The thing that you have to accept is that to have a blog is easy and simple it's not rocket science, everyone could have a blog, even your grandma! What l mean by telling you that? You can have a blog with your personal hobbies, your personal interests and connect with the world from there like having a Facebook account or a Facebook page! Is it simple? Yes it is.
But now, if you already have a blog and you already have made your first posts, but still you are having any results, then two things are happening. Either your blog is left and dumped, you never make a post or promote it, either you are sweating to bring results 16 hours a day but everything seems to be overwhelming, nothing make sense and you are so frustrated that you want to quit and do something real. Something that brings results, like to get a J.O.B.
Calm up, it's not so difficult. l give you a rule of thumb. In order your blog to be a success, and to survive and thrive in the Internet ocean, you need to do just two things, daily. You have to do them daily. That is the secret of every big hit, persistence.
1. Blog daily, at least one hour per day.
2. Promote your blog, at least two hours per day.
That is all! Just three hours per day blogging and you will start to see some results. However if you would like to have mores rapid results, take more action, actually take massive action to see massive results.
And how long do you have to do this? is it enough to start blogging for a week? nop, for a month? nop. Do it consistently for a 100 days , if you are consistent to your daily task, then you will be getting better and better every day and will see some results.
How to promote your blog
1. Social Media use Facebook and twitter to post some blog posts you have there. The magic words is massive exposure. Try to have massive exposure by word of mouth, let your friends involve in this and post comment on your blog.
2. Link Exchange. Find a buddy that has also a blog and mutual agree to exchange content every day. You need to do it on a daily basis.
3. Do it interactive. As l said above do it interactive, let the viral marketing work. Feel free to invite your friends to interact with your blog. Make posts, comments etc. That means that many other people can write on your blog. That will bring more links, more good content and higher ranking on the search engines.
4. Use stickers, offline media, drop cards and write your blog address everywhere! Yes everywhere! You just need massive exposure!
5. Make more blog posts! Yes this is true, by making more posts we have better chances to promote our blog through quality content. The visitors will stay longer and if your content is good then they will use it to their blogs, suggest it to other people and even buy if you sell something!
I think that these 5 steps are enough for a newbie blogger. There are very simple steps and you can add them on your daily routine.
