First Meet with a Real Blogger

There are millions of bloggers available all over internet and 30 percent of them make good amount of money.

I had face-to-face meet with many bloggers, but maximum of them are technology blogger. Yuk! they all produce same kind of content.. I also found some bloggers related to my niche, who writes about "blogging". Even i found some auto bloggers who releases the reviews of the "auto" related new bikes & cars but from all of them, one blogger was very unique.

Uniqueness attracted me.
He has a very unique thinking about blogging and i was really very impressed. I can call him a passionate blogger. He writes about "Bikes".. you may be thinking, what's the big deal about writing on bikes? but i must clear it that he has something unique in his blog.

Sharp voice for his Blog:
Before, we both began our conversation, he straight forwardly told me that his blog is special & i curiously asked him what's that special in a bike blog? - "I never found a bike related blog producing content other then reviewing the features of the new bikes"

Blog Uniqueness:
He told me that his blog is not about consumer auto blog, actually he writes about the daily requirement for maintaining a bike, everything from putting oils in the wheel to tightening up the strings of the brake. He try his best to explain each & every part of a bike, so that if any minor problem happens with your bike you can easily work out yourself without paying a penny to an engineer.

Not Monetized but got Great Authors:
He didn't yet monetized his blog because he wants to make it biker friendly. An interesting thing is that this blog has some great authors who are among the best bike riders & stunters. And all these authors don't contribute this blog for any revenue.. actually they are passionate about biking & love to write about it.

Experimental Posts:
After hearing such words from him, i couldn't stop myself to visit the blog & i'm really impressed by their experimental posts. Every Content present in the blog are their own created original content- right from the photos to the text.

And all the posts are based on hand-touch-experience .i.e. they completely made their blog naked to share the true experience of the bike maintainance.

The blog was looking like a community of biker more than a blog. Very Active!

So, i feel they are the real bloggers! Passionately doing the blogging about what they are interested in.

Atlast but not the least, another thing that impressed me a lot was his views behind personal branding. he didn't exposed his name even i have met him personally. So, i only know his username "Hunky". His blog Name is NexGenBikes.com .

Great going Hunky!

Comment on other blogs. Don’t be a SPAMMER!!!

To instigate a conversation with the readers of other blogs whom you wish to migrate to your one, the best option according to me is to leave a comment on the blogs they read & are interested in it.

Especially when you are a beginner, you need a start from some popular blogs of your niche.

Dragging traffic is not an easy job.
You’ve to motivate people with satisfactory reasons, why to visit your blog? What is the ‘X’ factor which is not there in the blogs which they will be following at that time.

For doing this you have to start interacting with the readers on other blogs and slowly but tactically divert them to your own blog.

Hardly 10-20 minutes! Not more than that. Read others’ comments and go through the important discussions.

Comment?? Why???
There are lots of advantages if you leave a comment:-
· You’ll get to know, what other of your niche bloggers are up to.
· Going to leave a comment virtually focuses your eyes upon the contents of the blog.
It may give births to some fantastic ideas in your mind.
· Legitimate and useful comments may end up in a relationship between you and some of the great bloggers in the web.
· Commenting on other blogs, indirectly opens up a gateway to the readers for them to migrate to your blog some or other day.
· It gains you reputation in your niche and shows your level of maturity and perception of the topics you write on.

What to Comment?
· Frame your comments staying in the topic only. Don’t go beyond it or write rubbish.
· Write in the virtue of a regular reader and use words to show that you are writing your opinion about the post written on the blog.
· Write what you like or don’t like about the post. What you’ll recommend to rectify?
· Point on an issue, the blogger might have missed to add in his post.
· Ask a question, be sure it should strike the minds of other readers also.
· Be watchful while adding links of your blog.

Take care that it must direct to a post on your blog which is relevant or complimentary to the one written in the blog where you are posting your comments.

SPAMMER gets a HAMMER!!!

Don’t be a COMMENT SPAMMER!!!

Don’t even pretend to be like that.

Many people think, what they comment is authentic, appropriate and genuine but it clearly appears as a spam.
e.g.
Great post! - www.yourblogname.com

This might look a short cut and tricky one to divert readers to your blog but actually it adds a meagre value to you and your blog.

No one’s going to click on your link until he is interested to know who the spammer is!

So don’t be in a hurry! You are not missing your train!

Find interest in commenting and discussing other blog posts and gradually you’ll develop a fair profile amongst readers.

Don’t ask readers to come! Inspire them to do so, persuade them,


“Why you? Not others!”

A male and female blogger! Wow! What a combination???

Please don’t strictly adhere to the heading!!!
Do collaborate with someone to blog, find your blog buddy.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that you will reject to accompany a quality blogger just as he or she might not be of your contrasting gender, nor should you force your spouse or fiancé to be your co-blogger.

Select enthusiastic bloggers to share your journey.

A little compromise with your ego and belief of self-sufficiency can grow your blog at the latest.

A couple of hands sound a louder clap!
# It may get you quicker feedback on posts, prior to pressing the button “publish.”
# After all you have a person to consult in all your good and bad times.

Force a project to completion together.
# Share each other’s posts amongst yourselves and between other bloggers.
# Motivate each other when in any case one of you falls in a writer-block situation or might not be getting aspired traffic.
# Most importantly share daily links and thereby grow up both your blogs.


Advice not awareness!!
# Try to be beneficial to each other. Co-blogging is a two way give and take process.


Contribute equally, share your benefits.
# It is always useful to get your co-blogger of the same niche you are writing.
You may not know what interesting topics are going in your buddy’s mind.

# Find bloggers having a reputation pretty similar to that you have in the blogosphere.
It is no harm to bind with a more popular blogger than you but working with a blogger of your level, who is sharing the same benefits and challenges as you are will be always powerful, as two unified minds can join to sort out your common problems and make your respective blogs better.

# Help hands to make each others’ blog better.
You should always have a positive and constructive attitude towards your friend’s blog.


“Then only you can expect the same on his part”

There is a famous quote by Stephen Covey :-
“Synergy is the highest activity of life; it creates new untapped alternatives, values and exploits the mental, emotional and psychological differences between people.”


The moral of the story is,
no matter how well you write, how many page views you have daily, combining with more bloggers will definitely increase your fame and skills, not divide or diminish it.
