HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL BLOGGER - MAKE MONEY

1) Pick a good Domain NameHaving a short, witty domain name is easier for readers to remember. It also helps to buy your own domain name, instead of using something at blogspot.com or wordpress.com. It doesn’t cost much at all, looks much more professional, and is therefore worth the cost. Plus, advertisers tend to prefer domain names. Chances are, further down the line, you’d want your own domain name eventually. Transferring your blog to a new name can be difficult, tedious, and confusing for your readers. Getting one from the beginning avoids all of these issues.2) Customize Your LayoutDon’t just use a default layout. Tweak the design as much as you can, so that it reflects your personality. Make your own banner for the top (there are plenty of free, easy to use image editing programs and sites). Use colors and fonts that are easy for your visitors to read and pleasing to the eyes. (For example, red text on a bright blue background can hurt the eyes).3) Write quality contentWriting articles with substance attracts readers and keeps them coming back. Don’t just do giveaways and coupon lists. Pick a niche that is something you enjoy and something you know a lot about. The passion you have will find its way into your writing, make your blog posts enjoyable and appealing to readers.Advertiser’s like to see blogs with good content and lots of followers.
