Signs That You May Not Be a Good Blogger

Many people are under the misconception that being a good writer will automatically make you a good blogger. When you write, it is primarily a solitary process; you have an idea and create an article around that idea. When you blog, you have to take a lot of other factors into consideration. Below are some things that good bloggers understand.

    The importance of networking with other bloggers
    How important promotion and marketing is
    How to attract new followers and subscribers
    The importance of building their brand and much more

To help you determine whether you are a good blogger or not, I have listed some common signs that bad bloggers share.

    Irregular Publishing - Not regularly publishing fresh content is a sign that you may not be a good blogger. If you do not publish new blogs regularly, your readers may begin to lose interest, or forget your blog even exists. If for some reason your blog posts have become nonexistent, the best thing you can do is to simply start posting again. It is recommended that you do not begin with a "sorry haven't posted for a while" post. The main reason behind this is that many of your readers may not have even noticed you were gone, unless you tell them.
    You Don't Have Any Blogging Contacts - If you try to take on the blogging world by yourself, you likely won't be very successful. All of the great bloggers have spent time creating a network of other bloggers who help spread the word about their blog. If you create a network of blogging friends, you will be able to promote each other's new blogs, guest blog on their blogs, and become an affiliate for their products or services. A blogging network is a great way to make your blogging efforts pay off.
    You're Not Being Offered Any Writing Opportunities - Good bloggers are often contacted by others who have been impressed with their blogs. The most common type of project that is offered to good blog writers are freelance writing gigs. If you've established yourself in your particular business niche, you should receive freelance writing offers. To ensure that you can be reached, you should check that all of your contact information on your blog is current. You may also want to include an easy to use and locate contact form on your blog.
    You're Not Using SEO - All good bloggers understand the importance of SEO. It is not very beneficial to provide your readers with great content without using SEO. When you properly choose SEO keywords to include in your content, it will be easier for search engines to locate and present to searchers. Properly used SEO techniques are a great way to drive traffic to your blog.
