Top Five Crucial Advice for Starting Your Blog Successfully

Many think that running a blog is a tough task. But in reality, it’s not. All you need is a few tips that will help you on the right path and your blog will be ready.

Although running a blog is a journey of years, there are certain things you have to keep doing repeatedly to get on the top of the success ladder.

So, we have decided to share with you all the experience we have gained running our blog and the things you should do as a fresh blogger in the form of tips. Read on!

Tip #1: Choose the Right Niche.

One of the most important aspects of your blog is its niche. A blog niche is a particular area or topic your blog is about or intends to write about. It is the primary subject all the content on your blog revolves around.

Examples of blog niches include mobile phones, food, traveling, gaming, etc.

When choosing a niche for your blog, keep the following tips in mind:

1. You should like the niche you choose.
2. You should be passionate about the niche you select.
3. The niche should have an audience potential.

Pro tips: Make a list of things or topics you like the most and are experts in. After that, use Google Trends to search for common niche-related keywords and find whether people are searching about it or not.

Remember, every area has blogs nowadays. We suggest you choose a particular area in your niche. For example, in the sports niche, choose football. Or, in interior design, go for interior design for small apartments.

Tip #2: Keyword Research is VERY Important.

Don’t write a blog post on a topic until you do a thorough keyword research on it. It would help if you did not take a guess to come up with ideas for blog posts.

Instead, use keyword research tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, etc., to find the keywords people are searching about. Only once you are sure, start writing about that topic. This is the only way to bring your blog into search results.

Tip #3: Update Your Blog Consistently.

Have you ever asked yourself why some blogs have zero traffic while a few have millions of visitors? Out of many factors, regularly updating blogs is one.

You have to keep publishing at least one blog post a day, or you can opt for a routine that suits you. However, make sure to provide your readers with something interesting to read regularly, whether daily, once in two days, or weekly.

Remember, Try not to publish very, very long blog articles. This is the era of short-form content. You have to write to the point and tell your point in lesser words.

If you have already written some very long blog posts, you can summarize articles shortly. You can either do that by manually editing the whole blog or using AI-based summarization tools to make your blog more appealing.

Tip #4: Pay Attention to Copyrighted Content.

Often, bloggers (especially the beginner ones) take any image they like on the internet, embed it into a blog post, and publish their articles.

Although it feels perfect, it’s not. What if that image was copyrighted? Sometimes, Google can find whether an image used is copyrighted or not.

Copyright owners can also report the page displaying their work illegally. If this happens multiple times, Google will make your blog disappear from the search results.

Therefore, always use your unique images. If you cannot take good photos yourself, use copyright-free Pixabay, Unsplash, Pexels, Freeimage, etc., to get high-quality, copyright-free images.

Tip #5: Don’t Forget to Use the Power of Social Media.

Whenever you publish a new blog post, DO NOT forget to share it on different social media platforms. This is the perfect way to spread your posts to a wider audience.

Although many, the following two methods are the most common ones:

1. Create Your Own Social Media Pages.

One way to share your blog post is by creating your own pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Share the content you create on these pages, communicate with your audience, and keep them updated with your blog.

2. Share Your Blogs’ Links in Different Groups.

Another way to increase your traffic is by sharing your blog post in social media groups relevant to your niche. Stay active in these groups, answer the queries of different people in the groups, and spread the word about your blog.

Conclusion

When starting a blog, always start with selecting an appropriate niche. You should like the niche. Plus, the niche you select must have a good audience.

Once you select a niche, do thorough keyword research and create content around low-competition keywords. Keep updating the content regularly while using only copyright-free images. Don’t forget to share your blogs on social media.
