5 Tips For Successful Blogging
Every blogger wants to be successful in his blogging career. Everyone dreams to be the next best blogger. Everyone wants to earn the most (A high amount) via blogging. Well to become successful, to be the best and to earn a good amount via blogging one has to follow some steps. Well these are not very hard steps, but very essential ones. Without following those it’s difficult for a blogger to be the best.
1.) Readers First, Money Second
Well this is the most important step one needs to follow. Most of the bloggers pay attention to money and neglect their readers. Its common sense, without readers how can one earn money? It’s IMPOSSIBLE! So readers first and then money. To get readers and retain them you need to write good content and value them by replying to their comments, awarding them backlinks and holding some contest for them to participate and win.
2.) Concentrate Seriously On SEO
Well you plant an Apple tree and without watering it or giving it necessary fertilizers can you expect any apples from it? It is not possible for an Apple tree to give apples without water and food. So can you expect popularizing of your posts without working for it? One can expect, but the expectations won’t fulfill. So concentrate on SEO. Always use proper titles for your posts, give the posts the proper descriptions and use proper keywords. This way your search traffic will increase and you will be on way to being a successful blogger.
3.) Socialize Your Site
Submit your best of best posts to various social bookmarking sites. Why only the best posts, why not all of my posts? Well if the same user submits many articles (links) of the same site there is a chance to get banned from that social bookmarking service and the charge will be spamming. To avoid this, try submitting only the best posts of yours. Also you can submit all of your posts, but randomize them with posts from other sites in between. This way you can be safe!
4.) Collect Your Blog Statistics And Analyze It
Collecting statistics of your blog is as necessary as writing a post and publishing it. When you won’t know how many users read your posts, visit your blog and what they like, etc. how will you improve? So collect stats, analyze it and become successful.
5.) Answer Your Readers / Commenter’s
When you publish a post in your blog there is always a bright chance that you will get comments on the post and many readers will ask you questions. So don’t leave the comments unanswered and thinking that other readers will answer them. Don’t have such an attitude. Always respond to the comments yourself.
Well you are now on the way to become a successful blogger! Enjoy successful blogging…

I agree with you Jai, continuity is a needed thing for a blog, unlike other websites which pull traffic because of its products or services, a blog pulls traffic because it is a source of news. So if your blog is not updated regularly, the traffic sure goes down because the reader gets bored with the same content

Would like to add one more point here. To be a successful blogger one needs money too.
Twitter: netchunks
says:
Actually I beg to differ with you..One does not need to have money to be a successful blogger. One needs to be determined and then he can earn a bit of money and then he can invest the earned money again to better his blogging. Yes, I am must say investment is needed for sure
yup..need to seriously learn about SEO….

Well I will never recommend to submit your own posts to Digg, stumble, etc.
from your own profiles….If your content is really rocking it will automatically get attention and there are cons of promoting only your stuff on these social sites, they are not meant for this.

Although I am bumping an old post, I am working on improving my blogging skills. I think most bloggers forget about #1. They are so focused on marketing, SEO, etc.; they forget the real reason they have a blog.
All of your tips are still true today.
