Top 5 Secrets of The Most Successful Blogs

When I started blogging, I noticed that only a small number of blogs are truly known in each industry, as an example of this we have engadget and techcrunch for the tech/gadget industry, and the same happens with other niches. These sites are valuable sources of information for thousands of readers. But how are these amazing money making machines managed? Well, here are some of the best secrets of these giants, learn them well because these points can change your future. Here are the top 5 secrets of the most successful blogs.

1 Choose a profitable market. or industry, what I´m trying to tell you here is that you don´t have to write a blog about the same thing other 1,000 are writing about, be creative and do research there are still some niches unexplored or with few players. If you are going to play in a crowded industry with thousands of blogs, add your own personal style, give your readers a bonus and add to your blog an extra value, combine topics but blend them.

2. Provide high quality content. write timeless content but also cover the current events and news. Timeless content is the one that never changes, this kind of information can be read in the future and the results will be the same. But your readers are also looking for current information, news and trends. Remember that blogs are like magazines and journals, this is why your readers visit your blog each day.

3. Update daily. This is maybe one of the most common tips in the blogging world and that is because it´s true, if you read my previous post: “how often should you update your blog?” you can find some tips that can help you with this. All successful blogs are updated frequently with fresh news about their industry. If you want to become a winner in this business you´ll have to play by the rules, and believe me , this is a very fast business.

4. Interact with your readers. As I said in other posts, that’s what this medium is all about. It is about relations, it is a social thing, your readers are the most valuable asset of your blog, without them you’re nothing. You’re giving them information, but you can also learn a lot of thing from them, read their comments and answer them. Let them feel that you care. A good strategy to increase loyalty and to build a solid relation with your readers is to make contests. They want to be part of your blog.

5. Be creative. Use visual media like graphics and images. People hate boring blogs, and a good way to create a nice environment and a comfortable space is by adding visual resources. If you have a very good article about a new cell phone , your reader will want to see how this new gadget looks like and if they don’t find it in your blog they will look for it in other places.

And as a additional tip 6. Interview industry experts, this is a very good way to drive traffic to your blog. Nothing speaks with more authority than an interview with an expert. This is an essential reason why so many people return to the most popular blogs over and over again. Another great secret has been posted here. I’m sure there are other important things to consider, if you’ve noticed another strategy used by successful blogs please let us know in your comments.
