Prior to mentioning the types of blogs and their purposes, I find it important to discuss a little about blogging. I hope you would find the blog informative and helpful in a broader note. Let’s start.

1. Realize your Passion for Blogging

It is highly recommended to first realize ‘if blogging is my cup of tea?’ You need to be 100% sure that you are passionate about writing and will be disciplined throughout to succeed in your blogging career.

5. Use Optimization Tools

Once you plan about the content, optimize it with SEO, create an attractive theme for your WordPress and therefore, improve the performance of your website.

Remember that writing a blog is not totally related to the content, there are furthermore tasks like banner designing, creating a website theme, creating backlinks and making the blog SEO optimized.

6. Analyzing Blog Performance

Further, after writing and publishing a blog, you will need to measure the traffic generated at your place and therefore increase the conversion rate optimization. For identifying visitors, make use of Google Analytics and learn the strategies for converting visitors to customers.

7. Start with Blog Promotions

Once you are done with the writing of 10-50 blogs, start with the promotional session. Use social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Quora, Pinterest, Medium, and Slideshare. Promote through ad campaigns, optimize its content with SEO and backlinking.

Promotion is the most critical stage. All the way you had been working independently but here you are dependent upon your audience. Write the content that could drive traffic and motivate the visitors to sign-in for your offerings.
