Believe me, I didn’t know how to blog…NOW?…Well now I feel it comes so natural to me.
Too many people start to blog with little to no knowledge in what and how to blog in the correct way.

To ensure that your blog stands out from the millions out there and keeps readers coming back for more, you will need to keep it up-to-date with relevant and quality information that you have researched so that you can ensure correct content for your followers.

This post took me over 2 hours to create. Sounds a lot, but I like to sound like I do here. That’s my passion taking over!
Include pictures that relate to your blog niche.
This not only looks good, but will ensure that search engines bots spider your website quickly.
You could also include videos but make sure that you have permission to add it and it relates to your blog niche.
#2 Blog Frequency !
Frequent blogs ensure the readers are kept intrigued. Now this should be once at least every 2- 3 days. Any longer than that and you jeopardize keeping and readers you already have and those potential ones.
Honestly the more the quality of the post, the better. Power bloggers blog 3- 5 times a day!
Not only do new blog posts give people a reason to return to your blog, they also help your blog in terms of search engine optimization.
Each new post is a new entry point for viewers to find your blog. The more entry points, the better the chances are that new readers will find your blog.

By using any of these techniques you will soon find that you have more readers than you ever thought possible.
