Blogging is just a tool, you have to make it work for you. If you want to build a better blog, here are 3 foolproof tips to do it. Remember, no one will help you unless you take action and get it done. The only missing link is your action.
1. Focus on a topic
Don't try to talk about everything that you know. Not everyone shares the same hobby or interests as yours. There are blogs that are able to do that successfully, but they are the exceptions. Perhaps the bloggers are very good writers or a well-known celebrity.
It works in early days when blogging is still new. Nowadays, with so many choices of blogs and other web content to peruse, people expect the best of the best. You will do better if you target a niche, cultivate relationship with the audience and dominate it.
2. Give value beyond mere content
You should always try to communicate more effectively. This doesn't mean that you must be a perfect writer before you can build a successful blog. If you can communicate well in print, your blog will be much more enjoyable.
Avoid giving content for the sake of content. Deliver value beyond just knowledge. Tell them what they can use the knowledge for, what they should do next, and be entertaining with your writing.
What separates you from the rest of the bloggers in your market? Quality content is everywhere nowadays, you need more than just content to stand out.
3. Make it visible
A blog can find its way to the light, thanks to the infrastructure of the blogsophere. If you ping blog services, your blog posts will be included and available for others who search for information related to it. However, with millions of blogs, you will have a better chance if you get the word out about your blog.
Building a better blog means reaching more readers. They are going to motivate you and give you feedback that will be useful to improve your blog.
A blog is only better if it serves the audience well. Loyal audience is going to make you more money and make your blogging more fun.
In other words, a better blog is not about the design. You can pay thousands of dollars for images but your audience may not be impressed at all. You should be focusing on your audience instead. Make your blog visible to the right audience and build your following.
Next, it is really up to you. How you would interact and gain feedback from your audience so you know what to do to make your blog more valuable to them.
