5 Tips On What Makes A Good Blog

Presently, the number of blogs on the world wide web runs into millions and tens of thousands are being created to join these existing blogs daily. A lot of people create blogs with the hope of growing it into success and making money from it. The truth is blogging is not for everyone. It is not a must for you to go into blogging if you don't know what it takes to succeed in it. Believe, the competition is real. It has smoked out lots of new bloggers who cannot get enough traffic to make their blogs popular.

In this post, I will be sharing with you five things you need to be careful about if you really want to make a good blog that people will find useful.

Irrespective of your niche, the truth is you are not yet a successful blogger until you achieve the purpose for which that blog was created. From previous experiences, there are certain factors and steps you should look into if you want to make a good blog that lots of people benefit from.
bloggers blogging blog

Are you planning to create a blog soon? Do you manage a blog currently? Here are some basic tips on how to make a good blog.

1. Inspiring Blog Design
Your blog layout and colour combinations are the first things visitors notice when they land on your blog. And you as it is often said, 'the first impression matters'. You shouldn't drive away visitors that you have laboured to acquired through a shabby blog template or shouting colours. When customizing your blog design, remember it's about the visitors not you. If you don't have what it takes to edit your blog design, go online and search for beautifully styled blog themes which can be paid or hire a professional designer. You should try to avoid designs that would hamper your site SEO.

2. The Right Niche
It is good to have width but better to have depth. Over the years, blogger have realised that blogs with a defined theme and focus often do better than the general 'all purpose' ones. This is because Google gives more credibilty to them because they appear as authority blogs in their chosen niches.
However, not all niches are profitable. You should try to blend your passion with profitability while searching for a topic of discussion for your blog. Picking a topic you have scanty knowledge about many result in frustration that make many new bloggers quit as early as they start.

3. Regular Quality Content

The quality of the articles on your blog is its true value. Content and design are the main criteria used in judging whether a blog is good or bad. You should take your time to come up with useful articles so that visitors will find it necessary to subscribe to your future updates. Copying and publishing articles that people can get elsewhere won't take your blog anywhere. Aside quality, you should endeavour to publish regularly. If you can keep up rolling out quality posts regularly, your blog would soon hit the limelight.

4. Build Readers' Loyalty

To make your blog successful your writing style should connect with the audience. To achieve this, make sure your posts is directed at solving visitors problems. Study how established bloggers with lots of comments on their blog write. The way you conclude your posts should encourage readers to drop comments too. Creating a relationship with your audience is the surest way to build fans' loyalty so that can find it interesting to return to your blog over and over again. Set up social media profiles for your blog on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Google+. This has an additional benefit of increasing blog traffic.

5. Stand Out
Dare to be different. To stand out from the millions of blogs out there, there should something unique about your blog. Most successful blogs are known for one thing or the other. For some, it may be the blog design, while others may stand out with their content. You should think up ways to make your blog different. Ask yourself, what will people say is specific to my blog?

Success in blogging takes time, months and even years. The main point is to enjoy what you do so that you don't get easily frustrated out.

If you want to make your blog stand out from the crowd and get that traffic you have always desired, ensure you have all these points in place.

I wish you success in your blogging career!

Christianity EtcCreflo Dollar: The Devil Is Trying To Discredit Me Over Jet Campaign by ifyan(op): 11:22am On Apr 24, 2015
Story highlights

Creflo Dollar's ministry had posted a now-withdrawn request asking 200,000 people to chip in $300 each
Dollar preaches a prosperity gospel, which promises wealth to those who tithe 10% of their income to the church
The Atlanta-based pastor said the devil wants to stop him from traveling the world, spreading Christianity

Prosperity gospel pastor Creflo Dollar responded recently to critics of his campaign to buy a very pricey Gulfstream G650.


Dollar noted in a recent address to his congregants that the devil was attempting to discredit him in regards to his campaign seeking $300 from 200,000 people globally to help buy the luxury jet.

In a newly posted five minute clip ,the Atlanta-area pastor speaks to his followers at World Changers Church International, tackling his critics and allegations about tithes, his real name and reports alleging members of having to reveal their W2 statuses to come into the church's sanctuary.

"(The devil thinks) I got to discredit that man before he starts showing people Jesus!" Dollar preaches to loud applause.

"I'm on my sabbatical, and the enemy's trying to discredit me," Dollar stated.

Dollar is focused in the video on getting his point across and slams critics of his original request by stating to the people gathered, "I never one time came to you and asked you for a dime for this airplane, did I?"

But in March, Dollar did appeal in a video to "friends from around the world," soliciting donations to replace his current 1984 Gulfstream G-1159A. Because of two accidents that occurred in the 31-year-old plane, Dollar and his staff have been flying commercial.

