4 Most Asked Blogging Questions + Answers by Nobody: 9:20am On Aug 21, 2016
There are lots of questions bloggers most especially newbie asks when it comes to blogging but i have made deep and extensive research in which i found out the 4 MAJOR AND MOST ASKED QUESTIONS.
below are the questions and their answers.
.
.
.
.
.
#1 Blogging Platform - You hear stuff like 'Don't use blogger, its not good! Wordpress is the best! And another time, someone else go say 'Wordpress will give you headaches, use blogger!' | This made people to ask that which blogging platform is the best?
Although Blogger and Wordpress are not the only blogging platform, but they are the major two big fishes. My answer as to which one you should use is; It depends on yourself.
- Ready to pay for host money, Have time to secure your Blog, Can you battle site attacks? Do you have a PC and most of the time connected, then Use Wordpress!
- Unsure of financial status, wants your site to be well-secured even if you are sleeping and on long vacation? Do not have access to PC always, use Blogger!

(Note - Those are just few and not all reasons to choose a platform, it all boils down to your choice.)
.
.
.
#2 Driving Traffic - Even someone that has a million pageviews still want more traffic! The No #2 question is often asked by those who wants to increase their blog's traffic. Although there are lots of ways in which you can increase your blog's traffic (i published 5 ways on my blog), but i will streamline 3 ways for you .
They are; Social Network Sharing, Guest Post, and Blog Commenting.
.
.
.
#3 Search engine optimization - SEO starts with your blog's template and thats why i ensure the template i design for clients is seo-optimized. After your template, then your blog's meta description and title. Then it goes on to your Post title and Post Body.
That of Post body includes first paragraph, image alt, and headings. I hope to write a very detailed ebook on seo for beginner in the future.
.
.
.
#4 Blog's Monetization - I sometimes shake my head for those who think Adsense is the only way they can make money via their blog. I blog for more than 3years without using adsense on my blog, yet i earns money. Blog's Monetization includes Offering services, Affliate marketing, consultation, advertising, and e.t.c
I'll write more about No #4 very soon my my tech blog. You can subscribe via mail so as to know when its out.

Many bloggers have been so engrossed in the AdSense \'craze\',
every new blogger looking for fast ways to get a Google AdSense
account. Some go to the extent of buying already created
accounts, most of which don\'t come cheap. A USA adsense can
cost as high as 15,000 naira ($50), while a Nigerian AdSense
account can cost up to 40,000 naira ($120).
.
Have you paused to ask yourself why these people decided to sell
their accounts? Well, most of them sell it off because they have
been unable to earn well from the program. Some people decided
to use Content.ad and even jumia affiliate programs all in the name
of earning from their blog traffic. The painful thing is MOST of
these blogs don\'t have enough traffic to generate earnings.
.
I remember earning just $2.35 with a content.ad account before I
decided to ditch affiliate programs and create my own affiliate.
.
Ever wondered why Google introduced \'Premium AdSense\'
publishing? its in a bid to make the top blogs continue using the
program as the normal adsense CPC is very low and most of the
top blogs had started using their own native ads which were
sourced themselves.
.
My talk is becoming too much right? let\\\'s get down to
business.
.
HOW TO EARN WITH YOUR BLOG WITHOUT AN AFFILIATE
PROGRAM.
.
First you need to have a traffic of at least 100 page views per day
to effectively use this trick.
if you don\'t have up to 100 page views daily then you should just
stop reading here. But with determination you can continue
reading.
.
You also need to know how to market your blog to prospective
customers/advertisers.
.
THINGS CLIENTS WANT TO HEAR...
1. Number of Daily views: You have to be able to tell them
categorically and also provide evidence to whatever claim you
have. Also tell them the Average monthly views, I.e. if you have
100 daily views then your monthly views would be 100×30=3000
views monthly.
.
2. Your target audience: Who are your readers? who are the people
who visit your blog, are they majorly male or female, what is their
age range, what kind of devices do they use, which regions do
they visit from. These and many more must be answered and
thanks to Google analytics you can get these answers, screen grab
them and include in your proposals.
.
3. How will your readers influence their product sales/publicity.
.
4. How do you plan to make their ads more effective: You can
include special sponsored posts, Facebook posts or Twitter trends
to enhance their products.
.
5. Apart from improving their sales or brand image what other
benefits do they get from advertising on your blog: You can give a
two day free extension.
.
6. Cost: Now this is where most bloggers get it wrong, you cannot
start billing your clients huge amounts. You need to first create
brand loyalty, I mean let them feel at home with you first. I
recommend that you charge 2 naira per impression.
2 × 100= N200 daily
200 × 7 = N1,400 weekly
1,400 × 4 = N5,600 monthly.
5,600 naira monthly! this covers your data subscription and you\'ll
be able to buy a shirt or two.
.
Advice: Invest back in your blog use about 2k from each client to
advertise your blog, you are left with 3,600 from each client.
Assuming you get three clients monthly that\'s 3,600 × 3=
10,800...
Ghen ghen, that\'s a whooping 10,800 in your pocket.
.
You can also partner with other bloggers who update their blog
well and are in the same niche to post ads.
.
.
NOTE:
I HAVE A \'KICK ASS\' PROPOSAL TEMPLATE THAT WILL MAKE
ANYBODY WANT TO ADVERTISE ON YOUR BLOG AND I AM
WILLING TO SELL FOR 1,000 NAIRA. IF YOU ARE REGISTERED ON

@ OP, it's so very obvious that you're a Blogger fan. And it's understandable since your blog runs on Blogger.

Well, let me clear some possible misconceptions you created about WordPress.

First, Wordpress is secure! The only thing is that you handle the security aspect yourself. Yes, some sites get hacked, but by registering your site with a reputable, security-alert host, by installing necessary hacker-proof plugins, by updating your themes and plugins promptly, and by using a secure password, you'd be absolutely fine.

Secondly, get it clearly that one doesn't need need have a PC to to WordPress. With the WordPress official app, you can update your blog on the go.The app is available on iOS and Android app stores.

How much have you paid for visiting a site? Bunch of foolish people always looking for free things but wanting quality things. If you need quality things, then pay to visit a site that offers such. I have been seeing people complain about Nigerian bloggers, atleast they tried to put up something while some foolish ones do not want to appreciate their efforts. Have you paid the bloggers before?

Thanks for the contribution bro, am glad for your highlighting your points in a mature way *gives an e-hug*. The thing is; i might be on blogger fan but i do not detest Wordpress, i also liked it (i stated this in one of my blog posts).
But am usually straightforward when it comes to telling the truth. Wordpress is great and i hope to also be on it sooner or later but it is not for everybody. I had experienced like two persons who had Used Wordpress for a long time and still come back to the Blogger Platform talkless of some experience from e-comments.
There are certain things to consider before choosing a blogging platform and thats why i said it all boils down to the owner's choice.
