You deserve some pieces of advice!

You can't just start blogging without been advised! No, I won't let that happen.

I have featured many bloggers to know the most mistakes that they made in their earliest years of blogging. The root of all the mistakes is traced to be: "not been advised"

Why would you now think I would let you go into blogging without giving you the gist?

Among the top pieces of advice that you may ever find are what I have given below. I don't want to force you to follow them; but I implore you, for they will make your blogging career sweeter than honey.

#1. Know your "why" of blogging

The number one reason why the successful bloggers are succeeding is that they know their aim of blogging, and they stick to it.

"Why do you want to blog?" This is the first question I ask people who come for blogging mentorship. Use this opportunity to answer that question too.

Knowing your "why" of blogging will serve as a guideline or watchword to your blogging career. You would be more focused on any dream you have for blogging... And this would make you a successful blogger, in no time.

#2. Build passion for blogging

I can't really say if I had a passion or not when I started blogging in 2015. I only woke up one day to discover that blogging has become part of me.

Families and friends discouraged me from blogging. But I didn't quit; my passion was stronger than their discouragements.

Even if you don't have the passion at the start, you can build it while you come up.

The point is that you need to have a passion for blogging. Your passion will help you make as much money as you can.

#3. Have more than enough patience

Remember that cliché: the patient dog eats the fattest bone? Yeah... That's how it is.

You need to be more patient, as a blogger. You need to persevere a lot.

Only the frustration from "not getting traffic" is enough to put a stop to blogging? (And which has, of course, put an end to people's career). Is it "before one makes money from blogging" that I should say? Or "little post engagement"?

You can blog for years without making a dime. Sorry about that!

But time heals all wounds. Only the patient bloggers make it to the top.
And believe me; once you start making money, you make it forever till you're tired to make more.

#4. Be consistence

Consistency is one of the keys to succeed in any business, be it offline or online.

You should be consistent in your blogging career. Schedule your time well, and plan ahead.
It's not necessary you update your blog daily. It can be once in a week. Just don't forget the rule of consistency.

Neil Patel of neilpatel.com said, “Consistency is one of the most important things that bloggers tend to forget. It’s much easier to lose your traffic than it is to build it up, so make sure you consistently blog”.

#5. Build relationships with your readers (and other bloggers, too)

This is called "smart blogging". It is one of the ways of the successful bloggers.

You should know who your favorite readers are, and what they do when they visit your blog. This will give you the insight of what you will be posting on your blog - for they are your unique readers.

Google search console (one of the tools that successful bloggers use) can help you with this.

Don't leave out other bloggers too. Interact with them. Join the community they are in. Let them feel your existence. But don't spam!

Not only these. Encourage your readers to follow you on social Medias, and follow them too. Be social and friendly to them. Build a positive relationship with them.

By doing this, you're building your trust in them. You will see the results later, and I'm sure you would thank me.

#6. Never make these mistakes

Nobody is above mistake, this true. But when a mistake is identified, it shouldn't be made anymore.
If you are already a fan of my blog, you should observe I interviewed 5 top bloggers to tell us their deadliest mistakes. Mistakes that almost led to their destructions.

But for their passion, they learned to overcome those mistakes. They are now top bloggers today... And tomorrow.

Not only this,

I also compiled 15 common mistakes newbie bloggers make. That makes it 20. You can avoid all these mistakes only when you know them, and that makes your blogging career very smooth.


#7. Reply to comments, even negative ones

One of the things that could make your new visitor a returning one is when you reply to his comments (as fast as possible).

It's pretty hard to get comments from a blog that's not popular yet. But when you start to get comments, always reply to them as fast as possible.

Sometimes you feel discouraged from what your people say, but I'm telling you; reply their comments in a way that you encourage yourself. Nothing good comes easy.

#8. Always ask questions – let Google be your best friend

You will pave the way to your own success when you don't keep silence at what you don't know.
Nobody taught me blogging physically. Questions were what I asked that bring me to this level.

Google was (and is still) my friend.

I understand some top bloggers don't attend to questions. They don't because there are so many dumb questions being asked. Questions you can ask on search engines like Google and get answers within a second, don't ask them. They are busy doing some other stuff.

By asking questions, you will learn more and become better at blogging.


#9. Help other people

Give away your knowledge. Never be afraid to showcase what you know, claiming it is a "secret". There's no secret in the world again, where there is unlimited access to the Internet.

Helps you render to people is part of building relationships. Whey they enjoy your help, they remember you - most especially, your blog.


#10. Have a side job

Yes! I advise you have a side job you do too; a side job that will not drive away your focus for blogging. A side job that will give you the opportunity to write and publish your blog posts.

Many successful bloggers who went into blogging without a side job (when they first started) had some foods in their cupboards, that was why they did not jump out hurriedly.

Before you start to make money from your blog, you have to be financially stable. You could also need some money to boost the success of your blog, and many other unforeseen circumstances.

Remember the point: have a side job that will give you time to update your blog.
