blog work fast

As a blogger, whatever your blogging goal, you should be a full talented human being. Why I said so? Because a blogger have so many things to do every day, being a blogger means you are ready to doing multitasking job.

The competition is getting hot everyday, everyone want to be the first at Google SERP and the world always changing. How we dealing with the wind of change? We know Google always improve their system, before today, Google taking seriously about keyword meta tag, today Google doesn’t care about it, lol!

Do you really want to be the first in Google SERP? Do you want to get tons of traffic? or Do you want to making money online? Lots of questions for everyone of us. The only answer is you have to know how to do that guys. You need to have all the skills to get what you want.

The one and the only way to get what you want is by up grading your skills. I’m talking about you as a blogger your self not if you pay someone to blog for you, as Jenny’s last article here, she talking about a blog with personality, yes your blog is a mirror of your personality. So I’m talking about you as a blogger with your personality in it and what you need to do to stay on the cruel competition here on the blogohspere.

The question is how to upgrading my skills? I know I can’t answer this question by my self, here on FamousBloggers there are so many experts and my tutor 🙂 with their amazing blogs, and I hope you all guys can help me with the answer by leaving comment at the comment section.

There are few subject that bloggers have to improve their skills, let me try to make my list:

  1. Writing. Blogging is a bout writing this is very basic skill on blogging world.
  2. Codes. How to use HTML, CSS, java script, etc. Even we are not a webmaster, I think its important to have this skill.
  3. SEO. This skills will make your blog have its place on the top of search engines. Like using meta tag, keywords, etc.
  4. Social Networking. Using network to have more friends and traffic.
  5. Graphic Software. Using graphic software to create your picture for every post.
  6. Promotions and Marketing. Content is the king, but with no promotion your content won’t be a king anymore 😉
  7. Socialize. How you interact with another blogger and visitors.
  8. Let’s share your list start from here 🙂

I’m sure we can’t be an experts on all fields, sometimes we need to specialize our skills but at least we know about the basic, do not walk in the dark. So feel free to enrich this article and sharing your knowledge to the world.

This post inspired by “Cherish” one of the famous song from Kool and The Gang : “The world is always changing nothing stay the same….”

    You don't really need to know graphic design but having a good easy to use software (I use WinSnap) helps tremendously in making your blog posts interesting :) or you can use plug-ins to get free images like PhotoDropper or Zemanta .-= Michael Aulia´s last blog ..January 2010 Traffic & Income Statistics =-.

    A nice post Latief. I must admit in the early days I forced myself to learn a bit of HTML, and because I wanted to make my blog different from everyone else's I learned how to modify the .PHP and CSS files of the themes I was using at the time. Lucky for me my current theme means I don't have to bother with that side of blogging that much these days. I'm not all that fussed about SEO that much either, for me it's all about the writing and the enjoyment that comes from it. .-= Sire@WassupBlog´s last blog ..Blogging, It’s Not What You Say But How You Say It =-.
    • Latief says:
      Yes, we can be an expert on every field. I'm just improving all as I can, learning by doing, read article and asking around. Thanks for sharing your choice here Sire.

    For me I need to work on my spelling and grammar, having no education it's one thing I really do need to keep working hard with. Great post, will definately be coming back
    • Hesham says:
      I was having the same problems as English is not my native language, but blogging helped me a lot, of course I ca not say I am perfect now, but things gets much more better when you write daily!
    • Latief says:
      Grammar is important too bro. One of my blogging goal is practice my English skill or up grade my English, my English much better now. But I still have trouble when I speak in English, lol! Thanks for enrich this article :)
  7. Kiesha says:
    I would expand on "Socializing" - it's more than just interacting with people, but actually going out of your way to be a help to others. I find the more people that I help, the more who are willing to help me. So it requires an attitude of giving rather than focusing solely on what you have to gain. .-= Kiesha @ Highly Favored´s last blog ..Virtuous women are business women =-.
    • Latief says:
      Nice Kiesha, sharing and helping each other even we never met before, that is a magic of blogging, I always believe if you put your personality on your blog, being nice and helpful, rank or traffic is not matter anymore, people will come to you. Thanks for you kinds of words.
  8. TheCopyChick says:
    Great article! As a sales copywriter and journalist, writing definitely is easy for me. My question for you guys though relates to the photographs and graphics to include with each blog post. Where do you guys get your images from? I'm definitely interested in making my blog as pretty as possible! Thanks in advance! TheCopyChick
    • Hesham says:
      Before I answer your question I had to visit your blog, but the link was broken, you have added an extra letter (I have fixed this and it's working now :) Most of the time we create our own images and design them, add some text and some simple work to ti, we get images from searching the internet, if the image doesn't has copyrights then we can use it and modify it to match our needs! You have a very nice and clean blog, I suggest you use wider images full with, one image for each post on the top of the post, and show in on your home page, you will do great with that! Thanks for asking a question ;)
    • Latief says:
      Me, I created my own images or pictures. Its fun but sometimes takes time too. May be you can use pictures on the net, but give the credit for the owner/creator. Or you can follow Hesham how to use pictures on your blog post.

    This year I am going to try to become more versed in code, which I only have basic skills. Also graphic software, I recently started using Gimp because I am too cheap to pay for Adobe Illustrator :-) I think learning all of those skills are very important for every blogger though. Noce article Latief!
    • Latief says:
      I'll concentrate on using WordPress bro, lol! I thing basic skills on graphic design is enough for us because we are not graphic designer, most of our activity is writing contents and promoting the content. Thanka for the enrichment and your kind of words about this article :)

    One of the things that I am working on is upgrading my traffic generation skills! And networking in general with other bloggers this year. .-= Tom@Free Squeeze Pages´s last blog ..Do I Need My Own Product Before I Start List Building? =-.

      That is really awesome skills bro, creating contents and promoting and at the same time growing our network to get more traffic is brilliant, what a great idea. Thanks for sharing Tom.
  11. Dana says:
    Hem ... I think i will focus in writing and SEO. It seems more feasible option for me since already have some knowledge about it. .-= Dana @ Blogging Update´s last blog ..Effective Way to Learn From Favorite Blogs =-.
    • Latief says:
      Create contents and fit them to the SEO will bring you more visitors and increase your rank bro, brilliant :)
  12. Rose-DesRochers says:
    Excellent points. I'd like to add a point that I believe would fall under interaction: As bloggers I think one thing we need to work on is communication. We communicate on social networks and on blogs. It' s not always easy to express ourselves online and not everyone expresses themselves well. With that said sometimes conflict can arise when someone takes what we've said out of context or doesn't quite understand what we mean. Instead of jumping to assumptions we need to simply ask the person we are communicating with to clarify what they meant. Lateif, thank you for asking us to share our opinion. Again, very good article.
    • Latief says:
      Yes is not easy as you said Rose. Especially we communicate through messages and we are came from different culture, and few of us not using English everyday, lol! But I think we can make the communication better if we start from the same point, sharing and helping each other with our blogging activities :) Thanks for sharing and your very kinds of words Rose.
