8 HIGHLY GUARDED SECRETS TO BLOGGING

SECRET 1 - Do A Survey On What Your Readers Like To Read About Not What You Wish To Write About.

It is always very important to know what your customers or readers like to know more about. You can find out easily by researching what your audiences like to read about. You can do this through forums, social sites, classified adverts or Google ad words

With that information, you can gather the information and create a product or service around it or write content on what your readers love to read about. That will make your readers interested and love to find out more about what you want to write
about and help to solve their problems.

SECRET 2 – Be Creative!

After you find out what your readers want, it is time to start to think of ideas or articles you can write to cater for their needs. Write to make the article interesting to read, straight from the point and keep your articles short, sweet and straight to the point. But, remember
always be honest and speak from your heart as readers will be able to tell if you are trying to lie. Note that credibility plus believability equal to proof.

SECRET 3 - Promote Your Blog Post With All You Have Got.

Many people who blog online always fail to do this important step and expect traffic to automatically just appear out of thin air. To be honest, you often hear this at marketing events only but the truth is you WILL NEVER get traffic if you do not promote your blog post.
So what you should do is start telling your friends about your blog post or go to forums, social sites, article sites or leave a comment on other similar blog.



SECRET 4 – Start Collecting And Building Your List.
Directing readers to your blog is important but what is more
important is to build a list from your blog too. Lists are basically
information people give you about themselves when they fill in a form to get a free gift from you. The important thing to note is that without collecting people’s contact details, there will be no way you can communicate with them later if you like to do so. How much you would like to make from your blog or business will most likely
be determined by the number of list and readership you have to your blog. So start building your list today if you have not done so.



SECRET 5 – Get Yourself A Set of Golden Keywords
When you are thinking of posting a post on your blog, the first thing you would need first is not the article but a bunch of golden keywords with high demand. With those keywords, you would want to optimize your blog post title, body, meta tags and url with the right keywords in your blog post so that search engine will be able to give you better ranking on searches.



SECRET 6 – Post Frequently on Your Blog
Successful bloggers all ensure that they post very often on their blogs. Try to post as frequently as possible on your blogs.

There are two reasons for this: to keep search engine updated that there are regular fresh contents in your blog, and hence, more for your readers to read.

SECRET 7- Up Your Categories with Keywords
