How to be a successful Blogger

Three concepts you must understand for blogging success!

1. Content Creation
2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
3. Proper Marketing

Creating Content

Creating content for your blog is the most important part of being a successful blogger. It's funny because many people spend so much time looking for shortcuts or back doors when they could really be doing what is actually important; Creating content. Truth be told, there are no back doors. If you want to build a successful blog, you must create content. (image credit: adrian) What types of content should I create?

• Text
• Video
• Image

Create all three types of content. Hit the world wide web from ever angle and give yourself the best chance at being successful online. HINT: You may be surprised at actually how much traffic you will actually receive from Youtube... Then of course, perform internet marketing like you've never performed marketing before!

Understanding SEO

Understanding Search Engine Optimization is another major topic bloggers must research for success. For instance, do you know

• How google ranks pages?
• The importance of proper page titles?
• What an alt tag is?
• What anchor text is and how to use it properly?
• The importance of backlinks?
• The importance of internal links?

Do you even know what SEO is? Trust me ladies and gentleman, it's a huge part of being successful online and if you don't do your research, you won't be successful.

Marketing your work

Step number III to being successful online consists of proper internet marketing. Creating good content is great, but not if nobody is reading it. Your blog could be the best blog in the world, but if you're not marketing it, then who cares? What types of content should I market?

• Text
• Video
• Image

Sure enough, you should market basically everything. Everything you create should be somewhere, other than your blog. HINT: I like to go by the 1:1 ratio rule. If I put it on my website, I will put it on an article hosting, video hosting, and image hosting website also. For article submitting use,

• Ezine Articles
• Squidoo
• Hubpages
• Guest postings

For video submitting use,

• Youtube
• Live Video
• Revver

For image submitting use

• Flickr
• Image Shack
• Photobucket

It really doesn't matter how you market your work, as long as you market it and your marketing works. However, I will admit that I personally love using most of the websites above for marketing my blogs.
