The Secret of Successful Blogs

Many times I get mails from readers/visitors of this blog as how to blog, make money, give tips for their blog and related topics.

It’s irritating to read such things when the blog has only 2 posts or 1 week old.

In this two-part series I’ll cover some tips for new bloggers/ wannabe bloggers to build a successful blog.

Wish I could give you the secret of successful blogs. But I can’t, even if I want to.

The secret is: There’s no secret

Cliché it might sound, but it’s the truth. How is it possible to tell the things that I’ve learnt in the past 2 years?

I was self taught. When I started, there was not as many blogs about blogging and related topics. I literally spend over 4-5 hours daily to learn what I need to know, read thousands of post in various forums, reading e-books and the important of all - kept blogging.

Please think twice about asking other bloggers about these things. They’re a busy lot juggling a lot of things and might not have the time and patience for your questions.

In the next article, we’ll see some pointers for new/yet-to-be bloggers to help get started.

Stay tuned and subscribe - if you don’t want to miss the article!

Yeah, nothing worthwhile in life comes easy. You need to work for it…only that some are easier than others.

hey, one doubt..
how do you classify a blog as successful or not.
I guess, you’d be jotting down the tips you learnt or got to know and not the secret of blog being “successful”.. aint it?? :|
anyways, already subscribed reader, so waiting…. :P

Don’t you think that Success is relative? So it’s not possible to pinpoint when a blog is successful. :D

There is no secret, bluediamond. It’s all hard work. Ok maybe Hard work is the secret! Wait for the next article and decide for yourself. :twisted:

My own blog is merely a week old.
Right now at this initial stage I am focussing more upon the CONTENT of my blog and also building a network of bloggers with similar area of interest.
Reading other blogs and learning the blogging system are my priorities.
Lets see how far i go………

I have been reading here for a while now and thought it would only be fair to register and contribute instead of being a silent reader. So – I am looking forward to be a full part of the community!

Take care!
