5 Great Tips for Blogging Success

May 13, 2010 - Last Modified: May 13, 2010 by Onibalusi Bamidele

blogging success

For years now, blogging has skyrocketed from just a hobby to various other things such as making money online, building relationships, getting fame, building authority and credibility and many other things. It is very important to be successful in what we do.

When talking about blogging success, it might be in terms of traffic, influence or income. Below are 5 great tips to help you achieve any type of blogging success you really want to get.

1. Know Your Audience:

It is very important not to neglect the power of your audience. When blogging you have to really understand who your audience is, what they love and what they hate, their passion, what gets their attention easily, the type of people they are, their nature and many other important things about them. You might decide to neglect the power of your audience, but whether you like it or not, your audience will determine so many things about you. Your audience will determine the amount you are making because if they are not interested in your service, then no money for you, your audience will also determine how popular you will be, you can’t expect to go far blogging with the wrong set of people, you don’t expect to go far having the wrong type of audience. Your audience has a major role to play in your blogging career so you have to know them well. Is it young entrepreneurs who are your audience or work at home moms, or politicians, you just can’t afford blogging for the wrong audience so knowing your audience is very important to your success.

2. Dedication:

It doesn’t matter whether you are blogging full time or part time, your dedication will go a long way to achieving your blogging dreams. You have to be dedicated and committed towards your blogging career, which is why it is very important not to start another blog while you are not yet successful with one. You have to be able to sacrifice enough time towards your blog, you should be able to sacrifice your time towards improving your blogging knowledge by reading various blogs in your niche, you have to sacrifice your time towards verifying the quality of information you have, you have to sacrifice your time towards learning and implementing various tactics to bring traffic to your blog, you have to sacrifice your time interacting with your readers in order to have a better community. It is also important to sacrifice your money when there is need for it, it might not look easy at first but the end result is great.

3. Passion:

Passion is a great prerequisite for achieving blogging success. You should have passion for your blog in order to move far. Your passion is what determines how far you can go and how the quality of information on your blog will be. You can easily write various articles and do many other things for a blog you have passion for, but you will find it difficult to put in the same effort towards another blog you don’t have passion for. Your passion will help you achieve greater things because it will be the driving force towards most of the things you do. You might have an intention to make money from your blog but your passion will make sure you don’t quit after long months of waiting without making money online. Your passion will help you blog as if you will not do it again. Having passion is very important to achieve your blogging goals.

4. Consistency:

Consistency and persistency are two important things to becoming a blogging success. You might have done great things, tried your best but yet everything seems like you are not progressing, you have done great things towards achieving your goals but it seems the world is turning against you, being consistent will help you make sure you don’t quit because “winners don’t quit and quitters don’t win”. Being consistent will make sure you are working hard to achieve success irrespective of how it looks from the onset, being consistent will make sure you don’t give up and who knows? You might get what you want soon.

5. Your Goals:

Glad to know you want to be a successful blogger! But if I may ask, what is your definition of a successful blogger?

I don’t expect you to have the same answer because the answer I give will be quite different from what you will give. Your definition of a successful blogger might be in terms of wealth e.g. “I want to be making 5 figure a month”, your definition might be in terms of traffic e.g. “I want to reach 1500 unique visitors a day before the end of this year”, your definition might be in terms of influence e.g. “I want to be as influential as Darren Rowse, and I want the entire blogosphere to be respecting me”, you might have various definition for success but the most important thing is “your goals”. Do you have any goals? Not having a goal will make sure you waste your time and achieve nothing because you will inhabit a characteristic of “I will still do it”: I mean procrastination. Having a goal will make sure you are dedicated towards achieving it because it is already registered in your mind. It is also very important not to limit yourself with small goals such as “I want to achieve 50 unique daily visitors in 3 months” (what a limiting goal), set yourself high goals. It is also important not to set yourself goals that are too high, because the can overwhelm you and make you discouraged which will eventually make sure nothing gets done. Having goals is very important to achieve online success.

Achieving blogging success takes sometime and lots of efforts on your path. The above are 5 sure-fire ways to achieve success for your blog.

    Good points, really the better you know your target audience, the more effective your writing will be.

    I kinda wish folks enjoyed reading real estate blogs. Generally, the only folks that enjoy reading real estate blogs are other real estate agents. Real estate agents are not our next customer, so we tend to either blog about fun stuff to do in our community, or specific search phrases folks might use when Googling for a home or property. .-= NEW from Colleen@Kennewick Real Estate´s last blog ..North Richland Washington Homes For Sale and Real Estate =-.

  12. Murlu says:
    Setting obtainable goals and rewarding yourself along the way is one of the best tips I can give to anyone that is striving for success. Keep trying to build the momentum with everything you do. Write as if you're building an epic which continues to be timeless long after you've finished. Create your own niche within a niche and set yourself apart. Positive reenforcement along the way will help you take it one step at a time. Don't strive for overnight success, you have to learn to walk before you can fly. .-= NEW from Murlu´s last blog ..How To Choose A Profitable Niche Blog Topic =-.

  14. Thomas says:
    While goals are extremely important, I believe that we have to make sure that they follow the SMART system, where they are: Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely The problem with setting goals like,"I want to be as influential as Problogger" Is that it allows too much room for compromise. You haven't set a time to complete this goal by - and how can we actually measure how influential Darren actually is? While I agree that we shouldn't set restrictive goals, if we are going to set big audacious goals, then we need to have stepping stone goals so that we can make sure that we are on track to meet the bigger goal by the allotted time. .-= NEW from Thomas@SEO Services´s last blog ..Cheap SEO: Yes It Is Possible! =-.

    Consistency and passion are the most important parts for one to be successful in blogging.
    • Murlu says:
      What's interesting enough is that they both go hand in hand. If you have the passion to keep blogging, you'll find that consistency will come with ease. As you're more consistent, you'll find more passion due to the community taking notice and inspiring you to continue. .-= NEW from Murlu´s last blog ..How To Choose A Profitable Niche Blog Topic =-.

        Yep, I didn't think it that way, but you're true. I believe the first thing one must have is passion to blog. Otherwise, no matter how much time and effort they put into it, success is not achieved.

      Hi Aminul, Exactly! Murlu is absolutely right. If you have passion for a thing the you will be consistent in doing it. Thanks a lot for the nice comment, -Onibalusi
