How to Succed by Blogging?


I know most of you really want to become a successful blogger.
You want your opinion and thoughts posted on your blogs will be reached by millions of internet users around the world.
You might not become a popular journalist, but you dream to become a popular blogger.

But soon as you realized how hard is maintaining a blog, you immediately surrendered and stopped blogging.
And then you immediately say that blogging is not meant for you.

Well, it’s true that it’s not really easy to blog. You can easily set-up a blog at the Blogger.Com. You can easily customize the theme of your blog. And you can even easily write a blogpost. But maintaining a blog is not really easy.

Why? Why is it not easy to maintain a blog?

Yes, it might be easy to maintain blog if you have the heart to do it.
How many bloggers created blogs and started blogging? There are tons of bloggers who are interested in blogging just in few days or even few months.
But, where are they now?

Some say, they failed to update their blog because they’re busy on their studies, work or any thing. Some will even say that they stopped blogging because they lost their interest in blogging.
But if we’ll examine what really are the reasons why they’re lost in the Blogosphere, we’ll learn that it’s not their
job , their studies or any thing in their life that caused them to stop blogging.
The very reason is that they don’t have the passion on blogging. They didn’t even believe that they can reach their blogging dreams.

Reach Your Dreams

For example, your dream is to become a popular blogger. Well, it’s really good to imagine yourself being popular because of your blog. To let you know, there are times that I am dreaming that I am Yuga; that my blog is already catering millions of visitors; that I am traveling around the world; and lot of dreams sprouted on my mind. But I can’t reach them if I will not try to reach them.

So, what should you do so that you’ll become popular blogger?

(1) Start Blogging

That’s really the first thing that you should do. If you still don’t have blog, then buy now a domain and webhosting services. I’m sure there are tons of cheap but reliable webhosting services that exist today.

If you have already your own domain, and webhosting account, then install Wordpress. I recommend, you to use the Wordpress blogging platform because you can easily add plugins and even choose themes for your blog from thousands of available themes online.
Once your blog is ready, then start writing blogposts.

(2) Don’t Stop Blogging

Just like when you’re climbing up a stair. You can’t reach the end of the stair if you’ll just start climbing but then when you reached the middle of the stair, you then quit and turn your back.
No! You will never reach your goal if you’ll do that. You really need to continue blogging. Give time, even just 1 hour, for blogging.

(3) Don’t Stop Learning

If you have free time, use it in digging information. Read books, magazines and even articles found on the internet. You need to fill your brain with knowledge because you can’t write quality contents for your blog if you don’t have enough knowledge on everything, especially to those related to your field. You can’t even share knowledge to your blog’s readers if you don’t have knowledge to be shared.

So, if you set a time for blogging, set also a time for digging information.

(4) Connect with People

Keep socializing with other people whether offline, online or mobile, especially those related to your field (blogging). This is one of the fastest way for you to gain popularity. You can introduce your blog to your friends and to those who will become your friends. And let them introduce you and your blog to their friends and to the friends of their friends.

(5) Believe it, You can do it

And I think, the most important thing that you should have is to believe in you. You may have your own blog; you may have enough knowledge; and you may have millions of friends out there; if you don’t believe yourself, then everything will end up nothing.

Don’t ever think that you can’t do it. Always think that you can, because the truth is you really can do everything and you can reach everything. But you must first believe yourself that you can.

Destined to Reach Your Dreams?

Now, let me tell you that I don’t really believe that those who reached their dreams are really destined to reach their dreams.

Reaching dreams really depends in you. I don’t believe that fate is there to push you up to reach the highest peak of your success. It is you who push your self up. It is you who bring your self to the highest place you want to be.

If you want to succeed in blogging, so do the things you need to do.
