7 Useful Blogging Tips I Wish I Knew Earlier
Unless you’re
already a celebrity, there’s no such thing as over-night blog success. To build
a successful blog, you need to put in lots of effort and work before reaping
the reward. On the other hand, learning more about blogging and reading in that
field will definitely help you get there faster. Below is a list of tips to
help you build the successful blog you’re dreaming of.
#1. FREQUENCY.
Although there’s
no right answer to « how often should I publish ? », it’s still important to
post as often as you can and often enough to keep your feed fresh. This way,
you’ll keep your readers interested enough to check back for new information
and new content. The bottom line is, the more consisting the blogging, the
stronger the relationship with its audience.
#2. The Right Length For Your Blog Posts.
While Google
prefers longer content of an average of 1,140 words, posts between 600 and
1,000 words tend to be shared more on social media and if you want to trigger
more interaction with your readers and more comments a post under 400 words
will do.
#3. Reliable Sources.
You don’t have
to know everything, and anyway, readers consider content as being more credible
when expert opinions and researches are cited.
#4. The Right Social Media Platforms.
It’s
time-consuming and often costly to automate content sharing and to keep a
strong presence on every social, that’s why you need to choose the platforms
your readers are most present in.
#5. A Privacy Policy.
This is a
“requirement” for Adsense publishers, and Google rewards those who have a
privacy policy and punishes those who don’t by trimming their earnings. You’ll
notice an increase in your earnings once you add a privacy policy to your blog.
#6. Ad Placement.
The main three
highest-earning ads placement is within the content, right below the navigation
menu and in the sidebar, and while you need the money to pay your bills, you
still want to make the blog as user-friendly as possible. You can try different
placement for an ad and see the effect on your income until you find the right
placement that works for your blog while still being user-friendly.
#7. Link Google Analytics To Adsense.
By integrating
your Adsense data, you provide webmasters with a wealth of information about
earnings. That way you’ll be able to see which articles are making the most
money and what sites send the most traffic, and a lot more.
More Tips. Social Timing
Timing is
important for maximum impact. When you share can be as important as what and
where. If your audience is in the United States, the Central and Eastern Time
zones will account for over 80% of the population. Publishing at 9 pm in Los
Angeles, means it’s midnight on the East Coast. You’ll be excluding a huge
amount of potential readers. Depending on the social media you’re using to
share your post, here are some of the best times to post:
