Blogging is a way to share knowledge and make good amount of money but if you are thinking of various ways to make your blog stand out from this huge crowd then you must have patience and determination to set your goals in a step by step sequence.
Useless bloggers are those who think of achieving their dreams.They just THINK AND DONT IMPLEMENT!
Here are some of my points which builts a useless blogger :
1. Buy traffic - Buying traffic shows the incapability of the blogger.Though some web services provide targeted traffic by making a hole in your pocket,but these traffic doesn’t stay for long.It just shows your potential as a blogger if you are unable to drive traffic from your own brain/ideas.Better build a community.
2. Duplicate content - Copying various content from competitor or any infamous blog and going with private label rights article won’t help you much.They will only help you lower your blog’s ranking.
3. Writing articles for social sites - Loads of useless bloggers try to make articles for social sites like Digg.(Many Digg users love to digg humor and weird Internet related articles).Just avoid writing for social sites,write for people and search engine.But do submit your blog post to digg and other social sites.Don’t write specifically for digg users.
4. Join traffic exchange program - Sites like sitehoppin is the best example for traffic exchange program.If you visit 10 websites then you will get 1 hit back to your website.These programs not only provide useless traffic but also waste your time.I admit that I was a victim of this!
5. Fake your readers - Showing false blog stats and unbelievable monthly earning to your readers might get you fame but you can’t hide the truth from yourself.Just stop faking yourself and other readers.Be frank and share your knowledge.
6. Set no Goals - Writing content won’t help you anymore unless you have some goals.I have set my monthly Goals here.Start setting easy goals per month and as time progresses,try to achieve bigger goals.Don’t accept to reach heights in just few days/months.
7. Useless advertising - Following all these 6 things and going with expensive advertising is the last thing you don’t want to do.
Do you follow any of these ?
