How To Make Your Blog Popular - Part 1

By Olawale Daniel

Making a blog popular is every bloggers dream. It cannot be done overnight and I know it is not easy if you are new in the business but if you are hard working and are willing to learn and adapt, I can guarantee success my friend.

There are many ways to take your blog to the next level but always make sure you know what you are dealing with. I have seen people spamming the shit out of social bookmarking and networking sites such as digg, reddit, facebook and requesting people to vote for their links. Please do not do that. This is considered spam and it really sucks. But then again, reddit is very popular. If you have something awesome to share and it goes viral on reddit, you will get tons of traffic.

In the part 1 of this article, i'm going to list out some ways to make your blog popular.

Customize Your Blog Design

Well without a doubt, design matters. This is very important my friends and that is why I have listed it first. Every blog should have a unique design. People are attracted to something that is unique and interesting. When a person visits your blog, the design gives them the first impression and this determines the amount of time they spend browsing your blog. Now to be honest, if your blog has a crappy design, I am not going to visit it. Even if I visit it accidently, I might spend a few seconds before I leave and bam.

Look at this blog. How cool is it? I am sure you can setup something similar or decent. Practice makes perfect so keep tweaking and trying out new layout, design and navigation and focus on creating the best user experience for your readers. (You can contact me to design your blog).

Add Your Blog to Blog Communities

Blog communities are really popular for blogs. Other bloggers and web enthusiasts are constantly checking out these communities for networking and information. There are many communities you can submit your blog to but it’s better to stick with the ones which are popular.

Remember: When you follow a blog that you find interesting, and you contribute something nice through commenting on it, you are basically increasing your visibility in the community. A lot of people will check you out and also subscribe to your blog if you are good. Always try to participate in a network and engage in conversations. Whether you write a blog post or a comment, make sure it delivers some value to the community.

Write Tutorials and Pillar Articles

Now think about this, if you write an article about what happened on a certain day, the content is meant only for that day and with time it gets old. But, if you write a How-to Article or a tutorial that solves a problem, it stays there forever.

Let me explain. If you write something about “How to get rid of twitter spam or How to get loyal readers to your blog”, you know that you can use these tutorials whenever you want and they won’t get old because the same method would apply all the time. Lots of people will share it and bookmark it for future reference. Pillar articles are killers and you can easily write at least 5-6 a month.

Be A Guest Author On Popular Blogs

Most blogs you will come across these days accept guest posts. Popular blogs like problogger, ogbongeblog, johnchow just to name a few; they all give new bloggers a chance to get noticed through guest blogging. Now this is a great opportunity and shouldn’t be missed. You can’t just post anything you like but it should be related to the niche and you have to prove your worth. One blog post on some of these popular blogs can get you huge amount of traffic.

Writing guest posts is a truly amazing way to get noticed and drive traffic to your blog. Don’t forget the link juice you get and waves of new subscribers. And did i forget to say that we also accept guest posts? Yes we do! So you can as well contact us and send in your post.

Let me stop here for today so that you will have the time to experiment with them. Hope you learnt something from this post, i know some of you had already known this methods and have used them, but i tell you may not know what will be in the part 2 of this article. Which i'll be posting very soon, so keep a date with us. Dont forget to drop your comment.

The 40% Rule: The Basic Secret To Success

By Olawale Daniel
Image
You're capable of more than you think.-   fact. There is no deficiency of business books available a large portion of which claim to hold the key to progress. As a business book essayist myself, I'm not slanted to demonize any of these. Most offer helpful strategies that business visionaries can use to streamline their procedures and lift their execution. Maybe a couple, be that as it may, address the changeless truth about what isolates top entertainers from the rest. I'm discussing the general population who can accomplish more, push harder, and persevere through more than what we regularly accept to be conceivable. This uncommon quality passes by many names; coarseness, tirelessness, devotion, desire, yet the name that I think best depicts it is "the 40% rule." The way to mental sturdiness I grew up with the 40% rule, however I didn't understand it until the point that I read Jesse Itzler's book "Living With A SEAL." In it, Itzler portr...

