Blogger
Do you want to become the next blogging star in
your niche?
Do you have a dream of becoming an Authority
Blogger?
If yes, this post is for you.
Becoming an authority blogger is usually the
dream of most bloggers, especially new bloggers
that are just getting started in the blogging
business.
I have a couple of top bloggers and great guys
that I also look up to just like a bunch of bloggers
too look up to me and they also dream of being
bigger someday. I know you probably have an
endless list of bloggers that inspire you too.
I know you will love to become the next blogging
star in your niche, but my question is do you
know what it takes to reach that level of authority?
I guess NO! But don’t worry, because today, I am
going to handover to you the working secrets of
becoming a successful blogger.
I will advice you to read through every line of this
post and do away with all forms of distractions
because I believe this article will open your eyes
and push you to greater heights in your blogging
career.
That said; here are the 7 Strategies that will help
you become a Successful Blogger.
“Content is king!”
Yeah…. Content is indeed king! This is the basic
truth about blogging and content marketing. If
your contents suck, you suck!
There is no short cut to becoming a successful
blogger without creating quality and useful
contents for your readers . Your readers are
coming to your blog to read your articles and the
only thing that will determine if they will still
come back is still your articles.
There is no way to become an authority blogger
in any niche without providing quality contents
that’s solves peoples problem or educate them.
Just take a look at the top bloggers in your niche;
you will discover that quality contents are not
missing on their blogs.
I know there has been a lot of fuss about guest
blogging in recent times, but I still have a strong
believe in the power of guest blogging.
Guest blogging is a great way to build up your
profile in your niche. Apart from the credibility
that guest blogging adds to your online profile,
guest blogging is also a means for showcasing
your expertise to wide range of audience whom
might have heard of you before and this is surely
one thing you need if you want to become a
successful blogger.
Another great perk of guest blogging is traffic.
Traffic? Yea, traffic.
Guest blogging is a great way to drive FREE
targetted traffic to your own blog. A lot of top
bloggers like Onibalusi Bamidele, Danny Iny and
the likes have built great blogs and brand for
themselve by harnessing the power of guest
blogging.
If you really want to your name to get know
quickly, guest blogging is one strategy that I will
recommend you try out.
There is a popular adage that says ‘show me your
friends and I will tell you who you are”. There is
another version that says “Birds of the same
feather flocks together”.
This means that your association somehow
determines the kind of respect you get. Imagine
me being friends with President Barack Obama; I
know everyone will surely treat me differently
including you!
Networking with other top bloggers is quite
simpler than it used to look. Most authority
bloggers in your niche will surely be on popular
social media sites like facebook, Twitter and
Google plus.
You should find the top bloggers in your niche on
this patform and add them as friends, follow them
& circle them. Comment on their updates, ask
them questions and interact with them.
By doing this, their followers will start noticing
you, and these Top bloggers too will start noticing
you.
Regular commenting on top blogs in your niche is
also a great way to connect with authority
bloggers and create awareness about you and
your blog.
Believe me, linking out to authority sites works
like magic!
Linking out to other top blogs in your niche
increases your credibility and it proves to your
readers that you are connected to the industry
experts and you know what is going on in your
niche.
Some readers will even begin to see you as
friends or colleagues of these top bloggers just
because you link to them.
Apart from the credibility benefits, linking out to
other relevant articles will also help your readers
to understand the topic you are teaching very
well, linking out will improve their knowledge
about the subject matter and they will be greatful
to you for it.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you should
know that I run series of probloggers interviews
on this blog which I call the “ Expert chat section ”.
Running your niche expert interviews on your blog
is a great way to build up your authority fast and
also your relationship with other authorities in
your industry.
I have become a bit colser and familiar with a lot
of great bloggers from around the world as a
result of the interview series that I run on this
blog.
As a result of interview authority bloggers, I have
been able to get a bunch of new readers and
followers to my blog. If you want to become an
authority in your niche, I will recommend you
create an interview section on your blog and start
pitching Experts in your niche for the interviews.
Have you seen any authority blog with an Ugly
design?
What do you think of my blog design? Isn’t it
cool?
You see, people of nowadays are very sensitive
and your blog design and branding determines to
some extent how serious they will take you.
If you own a blog with an ugly design with no
logo, then you are sending a negative signal to
your readers. Take a few minutes to study those
authority blogs design and try to see how they
arrange things and brand themselves.
Authority bloggers know the importance of good
design and branding and a lot of them have paid
thousands of dollars to developers and graphics
designs who helped them build unique designs
and graphics for their blogs. You don’t have to
spend thousands like them; you can get quality
designs at cheap prices from Studiopress themes.
So, if you are dreaming of becoming a successful
blogger, you should pay attention to your blog
design and branding.
Case studies have proven itself to be a no-fail
strategy for building up authority as a blogger in
any niche.
Case study is all about trying something out,
disectting a strategy or performing an experiment
that will interest most people in your niche and
then share your findings with your readers!
I have seen a couple of bloggers who have built
6-figure income blog off case studies. If you want
quick fame and success in your niche, writing
case studies post is a sure strategy to
immplement.
Becoming an authority blogger does not happen
overnight, it involves a great deal of hardwork,
patience and continuos learning!
A lot of people have started from the bottom and
rose to the top, if they can do it, you too can do
it!
