Anyone can learn how to be a good blogger and learn the skills necessary to create exciting and informative online for their site. Though it can seem intimidating, blogging is actually a casual way to connect with others in a meaningful way. In turn and over time this will encourage sales, foster a lifelong relationship and so much more. Read on to learn the different methods of effective blogging.
When you looking for serious tips on how to be a good blogger, a good place to start would be to consider taking control of your blog and investing in your own domain name with your own hosting account. Whenever you use free hosting, you may find it harder to get good search engine rankings. You will also have to abide to the rules of your host. If you have your own domain name and your own hosting account, you will have a lot more freedom in regards to the content you can post, and you won’t run the risk that your information will all disappear if the host goes under!
How to be a good blogger
Knowing how to be good at commenting is as important as knowing how to be a good blogger.
Knowing how to be a good blogger isn’t just about posting blogs and moving on. It’s about interacting with people who you come to network with and that leave comments on your blog. When your readers know that they can have a conversation with you via your blog, you are more likely to keep them as active readers who follow what you are doing. If you post without commenting, eventually your readers will move on to greener pastures.
If you are starting your own blog, you probably won’t have a multitude of readers and comments right away and that’s OK. You could search out people and make them see that you exist. Or you could join groups that specialize in supporting and networking with other bloggers. I highly recommend Networking Superstars.

If you are not already a member of networking superstars you can make great relationships via social networking sites like:
Facebook and Twitter. Use these sites to communicate with people, not just to post links.
If you want to know how to be a good blogger you will want to ensure that you are accepting and submitting valuable comments. You want to have as many ways as possible for a back link to happen. When you comment, add your URL so that you will have a link created to your blog. This will make it easy for others to find you. If you have a wordpress site, I highly recommend that you use commentluv as it will naturally add a link back to your most recent post. See below in my comment section for more information.
Always make sure that you allow users to leave comments on your blog. Disabling the comments will make users think that you do not care about their opinions and they will be less likely to visit your site again in the future. Also make sure that you respond to any comments made to you by visitors, again this will ensure that you keep bloggers engaged and there is more chance of them returning.
Try to be as helpful as possible when writing a post on your blog. It is ideal that your visitors feel like they have taken something out of reading your blog posts. If visitors don’t feel that your posts are helping them in any manner, then they probably won’t stick around very long. But if you are good at writing quality content, people will want to learn ‘how to be a good blogger’ from YOU.
Your blog updates should include links to other sections of your website and previous blog posts when relevant. Learning how to be a good blogger may also mean learning some SEO and marketing skills.
Linking your posts together will not only help your search engine ranking, but will also help your readers to better understand your blog, while introducing them to the wealth of content available on your website.
Sometimes knowing how to be a good blogger is just about writing from your own experiences. Write openly about items you know about and write your feelings about them without fearing being wrong. It tends to be a big mistake to copy from experts than to learn from your own errors. Your personal experience is the most precious blogging asset that you have.
Instead of sitting in front of your computer, not knowing what to write about, why not try keeping a blog journal? If you keep a journal or small notepad with you at all times, you can jot down potential titles and keywords that come to mind during the day. Then, when it’s time to get down to work, you will have several ideas just waiting for your fingers! Inspiration really can come from anywhere.
You now have the information necessary and should now how be a good blogger. Your clients, business associates and friends will all reap the benefits of being better informed about your business goals and availability of product or services. Put these insights to work in creating blogs that work for your needs.
To Your Success,

This all seem important in order to build a relationship with others out here online. Giving value and following through are sadly not always done so this all makes perfect sense to me! I would like to see a zillion more posts like this to educate bloggers on what is and what is not going to get them more eyes visiting their content
Thanks miss Beth!

I’m all for giving and accepting good comments, Beth, but how do you avoid getting them marked as spam by automatic spam checkers? About half of my comments never appear because I suspect the website sees them as spam. And I have a similar problem on my blog in having to fish out legitimate comments from the spam folder.

Sites that tend to rank and do well are those that interact with their audience and pay interest to their readers concerns and opinions. Enabling comments is one way of doing this

Hi Beth,
Your post is a good reminder to check my blog often for new comments if you have “moderate comments” turned on. Thanks for reminding me.
The most important value I received from this post is the suggestion to keep a “blog journal” with me as much as possible. In the past, I have used whatever scrap of paper or envelope is handy. Having a journal will also remind me to think of new content during the day. Thanks!

Interaction with the people who comment on your blog is really important. In this way you build a relationship with them and in this way you will grow your audience over time.
Commenting as blog writing are skills everyone can learn. It needs time but the reward will be huge when you master it.
