HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR BLOG:PART-2

In Part-1 I described the basics and foundations of improving your blog. That was purely for beginners. Now that you have mastered the basics, you should start developing strategy and focus on implementation. The following pointers will assist advanced bloggers:

·        Strengths: Identify the most eye catching elements of your blog. It could be in any form. Whether you’ve got great back links, catchy advertisements, deals you may offer, recurring subscriptions’ to your weekly newsletter. Once you’ve identified your strengths, build and extend your firepower further. You will know what it takes to hit the jackpot.

·        Weaknesses: Now, down the line even advanced bloggers like pro-blogger, Steve Pavlina, and even Yaro Starak may have flaws in there strategy. Come on now, you know and I know that no one business model is perfect. You should analyze the frequency of feedback you’ve received from you’re followers and the feedback you haven’t received. After all its all about how far you’re able to reach your audience and if you’re getting the desired level of hits then there is something seriously wrong with your strategy.

·        Opportunities:  This is a point which most bloggers tend to miss. You should always keep in mind that the smallest of details may make the biggest impact on the long term success of your blog. Look at the ongoing trends in the media and global news channels. Perhaps even the national geographic channel can also be medium of inspiration. Bloomberg, Fox News, CBS are also excellent information sources to beef up your blog. Remember one thing always, get information, write notes, but don’t ever plagiarize. Always publish original content and in your own words. It will take you very far in the blogosphere.

·        Threats: The Last and most important element of this section is about analyzing your threats. What can they be? Changes in the way Search engines rate particular sites, some blogging platforms may favor certain content because its just making them more money than just being cool (come one guys, first your idea has to be cool and then it goes viral and then you monetize), another threat could be political factors, for E.g if you are based in china and are dissing the government; then be prepared for the worst. I mean you could get arrested and put in jail. Please respect the policies of your host nation, even if its your own country.
