Admit that you have ever wondered…
You have been writing severally and have even gotten a few
likes but you are not getting any good results or blogging a success. The links
have become hard to come by while traffic, on the other hand, is not coming in as
you expected and the comments section on your site isn’t just happening.
likes but you are not getting any good results or blogging a success. The links
have become hard to come by while traffic, on the other hand, is not coming in as
you expected and the comments section on your site isn’t just happening.
Then you get these thoughts
Maybe you just need patience as you wait for your traffic to
pick up and your blogging success to become reality. Or is it possible that your
content might really not be all that and prevent your blogging success? Does it
suck (in so doing it breaks one of the rules of a copy blogger) and are people
just trying to be nice in order for them not to hurt your already messed up
feelings.

just trying to be nice in order for them not to hurt your already messed up
feelings.
The hard truth is that there is no way to tell for sure
What we are talking about here is about quality is the
main thing. One man’s meat is another man’s poison and that is how it is.

The scale also matters unlike what happens in America’s got

If you have just begun blogging, you can have less than 100
readers who regularly read your work and, in this group, 20 of them might be
your family and friends. And on some real talk, your brother might not like
everything you write regardless of how bad it is. That is the point.

So, what happens now? Who do you listen to at this point in
time to create your blogging success? Actually, everybody and nobody at the
same time. The disturbing thing about coming up with some things I that no one
helps you to come up with it and yet people’s opinion indeed teaches one on
something that he did not know before.

There you have it, there are no rules, there are warnings, however. If your content is not helpful or knowledgeable, you will get hints or
tell-tale signs that something might actually be wrong. Using the following
signs, you can be able to tell whether you fall in any of the categories and
most importantly discover how to improve your strategies of blogging to reach
your deserved blogging success. Ensure you do just that because we are striving
towards making you a great blogger.
- You take so much confidence in your content
This goes to say that you feel that the content you have
posted up is good enough and if you had to rate it on a 1 to 10 scale you would
give it a 6 or 7. But the thing is, you cannot grade the content in your site
on a scale. You would be either putting people to sleep or blowing their minds.
When you grade your content at 6 or 7, it will surely get a reaction as a 1 and
it would be waste to have them published.
- Your posts sound like a journal entry
Not so long ago, a lot of people use to submit their journal
entries online as blogs where people got to look at them for a few minutes.
Nowadays, however, blogs have become more important. They are more like
magazines that you can find online which have highly polished content.

You are not getting any remarks on your posts
You are not getting any remarks on your posts
Getting comments on one’s work is the best way to know how
engaged your readers are with your work. If you have no remarks or comments yet
you have a lot of subscribers, it simply means that they do not find your
content as helpful. In other words, your content sucks.

you have a lot of subscribers, it simply means that they do not find your
content as helpful. In other words, your content sucks.
- Your visitors spend a very short time on your page
In order to have blogging success, installing Google analytics would help to know the amount of time your visitors spend on your web
page. Staying anything more than two minutes is a good sign while less than
that…well, not good. With this, you will be able to know that you are not
doing so well and therefore need to do something.

that…well, not good. With this, you will be able to know that you are not

- When you spend less time when writing your posts
Most people who have had blogging success spend more than 2
hours preparing for a particular blog although it is actually possible for one
to come up with a blog within 15 minutes. Not all quickly prepared blogs turn
out to be successful therefore you need to check on that.

- You have never gotten a fan mail
If your blog content is exceptional, your fans will indicate
that by writing to you and telling you about it. This is not just about the
usual nice tweets that you get but something more like a five-page e-mail where
they write about their experiences and how you have helped them. Of course,
this comes with time. When you are beginner, you will not get much often but if
you are good, you will be fortunate to get some. This should, therefore, tell you
that your content is not as helpful as it should be when you don’t get any.

- You have never gotten a hate mail
The opposite also applies. If your content is super, there’s
always this group behind the scenes that will take you to be rude,
inconsiderate, and wrong about your ideas. This group of people is referred to
as the righteous majority and nothing you can do or say will ever appease
them. You should therefore not try as long as you have got things under
control. Their screams and mockery should just be an encouraging factor that
you are heading the right way and near to reach blogging success.

