Starting a blog is one thing, but maintaining and commercializing it is another. Every day we hear bloggers’ success stories making as much as six figures from just regularly updating their blogs and feeding their audiences with captivating and juicy content. Still, not all of these bloggers go in-depth with the secrets to their success.

If you dream about having your own blog someday and being successful at it, we write this for you. This article has relatable and realistic tips lined up to see you through your journey as a successful, prosperous blogger. However, you need to know it’s no easy peasy task and will require your time, dedication, hard work, and plenty of patience –but it’s totally achievable.

Now that you know this let’s get you started on the metrics of running a successful blog, which will ultimately set you up to be worth a million bucks!

CREATE A NICHE FOR YOURSELF

There are many niches out there to settle for, from lifestyle, business and health to DIYs and self-help blogs. “Being a jack of all trade” blogger might not give you space to focus and create quality content. Creating a niche for your blog will set you off as a blogger known for a specific subject matter. Focusing on a particular theme and other related sub-themes also presents you as a reliable blogger of the said niche(s).

If you want to dabble into other unrelated niches, you can start an entirely different blog for that purpose– although this might be double the commitment, look on the bright side… more streams of income!

TAILOR YOUR CONTENT TO SUIT YOUR AUDIENCE

If you’re a lifestyle blogger, content relating to travel, beauty, fashion, and likes are excellent content blog ideas. And if your preference is more business and wealth inclined, target entrepreneurial, finance, and wealth-based content creation for your blog. Feed your target audience with the right content, and they’ll keep coming back.

WORK TOWARDS GETTING REGULAR VISITORS

The more traffic you have on your blog site, the more your chances of hitting it big. Blog promotion is one way to get the word out there about your startup.  You can promote your blog articles using social media platforms share options, and the rest will be history. Pinky swear. 

START SMALL WITH ADVERT RATES

One way bloggers commercialize their blogs is by advertising products and services, which gives these products and services a wider audience. In turn, the owners and sponsors pay certain rates to have their products on such blogs. To attract clients and build a solid customer base, place your advert rates at affordable prices and gradually up your game as your number of visitors increases.

CREATE YOUR OWN CONTENT

The originality of your articles and content tells how dedicated and committed you are to your blog. Show your prospective subscribers that you can feel what they feel, and you have the answers to their questions and the resolution to their conflicts.

While you work towards being unique and original, be intentional about the quality of write-ups you put up. Ensure it is free of spelling and grammatical errors, filled with accurate info, adequately researched, void of plagiarism, and friendly – and you will be the favorite blogger of your audience.

UTILIZE SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves using tools like keywords, Meta description, eye-catching titles, and appropriate content length to put your blog articles on the frontline on search engines like Google and Bing when users make searches on topics related to your niche.

Pro Tip: because your mental and emotional healths are key factors in the push to becoming successful – at anything at all – you need to eliminate anything that may be adversely affect your emotions and mind in your bid to kick off your blogs like discouragements, unhealthy competition, and peer pressure.

REMEMBER THIS…

It takes time for a blog to mature to the level of being a source of revenue, which is why it can be very discouraging and challenging waiting. But as the saying goes, the patient dog eats the fattest bone.

Everyone can blog and try out at blogging. Still, not everyone can be successful without knowing how to be, which is why this article is the perfect go-to for blogging beginners or bloggers finding it slow to make money from blogging.
