Five Secrets of the Most Successful Blogs

You may be a talented writer, gifted with wit and a flair for putting words together, and yet, your blog may not be pulling in traffic commensurate with the level of talent that you have. Well, this is because talent is not quite enough to make you succeed in the world of writing online.

I will give you some dirty secrets that have been used by some of the most popular, and therefore most successful blogs on the internet.

1. Write Useful Content: People come to search engines like google seeking for specific information. In many cases they want to know how to do things. This may range from writing a good CV, to learning to cook certain dishes. Others want information on how to start blogs, etc. This brings us to the second point.

2. Diversify Your Content: The best blogs in the world often have sections that cater to the particular tastes of its various readers. This means having a Politics Section, Sports Section, Business Section, Romance Section, etc.

3. Allow content from guest writers and readers. Especially since you cannot possibly be an expert in all fields and sections that your readers want to read, it is important that other writers come in to do their part. They will come in with their own expertise, style of writing, and sometimes Political Bias.

4. Sensationalism: If your writing is strictly honorable then I am afraid you may not go very far with writing online. You see, most internet users are not very bright and so not only are they gullible, they are actually looking for outlandish reporting to read. They want scandals: write about politicians and certificate scandals, write about Religious Leaders and sex. They want to read about impossible things like two-headed snakes, or snakes that swallow men, or birds that turn to women. Leave the comments section open for readers to air their views. This may result in them fighting one another, but for you it simply means a rise in traffic.

5. Paid Advertorials: Politicians often use popular bloggers to reach out to the youth. This is usually in the form of paid editorials. They are cleverly written endorsements of political parties and political figures. The reader may not know that the articles are sponsored, they may think they are 'news' articles, just because the titles say 'Ike Pius buys Okada for 30 Youth in Imo State' or 'Ike Pius Builds School for Stubborn Children.'

Election Season is Reaping Season. Don't be left out.
