How do you create a successful blog?
Creating a successful blog is no formula. However, if you keep the following under your consideration, you might well be on your way:
- Pay extra attention to the blogging platform you are choosing and go for the one that suits your requirements the best. E.g. if you are a novice, you are going to need personalized attention, but if you are skilled yourself a different kind of a platform might be ideal for you. Same goes for hosting as well
- It is important to pay attention to the way your blog looks, which is why you must choose a blog theme that should look exactly like you want it to, and your readers should like it too! Before finalizing a theme, remember that a theme has two halves – framework (the bones) and child theme (the aesthetics)
- At the end of the previous step, it is time now for you to tweak the theme enough to achieve the exact look and feel that you want. Identify the weak points in the theme and then spend some time tweaking the theme further
- While choosing plugins focus on the quality and relevance rather than popularity and quantity. We recommend getting Google Analytics for WordPress and some simple social media share-button plugins as it would encourage your readers to share your content on their favorite social media platform
- This one is actually pretty obvious and one of the most important elements of the blog you are creating. The blog must have the following components:
- About Us
- Contact Us
- Home Page
- Tour Page
- A stellar Logo
- A Profile and picture of Key People in the organization or Just You if it is a personal blog
