other.Becoming a successful blogger isn’t a easy task because managing your
blog will be your top most priority.A example of a successful blogger is NEIL PATEL.
A successful blogger is not
someone that just makes money everyday but is that person that can be able to
reach out to his/her audience and provide them with quality or top information
that is needed by them.As a bloggeryou have high priority when it comes to
blogging which means that you can’t just write a article now and abandon that
article for another.That is just wrong!!!.You can’t just wake up and say that
you want to make money while blogging.In order to become a successful blogger
you should be known as that blogger that inspires or help people on the
web.Being a blogger doesn’t mean you should have a personal blog to be
successful even though I recommend it,all you could go to other sites and post
articles and get paid.Such sites include: PINTERST

able to reach out to your audience with good information and such.It is very
important to choose the platform you want to start you blog with because that
platform should be able to meet up with the demands of your blog.Blogging
Platforms include:

Among all this blogging platform highly recommend Wordpress.com because it is mostly used
all around the world to the extent that even NEIL PATEL blog was made from it.Those who take blogger are for the
ones who don’t want to stress their self and it is much user friendly.

LAYOUT THAT WILL SUIT YOUR BLOG

A layout is the way your blog is designed and viewed.The
layout is like the skeleton of your blog that puts everything where it is
supposed to be.It is essential in selecting the right layout for your blog
because when people visit your blog,the first thing they will see is your
layout.The layout is the skeleton of your blog while the contents and widgets
are the body that are contained on the layout.The way your layout looks matter
especially making a blog.Imagine your layout is not selected well,you would’t
get more people that will visit your blog.Here are sites where you can get
layouts or theme:

suit your blog and make it more attractive.
*LEARN SEO

search engines like Google. It is used for designing and
developing a website to rank well in search engine results and improving the

INTERESTING ARTICLES
Unique also means outstanding.So what I mean is that when
writing articles they should be unique and interesting.Making a article unique
is writing a article that is interesting and will make people want to view
it.Write it in such a way that when people view that article they will like to
read more and know more about such article which will mean you have started
having chances of starting a successful blog.Also making it interesting means
that it shouldn’t be long and too short because who will want to read a long or
short article.Imagine visiting a site where they are saying HOW TO MAKE SALAD and you see a long
article on it.You wouldn’t read it completely instead you will skip interest in
it and then you will ignore it and visit another site.
*GET ADSENSE APPROVED
Getting adsense approved on your blog marks the success on
your blog.Adsense is a advertising network that pays you for displaying
advertisements.Adsense is owned by Google which is a further advantage because
Google is the world most used Search engine.Also you have to read the terms and
conditions when registering your blog for Adsense.On my next article,I will be
talking about how to get adsense approved.Adsense is widely used in websites
and blogs.They really do pay well depending on the views you get on your blog.There
are also other advertsing network apart from Adsense.Some of them are:

SOCIAL MEDIA
It is advisable to share your blog content and articles on
social media because it is used by a large number of people.Through this
way,your blog can become popular and you could also get more views on your
blog.You could also add Social Media widgets like Facebook,Twitter or Instagram
on your blog so it could be more easier for people who visit your blog to know
about your pages and posts on them.
*GIVE OUT PROMOS AND
REWARDS
What do I mean by
giving out promos and rewards?
Once in a while,create promos so that your viewers will like
to win or get them for perfoming a task you ask them to do.This will build your
blog popularity and viewers.Try giving out promos such as:
-Get a free e-book on
SEO just by filling out this survey.
That is an example of a promo that could attract
visitors on your blog.Through this,you
could be able to get more subscribers and followers.
*CREATE SURVEYS
What are surveys?
Surveys are a method of collecting data from a form in which people are asked to answer a number
of questions (usually in the form of a questionnaire).Adding surveys on your
blog is a beneficial way of knowing what your viewers think about your
blog.Through surveys,you can be able to collect the viewers information and
review of your blog which you could further make changes to your blog. You
could also add chatbot in place of surveys so that they can get further more
information.
