smart tips that will help you get more popular.

1. Make sure you are passionate about the subject of your blog. This is what is going to be the best thing about your blog. You have a unique voice, and your passion will be what people tune in for. If you want a popular blog, you need to bring your passion with you and have the drive to keep your blog going.

2. Post at least three times every week. When you post regularly, people stay tuned in and they go back to your blog to see what you're going to say. When you don't post often, people will go and look at other people's blogs. They will lose interest in your blog and you will have a harder time keeping blog readers. When you post regularly, people know what to expect and head back to see what you have to say.

3. Have recurring themes. Return to the same themes over and over in your blog. This will give you ideas and help you to come up with content. This will also attract and hold the attention of your readers.

4. Enlist guest bloggers. Guest bloggers do more than give you a break. They bring their audience to your blog. And when that audience is there, you can interest them in your other posts and make them a fan of your blog as well.

5. Visit the competition. You don't even have to view other blogs as competition. No one has the voice you have, and no one can bring your unique skill set to the public but you. Who knows, one of the owners of the blogs you visit will write a guest blog for you?

6. Encourage comments and reply to them. Make sure that you don't take negative things personally. Evaluate whether the person is making a point, but don't allow it to demoralize you.

7. Remain professional. It can be really easy to curse at someone, or to start a blog battle with someone else. However, it makes you look much worse than they do in any squabble, because as the blog owner, you are held to a different standard.

8. Be an expert in your subject field. When you are an authority on your subject, you become respected by your readers. They look to you for information and guidance about your subject, and they respect your opinion.

Now that you've had a chance to read through this article, you have a good idea of what you need to do. If you want to have a popular blog, you have to do the right work. With these tips, you're ready to go and can be a great success.
