If you are blogging without a strategy, most likely you are going to join the millions of dead blogs that are already out there.
You may be surprised to find that you can actually separate yourself from the pack by doing things a bit differently.
Yes, just a little bit differently.
Blogging is a great tool to publish content and build relationship with your audience.
This is a simple but very important concept.
Your strategy must be created around these ideas.
Here are the 3 secrets to build a successful blog: 1.
Have a plan It doesn't matter how or where you put the strategy.
It may simply be some notes on the back of the envelope.
Knowing what you want to achieve and how to achieve it is very critical to the success of your blog.
Building a successful blog is not about trying a dozen different traffic strategies, each tactic for week.
That is not how things work.
Being strategic means you leverage your strength and resources to reach your goal faster.
If you are good at writing, syndicate your content.
Guest blog and write articles for distribution in article directories.
Don't jump on video marketing just because it is the coolest tactic today.
2.
Create good content, regularly Blogging needs regularity.
You can't write once a month and expect people to stay with you.
You need to keep in touch and constantly give away good information.
When people like what you have to say, they want more.
They may be involved in the niche too closely they want to read new things every day.
People will subscribe to more than one blog at a time, but they are going to stay with the best of the best.
3.
Promote your blog There are much more content created everyday than you have time to consume for the rest of your life.
Other people will notice great content, but you still need to promote it so it is visible to as many readers as possible.

The key is in taking action instead of finding the key.
You have known what it takes to build a successful blog.
All you need to do now is implement and get result.
Remember, no matter what you do, result will not come just because you know it.
