9 Blog Mistakes That Must Be Avoided

July 14, 2017
As we know, in this world law applies in pairs: day and night, male-female, joy-sad, and so forth. When this law we associate with the world of blogging, one example is there are successful bloggers, there is also the opposite. According to John Chow, this success is at least influenced by 9 errors in blogging.

Therefore, in my opinion, these 9 errors must be avoided if we want to become a successful blogger. What are the mistakes?

1. Not up to date blog

John Chow mentioned that blogs that are not updated are dead blogs. For example, someone who diligently post a few posts in one month. However, one month later the person does not up his datasya again. What's the solution?

Successful bloggers earning tens of thousands of dollars per month it recommends that we consistently up to date blog according to our ability. If we are able to post one post per day, we must commit to doing it per day. However, if we are only able to post one post per week, we have to commit to doing it every week.

2. Blogging is solely for money

When famous, the blog filled with ads and posts paid review without providing the information needed visitors. According Chow, blog visitors generally do not like with so many ads and writing paid review. The solution, we must put both types of monetization is proportional (balanced) so that our blog readers do not feel disturbed.

3. Hastily publish the writing

After typing a post, a blogger hastily pressed the publish button without rereading the page. John Chow suggests that we check at least two or three times the posts to publish in order to avoid typos, the flow of writing that does not flow between paragraphs, and broken links.

4. Do not enter personal opinion

According to Chow, a blog is not a newspaper or online magazine. Visitors will be interested to read if the article is the opinion of the blog manager.

5. Copy and paste other people's posts

Besides being unethical, this activity does not reflect the creativity and uniqueness of oneself. According to Chow, we can create the same writing with the topic of posting others. However, once again we must give our opinion in our own words.

6. Not reply to visitor comments

A blog is a means of two-way communication between the owner and the visitor. When blog visitors commented, Chow suggested "please answer them".

7. Do not give RSS Feed completely

Just give a summary of RSS feeds. John Chow's experience shows that after he has given his RSS Feed completely, his subscriber count has doubled.

8. Do not reach other blogs

According to Chow, do not reach this as do not comment on other blogs, do not give link exchange, do not want to love track back on other blog posts, and do not join the community of MyBlogLog other blogs that are as good as.

9. Write for search engines

Posts created are focused only on the top search engine rankings, not for visitors. As a result, the text is filled with excessive keyword overruns.

7 Habits of Successful Blogger

July 13, 2017
Being a successful blogger is our desire as a novice blogger. No wonder we often do tips blogging from the successful bloggers in or outside the country. In addition to these tips, I think, we can also learn from their habits.

What are the habits of these bloggers in achieving success? According to John Chow in his ebook "Make Money Online With John Chow dot Com," there are at least 7 habits done by successful bloggers, namely:

1. Publish posts consistently

Consistent is fixed. In blogging, consistent understanding can be interpreted regularly publish posting. When is the time? It depends on the situation and condition of the blogger himself. It can post one post daily, 3 posts per week, 1 post per week, or more than one post per day.

Blogging on preferred topics will help in developing blogs in the long term. For example, you are choosing a car topic for liking car related things. Thus, you will be happy to write the topic in the long run.

3. Interact with readers

What does a blog mean without the reader? Therefore, interacting with the reader helps you develop your blog. This form of interaction includes answering comments, receiving criticism, replying to email readers, and visiting the blog visitors.

4. Do not stingy give a link

A good post generally comes from one's own experience and / or reference (someone else's). Although the text is mostly derived from the experience itself, it would be better if the post is equipped with data or facts from other people's posts. In addition, this habit helps visitors deepen topics and build cooperation with bloggers that you refer to in your writing.

5. Know her image

Amid millions of bloggers around the world, successful bloggers know to image themselves positively. This imagery can be done by not copying and pasting other people's posts, honest, copyright, and friends with good bloggers too. It is relatively non-instantaneous, but in the long run it will help you greatly if you do it.

6. Write well

Writing posts is the backbone in developing blogs in the long run. Therefore, successful bloggers write the best possible by paying attention to the usability, grammar, flow of writing, the effectiveness of the sentence, and the coherence of sentences or paragraphs.

7. Read other blogs that interest him

Successful bloggers do not read their blogs, but they also read other people's blogs. This can be a famous blog or blog that has not been famous. This reading indication is done by visiting directly or becoming a subscriber of the blog's RSS feed. The purpose of reading is one of them as a continuous learning effort.

One way to become a successful blogger is to imitate good habits made by successful bloggers. The seven habits I described above can be your initial reference to become a successful blogger.

  2. Free blogs are easier to use. We do not need a headache to understand what is HTML and CSS. Free blog providers generally have packed it in a format that is as easy as possible, so we live klak-click only. Compare when we create a website, of course we must understand well HTML and CSS.
  3. Because it is easy to use, blogs can be updated daily. For example, we can post our posts every time the origin of internet connection smoothly.
  4. Blog allows blog owners and visitors to communicate with each other either through comments or twitter.

Videos convey a lot more within few words than long articles. A video plus an animated one? It is just a surplus to your business.  Also, because videos are more likely to get viral than the articles, therefore it will get more exposure and indeed more clients.
