So if you are planning to launch a blog of your own or thinking to make your existing blog famous then the question is can you really do so with so many blogs already existing. The answer is YES you really can develop a successful blog. But you have to do it properly. Follow proper steps, put in dedicated time, passion and effort then success would be yours.

Some of the important points to keep in mind for proper blog development and popularity:

A Concrete topic for the blog

Before starting blogging completely think how can you come up with a more concrete topic for the blog. That is if you are already a blogger but if you are thinking of starting a new blog then think how can you focus more on the topic your blog is about.

Content that media would cite

Post about such topics which attract reporters. Make their lives easier by creating resource for them. They would use your article to explain their scoop of news if they find it relevant. Look out for news articles related to your blog theme. Analyze how they would link to your blog then create your own content which would be linked by media persons. SEO firms which provide affordable SEO packages believes that content relevant to the media once cited by them then traffic would increase by leaps and the quality backlinks would also improve.

Posting Consistently

Consistency is very important posting new entries in your blog. Schedule your posts depending on the time availability you have for new posts. It doesn’t matter if you can’t post something new daily. Write more than one posts when you get time and then choose a publishing schedule which is realistic for the schedule you choose and which goes well with your audience as well.

Use the scheduling utilities in Wordpress or CMS for publishing the content consistently.

Social Media

Choose one or two best social media networks initially and start engaging with the audience by sharing your blog and posts. Social media can be overwhelming for driving the traffic of your blog. Start with 1 or 2 social networks and grow from there on.

Video

Video engages users more than anything. Your audience might feel all the text boring to read but videos and photos might help you get their attention. So posting videos, which are relevant to your blog posts every now and then is something all bloggers should do.

Challenges faced by bloggers

1. Categorizing the content on the blog:a. List the types of people whom you want to find your content.

b. Break down this list into simpler elements.

c. Then based on these two steps decide who would be looking for what and why?

Following these steps can definitely help a new blogger to develop his blog in an attractive way and existing bloggers can come up with increased audience by following these steps.
