My Blogging Experience - What i learned so Far

Its been more then a year since i started blogging and when i started i knew nothing about it. The only thing i knew was how to make a post and nothing else and my friend helped me start a blog and he taught me the basics whats its all about and how to post and do everything. But still it was confusing and i couldn’t do much and my first few months were complete failure. The first blog i started was nothing technical or anything, it was a blog about celebrities as i thought its the most easiest thing i can post on . At that time i also didn’t knew how cheap this niche is but still i worked on the blog and for the first 4 months i couldn’t do anything or get any return from the blog which really which made me think about it whether i should continue or not until i got to know about Search Engine Optimization from my cousin who started giving me tips on what should i do to run the blog and he kept giving me tips to optimize my site for search engines. And i did those things and i was amazed to see the improvement and then i decided to learn SEO from scratch along with php.

Then i kept on applying the different things i got to know with time and it worked out pretty well and then i started few more blogs with my friend and they were successful. Some people do think that blogging is really easy and the only thing you need to do is install a blog and start posting and let me tell you that this is not true. You have to take care of many things apart from posting which matters a lot to the site. This was the same mistake i made when i started blogging that i focused on posting and didn’t do any research about the thing i was doing. Even when i think that i know all the things, i am absolutely wrong because there are so many things that i still have to learn.

Most of the sites depend on Google for there site traffic as its the best traffic for your site. Not specifically Google, traffic from any search engine is the best thing that can happen to your site. But you know that google is the browser majority of people use and google is the search engine which sends traffic to any site no matter how good or how bad it is. Whether its optimized or not but its all upto Google. They decide what to do. When i started my other sites, in the start i got really good traffic from Google for the first month and it also gave me good earnings but later it went down in serps and i was like “Wth i didnt do anything wrong why me” and my friend used to say dont worry it will be alright but dunno its in my nature that i take too much tension and kept blaming Google until it came back. I was happy but that happiness didnt lasted long until the site got down again and along with that earnings and traffic from my other  sites also went down. I talked to many people about what should i do to get everything back where it was and nothing was helpful but i still kept on posting and again the sites came back. So the whole point of telling this is that when the sites go down in serps dont worry alot and keep doing link building and also posting. You dont know when is your lucky day.

My whole first year has taught me so much and the main lessons i learned from blogging so far are :

• You should work hard in order to be successful
• Make yourself different from others. Just dont go around and start what other people are doing do something unique.
• Select a proper niche, a niche on which you have knowledge just dont go around searching for the high paying niches on which you dont have any knowledge
• Start multiple blogs as you dont know when google or any other search engine turn there back So always make a backup plan
• Blogging helped me connect to many new people.
• If you are a full time blogger, just dont sit in front of your pc all day, do some other activities as well and spend time with your loved ones.
• Do a research before starting a new blog or a website
• And finally Stay Calm…:)
