Before We Start, Overcome the Doubts

Your questions are numerous: How is it even possible at all? How can I prove to readers that my brand new website is better than others, as there are so many great blogs that exist and keep high rankings for years?

Firstly, you have to strongly believe in it yourself. Secondly, you need to keep working all the time to grab more followers than competitors and make your blog entirely irresistible. And finally, you need to develop a whole strategy of website improvement, considering such tips from professional bloggers as the ones listed below:

1. Beat the Competitors.

Keep an eye on every move your competitors make, but don’t plagiarize their content. Analyze their weak spots and understand their marketing strategy to find out whether their successes are more significant than yours and why. Evaluate the effectiveness of their content, design, and marketing optimization to get the inspiration you need to create your own strategy. It’s better to build your plan of action on data received from analysis than on your assumptions and doubts. That really works, especially with the help of tools created for analyzing competitors, such as Feedly (choose the topic you’re interested in and discover the most popular articles written about it) and Buzzsumo (pick up the newest social media trends and see if your competitors use them).

2. Transform Content Into Your Main Strength.

Here are some characteristic traits of effective, working content that will boost your brand new blog to supersonic performance:

  • Originality, practical importance, and relevance are what people want;
  • Strong headlines make the whole article readable;
  • Juicy multimedia to diversify your content;
  • Thought-provoking articles generate popularity;
  • Accurateness and exact reporting of your information is a must.

As originality is the main feature of quality content, you can check your articles for similarities using Unplag (check your content for matches with blog posts of your competitors or check articles to be posted against already published ones to avoid self-plagiarism). To create attractive images and infographics, try using Canva or Easel.ly and enjoy a wide range of options suggested by these tools.

8. Stay Within Striking Distance of Readers Impression.Boosting a new blog is not an easy task, especially since blogging competition is fierce, including hundreds of thousands of competitors in any niche.

Create a friendly and interactive atmosphere for your blog, letting your readers communicate via emailing or commenting. It will help you keep in touch with your followers and let them create a friendly community of people unified by the same interests and ideas. In this way, you will shorten the distance between you and your readers and definitely see how your work is valued and for which people it is of most importance. Understand your targeted audience and become their best friend.

9. Regularity + Time Tracking = Super Effectiveness.

Obviously, you shouldn’t post your articles only once a month or at nighttime because you’ll hardly reach even 5% of your target audience. The research from Hubspot proves that websites that publish more than 16 posts monthly get 3.5 times more traffic. Furthermore, researchers show how content posted on Tuesday gets the largest amount of traffic. Additional information about the best time for posting you can search, depending on which result you want to achieve, whether it is commenting, traffic or sharing on social media. As your blog is brand new, you need all possible results to be achieved, so be sure to check the most appropriate time for getting extra commenting, sharing and visiting. Coschedule will ease your searching process and help you understand which time will correspond to your own needs.

10. Be Socially Active.

Popularization in social media will not only give you some extra traffic but also promote your content and provide great opportunities to be closer to your audience. You can use sites like Google+, Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. Use media scheduling tools like Buffer to manage several accounts simultaneously and plan your posts. You can also create an account on Instagram and blog on Tumblr. Having official pages or blogs on all of these social media platforms will ensure your popularity and multiply it.

11. Never Stop Learning.

Any activity requires effort; it doesn’t really matter what kind of activity it is. If you want to succeed, you need to work on a constant basis. Seek out new knowledge, gather more professional experience, talk to smart people, attend conferences and webinars, and never stop working and loving what you do.

Use all of these points to start a new period of your life – one that is motivated, successful and productive. Doing what you love to do is the greatest happiness possible, isn’t it? Blogging can also become the greatest happiness for you, but only if you use the right strategies and create exact plans of action. By following these easy-to-use tips, you have better chances of boosting the popularity of your website and transform your hobby not only into an enjoyable activity but into the thing you’re most proud of!