"The (critics) don't know what we do. That's why they asked the question, what does a preacher need with an airplane? If you knew what we did, then you wouldn't ask that question," Dollar said. "Just because the world doesn't have it, doesn't mean that you can't."

In March, the ministry's desire to purchase a Gulfstream G650 airplane was met with criticism on social media and was the subject of nationwide media reports.

The furor came after a nearly six-minute video was uploaded on the Creflo Dollar Ministries website soliciting money for a Gulfstream G650, which sells for a reported $65 million.

The page featuring the video and information on the fundraiser has been taken down, but those wishing to donate are still able to do so on the church's gift page.

A Gulfstream G650 can fly 18 passengers and four crew members, according to gulfstream.com.

The jet comes with two Rolls-Royce engines, high-speed Internet and two multichannel satellites and allows for a four-and-a-half-hour commute from New York to Los Angeles.

"The G650 is the biggest, fastest, most luxurious, longest range and most technologically advanced jet -- by far," according to the site.The project wasn't limited to member donations, as the site stated that "we are asking members, partners and supporters of this ministry to assist us in acquiring a Gulfstream G650."

In the new video, Dollar claims the church has more than 3 million supporters worldwide who want him to come to where they are.

The pastor has said the two incidents involving his old plane -- including one in which a mechanical failure caused the jet to skid off a runway in London while his wife and their three daughters were aboard -- have shown him it was time to turn to God for a new airplane.

Prosperity gospel is a theology that promises wealth and health to those who tithe 10% of their income to the church.

BusinessHSBC Says To Consider Whether To Move Headquarters From Britain by ifyan(op): 11:12am On Apr 24, 2015
HSBC Holdings (HSBA.L), Europe's biggest bank, said it has started a review of whether to move its headquarters out of Britain following regulatory and structural changes in the industry.


Shareholders have urged the bank to consider moving its headquarters to Asia, probably back to Hong Kong, due to a hefty UK bank tax and other costs associated with being based in London.

"The board has therefore now asked management to commence work to look at where the best place is for HSBC to be headquartered in this new environment," said HSBC Chairman Douglas Flint on Friday.

"The question is a complex one and it is too soon to say how long this will take or what the conclusion will be; but the work is underway."

Reuters reported on Sunday that executives at HSBC and its rival Standard Chartered (STAN.L) were looking at quitting London for Asia because a big jump in Britain's bank levy made staying financially painful.

Investors told Reuters they wanted the banks to do a thorough analysis.

The decision for a formal review was taken by the board on Thursday after several investors raised the issue in recent meetings, a person familiar with the matter said.

Flint will tell shareholders at the bank's annual meeting later on Friday the bank needed to position itself in the best way to support the markets and customers "critical to our future success" and also needed to take into account the requirement to separate its British retail business from the rest of the group by 2019.

Some investors said that could be more significant than the bank levy and be the catalyst for the bank to move.

PoliticsSuper Rich Nigerians, Others Spend $900M On Property In UK by ifyan(op): 11:04am On Apr 24, 2015
By Andrew Essien

Wealthy Africans are investing in some of London's most upscale real estate properties with some reportedly spending as much as $37 million on houses alone.


These wealthy investors having a considerable impact on London's property market and they mainly come from just six countries of Nigeria, Ghana, Congo, Gabon, Cameroon and Senegal.

Property experts, Mayfair, Kensington and Chelsea say African investment in London is set to grow as the industry is now welcoming a new wave of African investors. Bimpe Nkontchou, a British-Nigerian wealth manager based in London says "the Africans who are coming into London now are Africans who themselves have worked for their money and this is bringing to London the best of the continent."

Nigerians, out of the lot, is believed to be splashing out the most cash when it comes to houses in the British capital, spending between $22 and $37 million on securing a property, according to luxury property agents Beauchamp Estates.

Their research shows that over the past three years, Africans have spent over $900 million on luxury residential property in London.

Many reasons have been adduced to this latest trend ranging from the search for 'safe haven' to educational.

Owning a home in post codes like W1 or W8 around the corner from Kensington Palace means more than having a place to just lay the head. Foreign investors see London as a "safe haven" for prime property investments with the city ranking as the second most important hub for ultra-high-net-worth homes.

These buildings are investments which are expected to gain even bigger value in the coming years.

African buyers see these houses as an intelligent investment as it is in London they want to send their children to school.

The Nigerian Embassy in London calculates that Nigerian nationals now spend over $446 million per year on fees, tutoring and accommodation at British schools and university.

"Education usually means putting the children on an international stage, and that's one reason why this is feeding into the demand for property in London" says Nkontchou.

With experts expecting this trend to continue, virtually all the transactions are for end use, not rental investment, which indicates that the African buyer market in London has significant room for growth.