- Before getting your first link, your focus should lie on SEO
I always think that any newbie who starts by enquiring on
SEO, before they have written any posts, is doomed. For starters what is
important therefore is posting up links of your site before you begin writing
any blogs. If you are on this track, you should know that for blogging success,
links are more important than keywords. This will apply later on.

create a popular blog
create a popular blog
Just to set the record straight, SEO is as important as any
other online marketing tool but it cannot make your blog successful. You need
to have remarkable content before you decide to go the optimization way. If you
skip this beat, you miss out on a very important aspect of marketing.

- Saving the best ideas that you have for later
If you fall in this lot of people who hold back their best
ideas for an e-book or a course waiting for the blogs to get popular for them
to release their ideas, you should put a stop to this. You might be sitting in
on many opportunities while doing that and this is harmful to you so just have
all the good stuff that you have published today.

If you decide to write just about everything that you have
on your mind in one blog, you will no doubt frustrate your visitors. Why?
People come to your blog to find solutions to certain problems that they may be
having and not to find out what you are thinking about today. They will stop
reading the moment it becomes all about you and not them.

- You have no idea of the benefits
You should ask yourself this question: – How will my reader’s
lives be a year from now after reading my blogs? What measurable results be
they specific or not have you helped them achieve. This is not about your
having a sense of great prosperity or fulfillment but it should be on the basis
of your clients losing 20 pounds as well as acquiring five good new clients. If
you don’t work with the above terms, you are going to fail without a doubt.

- You are not getting as much traffic as you deserve
If you feel annoyed that no one is appreciating the
knowledge and value that you so freely give, you should ask yourself why. No
one should get attention just as they desire. You should struggle and
understand that nothing comes easy. You have to work for what you want. Do not
miss out part I and part III. Part III look at what you need to do as a blogger
to better your work and finally build your blogging success. Good luck as you
continue implementing what you have learned so far.

- You have an engineering, science or technology background
No one means to be disrespectful but the above mentioned and
other kinds of technologists have been trained to be passive, objective as well
as detached and if you have the three mentioned aspects then you will only see
blogging success in other people but not you.

- You do not have any information on copywriting
When you decide to begin writing blogs without having a look
at copywriting content, it is like looking for a needle in the haystack. Some
can get away with it but you will have to be really lucky. Study copywriting if
you have not yet done that. It is very important.

- You don’t know what your readers stay up at night doing
You should strive to become intimate with your readers and
this means that you should get to know what they like reading. Great writing
requires you to be very intimate. Get to know what makes them tick, what scares
them as well as what gets them excited. Get to know what goes on in their minds
at 2 AM in the morning. Using this revelation, communicate with them through
your blog posts. When you communicate with them at such deep and emotional
levels they will not be able to help but be glued to your blogs.

This is probably one of the biggest signs that should get
you turning around. If you are writing less than 1000 words every day, it will
be very hard for you to come up with anything reasonable for your blog content
Practice writing every day aiming to get to 1000 and more words for a period of
30 days and you will no doubt see that it will have an impact on your writing.

- Spending few in a week hour reading
Other than spending enough time reading, it is important as
well to read a lot. It is helpful because it opens one up in terms of different
skills in writing. It sharpens your grammar, gives you new ideas and also keeps
you updated on what is currently selling in your area of expertise.

- You have never communicated with any of your readers on the phone
or in-person

If you just spend an hour talking to one of your vivid
readers, you will understand a lot more than you thought you knew. This teaches
you how to communicate well with your readers. This important because it
brings you to understand their expectations and as a result, you will now be
able to deal effectively.

You are not badly off; you are a bit safe for the time being
because you have not been around for long. There is nothing you can do at this
point in time but the above mentioned should now help you have great blogging
success. Keep trying and keep it in mind that people will ignore your blogs for
starters but this will soon come to pass.

In Summary
Producing great content is not as easy as people think.
There are no shortcuts in this path and you cannot decide to work your brain
like an auto pilot’s engine.

You have to work those hours, reading, writing and
researching. Yes, researching as well is equally important. Coming up with
super content is going to need a lot of input. It is not rocket science but
likewise, it requires a lot of energy, time and dedication.
