Came across this old bookmark to a magazine and website that no longer exists but I has cached away on my computer and thought it is still relevant to share with other on the habits that bloggers should use to build their audience and perhaps become successful enough to make it profitable:
- Focus intently on a narrow niche
- Set up your blog so that each post gets it own permanent URL – improves the search engines capability to properly index your post
- Think of your blog as a database – that is to say to make it searchable through all of your archive posts
- Blog frequently and regularly
- Use striking images in your posts – livens up the page and attracts readers
- Enable comments and interact with readers – cultivate your audience
- Make friends with other bloggers – link posts of other blogs and they may do the same to you
