Every
blogger wants to have the most popular blog but it doesn’t always happen for
them. This year needs to be different, you need to do all you can to make your
blog more popular now than ever before.
So, how do
you make your blog popular.
There are
several things that you can do to make your blog popular but one thing is to
just keep blogging. A lot of people fail because they don’t see traffic coming
to their blog as fast as they would like and therefore they just stop writing.
Do yourself a huge favor and make sure you set a blogging schedule for yourself
and stick to it. Trust me, a blogging schedule will work better than you think.
Ok, lets get
right to it.
Tricks To Make Your Blog Popular
Weekend
Blogging
Something
that I am currently contemplating is doing a little weekend blogging. Whether
this would mean publishing posts on this blog or on other blogs for guest posts
doesn’t matter, all that matters is that I am doing something to help build my
community. I love publishing posts here but the fact of the matter is that
doing a guest post will bring in more traffic. If getting your blog the
popularity that it deserves is something that you really want to do, then guest
posting is what you should be doing. Just know that with guest posts there
really isn’t a way get penalized because Google loves to see authoritative
links back to your blog.
Email Other
Bloggers
Have you
ever email another blogger to let them know about your blog? If you have never
done this, then it is about time. The entire point of doing this is to get the
gurus and other big name bloggers to come and check out your site so that they
mention it in a post of their own. Where the bigger bloggers benefit the most
is from people reading a post they just wrote and then mentioning it on their
blog. Think about it, how easy is this if all you have to do is write a post
and the other bloggers do everything for you? My advice is not to just spam the
bloggers though, you should read their latest blog post and then comment on it
before you send them an email. I know it might seem like a little more work but
the bigger bloggers will like this much better.
Increase
Your Social Media Following
How many
fans and followers do you have on Facebook and Twitter? Are you starting to
grow your circle on Google+? I ask this because in order to become more popular
you will need the help of other people. One of the best ways to make your blog
popular in 2012 is going to be with social media. With Facebook and Google+ on
the rise there is no reason as to why you should not be using them to get more
traffic and spread the word about your blog posts.
Tip: I
would highly recommend setting a goal for yourself as to how many more
followers you would like to get each month. I did this last year and the
results really paid off. The trick is to do everything you can to ensure that
your following keeps growing no matter if you get 50 new followers or 500 each
month.
Information
Is The Key
Are you
creating epic blog posts? Do you write posts that people have to come back and
read more later because there is just so much information? In order to make
your blog popular in 2012 you will need to spend a lot more time working on
your content. I am not saying that you need to spend a week writing one blog
post but it should take you longer than 20 minutes. Where a lot of bloggers
make the mistake is they just try to get the most information on their blog as
opposed to the best information. Check out Problogger.net and see how Darren write his
posts, some of them are short and some are a little longer. He does this
because it doesn’t always require 2,000 words to get his point across.
Tip: In
my experience a good post length is between 800-1500 words. If you are trying
to do more of a pillar style post, then I would recommend writing one that is
at least 1,500.
Establish
Yourself
When I say
establish yourself, I mean you need to establish yourself as an expert in your
field. The reason I highly recommend doing this is because once you become an
expert in your field then people will start to notice you even more. Not only
that but you could make the pages of local newspapers, national magazines and
possibly be seen on T.V. There are a lot of bloggers out there that have been
on T.V. talking about what they do and why they do it. Just think, this could
be you at some point.
Do you see
how these 5 tricks can help you make your blog popular in 2012? There are a lot
of things that you can do to make your blog popular but I would start right
here with these. The last thing I want you to know is that the best thing you
can do is guest posting and if you can fill up your weekends with these, then
you will see a huge jump in this years popularity.
