Before I go ahead and give you proven strategies top influencers have used to grow their blog which has been tested and confirmed working, I will like to work you through the meaning of blogging for the sake of the beginners.
Blogging simply means telling digital stories in writing, photography, and other media which is published online, Blogging is an opportunity for self-acclaimed individuals to tell stories about themselves, what they feel about something, and places they have been to. Currently blogging is now used as a major source of income since it was incorporated into being a website for media, brand, and most business. The benchmark of blogging is the constant update of engaging content to educate and inform your readers.
With several years of blogging and being a social media influencer, I have a bunch of real growth experienced that boosted my blog’s growth multiple times.
Here are the pro tips:
Prioritize User Experience
The first thing you should consider is your users, make your blog layout and coding very simple to navigate and easy to understand. Good user experience improves bounce rate and your chances of receiving feedback from your happy visitor. In my entire journey as a blogger so far I have always put my users first because I always try to put myself in their shoes and correct mistakes I feel other blogs make when it comes to a quality user experience.
Strategically place your search box on a sticky header preferably, to assist users to get hold of content they want to read easily, So your search box should be visible and easy to locate on your website.
Google loves a blog that’s is optimized for mobile users, In the first quarter of 2021, mobile devices (excluding tablets) generated 54.8 percent of global website traffic, consistently hovering around the 50 percent mark since the beginning of 2017. Because of this factor Google now treats mobile users as a priority that’s why they tend to penalize blogs with a low page speed score.
Optimize Your Content for SEO
Optimizing your content and website for search engines is a major task to do, some times you should hire an SEO that will focus on just your website and content optimization for search engines. A website with an optimized SEO tends to be more discoverable on search engines. Most times you don’t need a tech-savvy to optimize for your blog for you, but it’s recommended to hire an SEO since Google algorithm changes and you need an expert to optimize against Google major updates.
Be Consistent
Not just being a blogger or a social media influencer, the key to success in all we do is being consistent and hard-working, In my story so far as a blogger I have never relented, when it comes to the consistency I keep it 100%. Be consistent even when you are not seeing results, update your blog regularly, work on the technical aspect of your blog, interact with other influencers to get a maximum experience, travel to get new ideals to share with your readers. Duplicate your knowledge or experience to your team so there can always fill in the space when you are not there to update new content.
Consistency will help you stay ahead of your competitors, the world is going global and everyone is working really hard to reach his/her full potential, there is alot the world can do with a group of hard working Influencers.
In NYC a group of influencers are gradually taking over the fates of NYC restaurants, to be in vogue, I always show a high level of consistency, I earned my audience trust that I can show up regularly with consistency.
Collaboration With Other Blogs
The best thing I have done in my blogging career is reaching out to bigger brands, influencers or blogs, though collaborating with other brands at a start up is always difficult because you will be turned down repeatedly. But believe me once you get your first collaboration sealed your confidence will grow it will go along way to boost your blog too. If you show a high level of professionalism, you are likely to have a long term collaboration and exposure to getting projects from other related brands.
