So, I thought about writing this one for all those who have just started and have the same in mind…
… It is not for you if you have already earned a credibility as a blogger for years.
6 Steps To Becoming a Good Blogger
admit that the following tips may sound usual to many of you.
However, how many of us actually take care of them when we follow our blogging schedule.
You may consider this as a reminder of key points required to maintain a credible blog.
1. Write Briefly
The attention span of people on web is too short.
With so much flashing around and ads hovering in front of eyes, a few of them take out real time to read long and lengthy pieces of content.
The fact is that many of us hardly like to spend time scrolling…
… and this is the reason your whole story should be put across in no more than 600 words.
You may work on shorter ones with 400 or 300 words if you have supporting videos or photos.
Longer than 600 is acceptable if it is really an interesting story that you are sure people will stick to.
2. Use Catchy Titles
Use humorous titles or ask a question.
Your aim should be to entice people to click on your title to read.
Try using the type of headlines you love exploring.
This will take you much closer to the psyche of the reader in your niche.
For example:
Dull and Boring title: How to post in blogger.
Catchy title:6 steps to post in blogger.
Catchy title:6 steps to post in blogger.
3. Share it On Social Media
If you want more people to see your post, you have to share it on different social media platforms.
Use Google+, Twitter, Facebook to make your posts viral.
Also, look out for some other social media platforms being used by your competitors.
Check their website traffic sources and be active on those platforms as well.

This will help in building relationships and enhancing your network.
Building relationships lead to trust factor, and once people start trusting you, you get regular following on web.
5. Bow to the Tech
An expert designer and developer can make the ‘look and feel’ of your blog –
not only attractive but worth sharing too.
Spending some money on the design and beauty of your blog is not a bad idea if you are not good at it…
…and it’s also the sixth way of blogging motivation.
6. Update it Regularly
Your blog needs to be updated at least once a week.
The more often you update the better it is.
Create a schedule to post information on week days.
Weekend traffic flow should be expected to be lower than week days.
You can run an A/B test on your blog to check what’s the actually benefit of updating the blog regularly.
