Previous: Compilation of The Best Blogging Tips Part 1

26. Create Progress Reports – You usually see this on Make Money Online Blogs where they make it a point to produce an income report every month. You can try what I do here at wptd wherein I show all of you my growth report. People like reading progress reports because these encourages them to follow your steps. More importantly, a progress report will show you if you are heading closely to your goals and the particular areas you need to work on.

27. Learn from the Mistake of Others – Do take note of the mistakes that are made by other individuals who have more experience in blogging. This will obviously save you time and effort. However, you must be aware that there are things (strategies perhaps) that might not work on others but could work on you.

28. Enjoy Blogging – Perhaps we might get caught up with all the planning and promoting that we forget to have fun and Enjoy Blogging. When updating your blog suddenly becomes a task and a burden, then you are
probably experiencing blogging burnt out. Never lose your enthusiasm in blogging.. If needed, take a break from it and re-assess your situation.

29. Do Video Blogging – Try to do Video Blogging if possible. This is highly recommended if you plan to showcase a tutorial. Clearly, it is more efficient to show your readers exactly how it’s done as it becomes easier to follow the steps.

30. Podcasting - This method of blogging is usually effective when doing interviews. It can get boring
reading the transcribed versions especially when it can get really long.

31. Lists or Bullets - Lists or Bullets are usually instant hits! Why? It’s so much easier to digest information this way. This is a PROVEN formula to attract lots of readers with low attention spans and a high threshold for good information!

32. Create Interesting Titles – It’s obviously the first thing your readers will see so you have to capture their attention. Titles also influences your Search Engine Rankings so always try and incorporate keywords you are optimizing for.

33. Add Images to your Posts – Images enhance posts by giving visual point of interest, grabbing attention, and drawing your readers eyes down a post beyond the first few lines.

34. Keyword Density – Why bore readers with 1000 words? Short blog posts about one subject means having a high keyword density. Keyword rich titles give search engines a good overview of your site and increases your keyword prominence.

35. Make use of Tags – Make use of tags as a way to increase the chances that people who are searching for the topics that you are writing about in your blog to be able to find you.

36. Ask and Involve your Readers – This principle is fairly simple, ask your readers what they want to read about. If you want to release a product, ask for their needs and fill it. That’s it!

37. Feedbacks – Respond and act upon feedbacks. Speak TO them not AT them. Their appreciation of this gesture will be reflected by them continually returning to your blog.

38. Be Generous – Could be different things — advice like blog consultation, free service.. just be generous. You’ll find that doing favors for others is a remarkably easy way to establish long-term relationships.

39. Contest – Either you sponsor a Contest or you run one! You will surely get traffic, subscribers and backlinks in the process, guaranteed!!

40. Market in Moderation – I know most of us would want to run a blog to Make Money but just make sure you don’t over do it. If you use too much marketing in your blog, your readers will be most likely be annoyed, thus, you are losing subscribers.

41. Be Authentic – What if you are paid to promote a product that you have never used or would never even bother to try? Instead of leaving your reputation at stake, you don’t have to tell your audience any lies. You can simply inform them about the product and the benefits that they would possibly get from it. Sending out Information is also an effective  sales strategy.

42. Social Networking Sites -  This is in  fact the easiest way to drive targeted traffic to your blog. Digg, Stumble Upon, Blog Catalog, Delicious etc.. are the popular ones. Use it positively and try not to spam.

43. Stop Being a part of the A-List crowd – Never exhaust at getting any promotion or even attention from A-List Bloggers. It’s a waste of time. What you do is to network to blogs which has the same size as yours or even the new ones. These are the same bloggers who will be needing the same exposure as you.

44. Join Forums in your Niche – Almost every possible niche has a forum or social network which is relevant to it. Find these communities, join them and start participating in discussions. Communities allow you to gain new readers quickly and also allows you get some backlinks from forum signatures and other community pages.

45. Blog’s Loading Time – Make sure you know the average of your blog’s loading time and improve it until it loads a lot faster. You don’t want to lose potential visitors.

46. Permalinks – Having www.wpthemedesigner.com/make-money-online is more search engine friendly than www.wpthemedesigner.com/?p=110. Therefore never forget to customize it.

47. Tagline – If it’s possible for you to create a smart tagline for your blog then that would be to your advantage. It kind of serves as your signature. There are billions of blogs and you simply want to stand-out, right?

48. Keep Learning – Continuously learn about your blogging material as this will help you in adding and creating more content to publish that could be interesting and useful to your readers.

49. Watch your Words – Whatever it is you publish online, you are responsible for it. Keep in mind that a blog is public medium. If you are trying to tackle a sensitive and or controversial topic, it is still best to exercise prudence and precaution. Be careful of what you are posting about other people and other things.

50. Be passionate – Be passionate at what you are doing and this will bring you success. Stay motivated and keep the fire burning.

I guess I will have to read part 1 first before I get back to this.

AZ Bloggings last blog post..BLOGGING AGAINST TIME

AZ Blogging
5th August 2008 at 1:36 am

OK, I am back after reading part 1. I have rated this article 5/5. If one is looking for some other tips better than these, I doubt where those could be found.

While applying these tips, there is one thing we must always keep in mind. Fear! You must defeat your fears. When a young/inexperienced blogger looks ahead and evaluates those who have already made it big time, he/she is discouraged by the long way to go and hard work to do.

Most blogging noobs and semi pros take blogging as secondary since their living depends on many other things and they have a very tight schedule to follow. I have written a post that has a few tips that can help a blogger maximize his/her blogging time. I will encourage anyone interested in this post to also read Blogging Against Time

Thanks.

I’m stuck with No. 48 and i’m really going to learn No. 49. I sometimes find it hard to tone down my rants. I just don’t blog when I feel angry.

This is one hell of a list and it adds more valuable tips than the first part. I guess at the end of the day, the last tips is of foremost importance. Without the passion, everything will just fall apart sooner or later.

Are we expecting another 25, ChiQ?

ChiQ — Great series for new and pro-bloggers. Passion in my opinion is the highest priority. You have to have passion in what you do, seek knowledge and everthing else seems to fall into place. Great list, thank you for sharing. I am thinking of having a contest for my newly launched site, any suggestions for a Real Estate sales agent? Loved what you did when you did the Premium Theme Contest!

I’ve been really wanting to get into video blogging as you recommend, but I have to admit to being camera-shy. And I hate the fact there is no quick backspace/delete key when you’re trying to make a video.
