Pro Blogging Tips 1: Learn The Basics FIRST
My teacher once said this to our class that make your plane take off from the ground to the sky and not vice versa. And that’s the simple law that applies here. You want traffic, but you have no passion for blogging.
You want money, but you aren’t posting consistently. That’s not what you should be doing. Get the basics first, then move onto the big things and big goals. So spend time learning about SEO, email marketing, increasing the quality of your posts and so on. Strengthen your foundation first.
Pro Blogging Tips 2: Passion And Patience Is Important For Successful Blogging

If you want to make money blogging, you are appreciated. But remember, before that you will have to undergo hardships as well. I hope you are getting my point.
Anyways, if you want some creative ideas to monetize your blog as a beginner, then check out this amazing guide.
Pro Blogging Tips 3: Promote Online (HINT: In Communities)
Do you know where your targeted audience hangs out frequently? If not, then let me tell you that you are missing out on a GREAT opportunity. If you assess where your audience lies most of the time, you will be able to build your community a lot faster.
Your audience could probably be hanging out on Facebook, Reddit or maybe Quora. This strategy could be solid. The only thing you need to know is that dropping links here and there is NOT ENOUGH.
You need to put in efforts while you prepare a post. Become an active member, participate in forums and you are good to go.
Pro Blogging Tips 4: Headline’s Impression Matters
The more effective your headline is, the more traction you are likely gonna generate with better CTR. Make your titles sound sensible. It should be reader friendly as well as SEO friendly. Frontload your title with keywords in a genuine manner.
Pro Blogging Tips 5: Plan Ahead
How sad it is to stare at a blank page. Isn’t that true? Therefore make sure you know the topic beforehand. Not just the topic is important, but also conduct the research before you sit down to write your blog post.
And there are a few more pre-writing activities to do. You need to plan ahead. And hence, I am giving you a few questions that you must answer even before you start writing your post.
- For whom am I writing this article?
- If I were at the place of my reader, what would I look for in this particular topic?
- Is this article gonna help my readers?
If you start without any plan, you are gonna end up messing it all. So it’s far better to have a solid plan.
Pro Blogging Tips 6: Readers First Attitude Helps
To be honest, I made this mistake myself. When I read my old articles, I realized I was overly SEO conscious. NO. Stop that. SEO is important, not needed to say. But if you care for your readers, you will leave your legacy for sure.
So the simple conclusion here is to use keywords, but genuinely, care for SEO, but for the readers too.
Pro Blogging Tips 7: Blog Design Must Be Easy
Your blog design should be super tidy. Your readers should be able to navigate easily. Help them find easily what they are exactly looking for. Because you know what, even when you choose your niche. You don’t talk exactly about one topic only.
For example, I teach about blogging, and SEO is a major part, content creation is a major part. Funny enough? No, not at all. But the truth. So I need to make sure that you are able to find out related content easily on my blog. Much about navigation.
Talking about the colours. Make sure your brand colour is not irritating and not as bright as the Sun. And yes, your blog should be fast as well. Because even before readers get to see the design, once they click on the link of your blog….
They will judge you by the speed of your blog. So make sure to have your blog fast enough. And at the end of the day, remember: First impression is the last impression….
Pro Blogging Tips 8: Use SEO Friendly Theme For Your Blog
Quite similar to the previous point. But here I will specifically talk about your theme, more specific, WordPress theme. There is a huge collection of WordPress themes available. You can go with any one of them.

Pro Blogging Tips 9: Guest Posting For Success
Quite very interesting for me. Because I am already letting you know that I personally haven’t ever used this technique. But my goodness! I have heard about so many benefits of using this strategy smartly.