Why Some Men Can't Grow Beards

By Olawale Daniel

Beards seem to be everywhere nowadays, but some men just can't grow them. Why not? What goes into growing a great beard? Beards rotate in and out of fashion on some unknowable cosmic schedule, but for many men it's a moot point. Not everyone can grow a beard, and there's not much that science can do about it. The admirably bewhiskered Jules Suvdaltsev has the story in today's DNews dispatch. Most people who find themselves thinking about the issue associate beards with testosterone levels, but that's only part of the story. Testosterone is part of a group of hormones called androgens, which regulate, among other things, male secondary cell characteristics. That covers physical attributes usually associated with men, but which are not directly involved in reproduction. Like beards. But testosterone levels alone don't determine beardiness. Years of research have more-or-less confirmed that a chemical called dihydrotesterone , or DHT, induces beard growth. DHT i...

WHY YOUR LANGUAGE IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS

By Olawale Daniel

Why Do Human Beings Speak So Many Languages? Language diversity has played a key role in shaping the history of our species, yet we know surprisingly little about the factors shaping this diversity The thatched roof held back the sun’s rays, but it could not keep the tropical heat at bay. As everyone at the research workshop headed outside for a break, small groups splintered off to gather in the shade of coconut trees and enjoy a breeze. I wandered from group to group, joining in the discussions. Each time, I noticed that the language of the conversation would change from an indigenous language to something they knew I could understand, Bislama or English. I was amazed by the ease with which the meeting’s participants switched between languages, but I was even more astonished by the number of different indigenous languages. Thirty people had gathered for the workshop on this island in the South Pacific, and all except for me came from the island, called Makelua, in the nation of Va...

It's tough to be a millennial in the present land market. Crippling student debt and  high world land costs have made it more difficult than any other time in recent memory to save for a down payment. Regardless of the possibility that you're fortunate to defeat the greater part of that and actually buy a home,you've got to take care of it. It's sufficient to influence you to ponder whether you surrendered leasing too early. Generally, millennials are not known to be top home DIYers. Indeed, as a group, they tend to timid far from genuine home maintenance, says Ed Padilla,the founder of the Association of Certified Handyman Professionals. They'll call somebody to settle the issue as opposed to prevent the issue, he says. Furthermore, better believe it, those expenses can rapidly increase. So now that you've have at last accomplished the American Dream, would you prefer not to modify your piggybank of hard-earned money? We suspected as muc...

Ten Recent Discoveries That Will Blow Your Mind

1.  A breakthrough study from the Institute of Crystallography in Italy has just confirmed that the image of the man on the Shroud of Turin is composed of real blood and in fact a microscopic analysis of blood particles reveals that the blood had to come from someone undergoing torture.  This just further confirms the possible authenticity of the Shroud  2.  Using a recently developed X-ray imaging technology, archaeologists were able to read the inside of a biblical scroll that was in such fragile condition that it could not be unrolled.  The results?  The current manuscripts we have of the book of Leviticus haven't changed in 2,000 years.  The Bible has been unaltered. 3.  Archaeologists have just discovered the location of the fishing village on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee where the Apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip lived.  A bathhouse was unearthed, as well as the remains of an ancient church that sat over the apost...

Bill Gates speech about Nigeria and how to improve Nigeria economy.

Your  Excellency Muhamadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Senator Bukola Saraki, Senate President; Honorable Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the House; Your Excellencies, executive governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Royal fathers; Distinguished ladies and gentlemen. And as you say in Nigeria, all other protocols observed. Thank you for welcoming me to Nigeria. I've been coming here regularly since 2006, and I've always felt welcome. Nigerians usually greet me warmly. The first time I met the Sultan of Sokoto, I was honored that he greeted me with the gift of a white horse. At some point during every visit, though, some brave person eventually asks me—very politely—"Why are you actually here?" It's an understandable question. Most American technology guys don't wander around Nigeria learning about its health system. But I think I have a good answer. Whe...
