There are super bloggers online , those rare individuals who get from 5,000 to 30,000 visitors each week and who are in the enviable position of earning a living from their Blogs. Sounds like nice work if you can get it.
There are some well known bloggers in the industry that do things in a certain way. If one can work out what they do, and some of their way, then there is a chance to reproduce their success. At least that is the theory.
Many years ago I worked in a lab for a plastic chemical company. Part of my job was to reverse engineer our competitors products. Reverse engineer means you have a finished product in front of you, that has great qualities and benefits, and you wish to produce the same. But you don’t know how yet. Its a bit like working backwards. This is what successful bloggers online offer us. They are nicely operating a business model online that is already working. Now how can some of their methods work for us?
After distilling and becoming aware of certain skills all super bloggers have, a distinct mosaic of their methods starts to emerge. Here it is.
Writing Ability. Expressing thoughts in clear simple English is a skill they all have. Great bloggers are direct with their Blogs. You don’t have to be Shakespeare but you need the ability to express yourself clearly.
Copywriting. Copywriting is a skill of writing where, as you are reading the text, you begin to experience the feelings and desires of the blogger. Good bloggers are good copywriters.
HTML. A good, decent , working understanding of HTML code. Often changes need to be made quickly to a Blog, and you cant afford to go and pay someone all the time as it will cost you a small fortune. Do most of the Blog changes yourself. It is cheaper and faster.
Wordpress. Lets face it Wordpress is winning the blogging battle. A good working knowledge of Wordpress is essential.
Rss Feeds. Know how to optimize RSS feeds so your information is spread all over the net. Its a great method for getting the word out about you Blog.
Link Ability. How to get links in an organic way so search engines favor and not penalize. Every link left on the web is another potential for some visitor to find you.
Fresh Content. Know when and how, to come up with fresh content on a regular basis. Hey you want readers to come back? Well give them good information to came back for, adding value is another way to put it.
Comments. Write constructive comments on other peoples Blogs. Try to add value to the comment discussion with your entry. Yet another way to get a backlink to your site.
Monetization Strategy. Be aware of how to make money from a Blog. There are banners, affiliate links, Adsense and many other ways and some methods work better than others.
Ongoing Blog Education. There is a successful blogger giving seminars all around the country who invested over $125,000 in his personal development education. He has sold millions of dollars of product online. All self made successful people invest heavily in their education.
Many bloggers online today wish to be super bloggers. An awareness of the strengths and methods of professional bloggers is a big help. The pros have methods that the average blogger does not have.
