Creating a Popular Blog

We all want to make money, and if you want to make money through you blog, you will have to create a popular blog. You will have bigger chances of monetizing your blog if it receives a good flow of traffic, that is a steady stream of visitors and readers. Because of this, making your blog popular and growing readership should be one of your primary concerns.

There are many ways to make your blog more popular. You should always write about something that interests you, and that will interest others. This way, you will be more inspired to update your blog regularly since you won’t find it too tedious and obligatory. As in everything, it is important to find pleasure in what you do. It is also important to consider your target audience. Who are you appealing to? Then try to pretend to talk to a certain person from that demographic, zeroing in on a certain person will make it easier to “talk” to someone.

One of the great things about blogging is that you do not have to be a professional writer to have a popular blog. If your are a frustrated writer, like moi, it’s nirvana! It is a place to let your uber amateur inner writer run amok. All you have to do is to follow common grammatical rules and at least be able to put together coherent sentences, but you do not have to be a highly skilled writer. Remember, your posts should be easy and pleasurable to read in order to hook your readers. Blog readers are looking for interesting, relevant topics to read, not the mind boggling musings of a scholar.

Make sure what you write is appealing, edgy, or even controversial. Popular blogs are never boring and should enrich your reader’s lives either through information or entertainment.
