Hello! You are welcome, Today i would be writing an open message to all Upcoming Nigerian Bloggers, dont worry i would try to make it short as possible as i can.

Dear Nigerian Bloggers,
Who is a blogger?
A person who owns or manages a blog is called a blogger. This term is sometimes misspelled (or maybe ‘creatively spelled as bloger.

Blogging is becoming popular these days and it’s a way to publish your writing, share your ideas, connect with people and learn new things along the way.

Some Nigerian Bloggers are really getting this wrong! Ask most of them why they started blogging they will all say because they have passion for writing! Alas! How can that be!.

I would be taking my time to critically analyze some wrong doings of this novice and how thay can improve.

#1 Copying Other People's Post
Can you imaging you publishing the same post with other top blogs in your niche, how do you intend to grow when you are hiding under the umbrella of plagiarism? For you to surpass other blogs in the same niche with you, you need to publish unique post that cant be directly seen anywhere else.

Imagine those blogs you are copying from are also copying from other blogs, who will provide unique contents for readers to read?

If your Niche is 'News' you have more responsibilities as you need tobethe early news breaker. The moment you copied news from another website automatically marks your blog as an option to users 'cos you are providing an already provided contents. It wouldnt only chase users away it will also lower your search engine rank. Tongue

#2 Poor Design
Making your bloglook like other blogs is a turn down,want to know how?

Can you use a new social network that has exactly the same features like facebook? absolutely NO! you wouldnt want another 'cos you already have facebook and for a new social social network to drag your attention you require it to have all the features of facebook and some extra ordinary features. I think with that example you should grab my point Big Grin.

#3 Monetizing Too Early
hey dont quote me wrong, i didnt say making money with your blog is a bad idea but thinking of money too early is bad for the growth of your blog, relax and do the right thing, Money will surely come

Imagine! Just imagine a new blogger of 1 month old requesting for ads placement to generate income. Haba! Thats obviously a failure, it wont work that way!

Take some times to gently analyze your blog, publish lot of contents(unique posts not copy and paste) before you think of generating income with it.

My Dear Bloggers, i think you should have gained one or more ideas from my little message to you. Please i always want you to be successful in every area that is why i took my time to write this to you. Please i beg of you help pass this message to your friends, you can copy the url in your address bar then paste on your facebook status. Thanks.

The number 3 doesn't affect a new blog which is business based I guess.
