Write Blog Posts Regularly

Blogging today is mainly about writing or in other words publishing contents for your blog readers.

In order to become a top blogger in your niche then you have to write contents for your blog on a regular basis. Doing this will let your blog readers see that your blog is not dead. Your blog will be updated regularly and this is what is needed in order to be one of the top bloggers in your niche.

Don’t just write because you haven’t published in a long while because sometimes we end up posting crappy contents, but write contents that appeals to your readers interests and needs.

Another thing why most bloggers fail to come up with contents for their blog is because they fail to start writing. You don’t have to publish an article everyday and you don’t have to write a complete article everyday. But what you should do is write a little everyday so that you can become a better writer.

A great way to do this is by creating a writing schedule and it will only work if you stick to this schedule.

Make Your Blog User Friendly

Ever since I started blogging back in 2010, I have seen some blogs that aren’t user friendly and blogs that are user friendly.

Which blogs do you think were more successful?

If you say that the more successful blogs are the user friendly ones then you are indeed correct!

A blog that is user friendly invites the visitors and readers to stay on that blog or keep coming back to it because it is friendly.

Unlike the other blogs which aren’t user friendly will force it’s visitors away.

To make your blog one of the best in your niche then making it user friendly is the way to go. Have clean navigation bar, don’t clutter with too much ads, make your blog fast and remember to have a nice blog theme.

Promote Each New Blog Post

When it comes to advertising your blog blog then promotion is a must. To get traffic to your blog then you must go out and tell others about it.

After you write your new blog post it is wise to do promotion for that blog post.

A great way for doing promotion for your new blog post is on social media sites. These sites as we know are full of people who can be seen as potential targeted blog traffic.

Promotion via social network sites is vital as well. This will help other bloggers in your niche to notice your blog and visit to check out what you have written.

Blog commenting is another great means of promotion, especially if the blog that you are commenting on has the Comment Luv installed on it.

There are tons of ways that you can promote your new blog post, all you have to do is find the method which works best for you and use that method to it’s fullest each time you publish a new blog post.

Rally Around Other Bloggers In & Out Of Your Niche

Most time bloggers will only hang out with bloggers who are in their niche. What about bloggers in other niches?

Don’t they count as well?

Well they should because we are all bloggers. Hanging out or chatting with bloggers from other niches can help to boost your blog.

Take for example, a blogger from a food niche. You might come to that food blog and find a good recipe and decide to leave a comment thanking that food blogger for the wonderful ingredients to make a very tasty meal. The food blogger might have been having a bit of problem with his blog and decides to check out your blog.

On your blog there is the solution to fix that blogger’s problem. You know what will happen next? You are right, this food blogger will now see your blog as a source help when need to improve their blog’s efficiency.

When you talk with other bloggers from other niches you can both share with each other the tings you have done to get your blog where it is today. Try to apply each others tips to your blog and see how well your blog will benefit from it.

Doing this can help you to become a top blogger in your niche as well.

    I agree that we should we should write regularly and share it on social media channels. But there should be a proper strategy. I think posting more than three posts daily on social media can be negative for your blog. I guess it will be annoying for the readers

      Hello Munna,

      You can become a top blogger in your niche even if you don’t write on a regular basis. The key to that is promotion.

      Promotion of your content is vital if you want to become a popular blogger.

      Writing on a regular is something most bloggers think they lack. You don’t have to publish each day, but write a little each day.

      I have a new post coming about blog post writing, I would love for you to read it when I publish.

      Thanks for the comment and hope to see you again.

    Hey Kharim,

    Thanks for awesome points to mention here. I would also like to include one point that’s needed backlinks for high-authority sites. However, nowadays, sitebar links are playing important roles. What you think?

      Hi Sohil,

      You are so right pal. Backlinks plays an important role when it comes to SEO as well.

      I think all links are important and especially if they are dofollow.

      Thanks for the comment.

    Hi Kharim,

    It takes lot of time to become a top blogger in niche blogging. There are many famous bloggers who are having knowledge and technical skills which can beat any newbie niche blogger easily.
    You have mentioned the points correctly. Regularity is the key by which we can get our goal. Hard is required at a great extent.

    Thanks for sharing this post.

    Hi Kharim, I loved your point about rallying around other bloggers in and out of your niche. I think that is a key element to success in blogging. We cannot go “it alone” out there blogging.
    Promoting your posts is key too as long as you do not overdue it and appear spammy out there. I see some that promote only their own stuff and that’s not good. It should be the 80/20 rule, 80% promoting others content and 20% your own.

      Hi Lisa,

      Blogging is not only about our blog, but if we visit other blogs every now and then then this can be good. Success can be achieved this way.

      Your tips on promotion is great. That 80/20 rule is awesome. I will try that out.

      Thank you very much for the comment.

    One of the first obstacles though holding potentially able loggers back is that they have only a foggy idea about how to define their niche. This leads to communicative disconnect with their potential audiences. Researching a few rare keywords I just discovered dozens of blogs started with obviously the best intentions but abandoned during 2008 through 2011.

    Thank you for this post. 🙂 Basically, I knew all of them but you have highlighted them back. I am real slow with blogging I guess? I write post like every 15 days. The only problem is that I don’t get ideas. 🙁 Can you list some tips, it would be really helpful.

    Thanks

      Hey Vikas,

      The same thing happened to me pal because I have slowed down in my blogging as well. I used to write every 2 to 3 days and now sometimes a month apart now.

      Time for me to step up the pace again.

      You can get ideas from other blogs, forums, blog commenting, brain storming and from social media sites.

      Hope that helps you and thanks for the comment.

    Promoting to the right audience is the key. In general solving people’s problems is the key to success, however not just great content will bring your site on Google’s first page, the link building strategy will do that.
