Blogs are a great way to build your brand and expand your readership. If your blog provides exceptional value, your content will get recognized and appreciated. Eventually, you will start to build authority in your niche and your readers will turn to your blog for advice and information.

In order to accomplish this, you have to be a productive blogger. By reading below, you will find blogging tips that could take your blog from being the underdog of your niche to a rising authority.

High Quality Saves Time

So many bloggers make the mistake of thinking they need large quantities of blog posts to get anywhere with their website. Pushing for quantity over quality may increase your search engine presence, but it won't fatten your wallet. Content does create potential for your site has to get noticed on search engines but if you're sacrificing the quality of your copy to accomplish this then nobody will be impressed.

Less is more 

If your copy isn't exceptional, the bounce rate of your website is going to be very high. No one reads low quality content so don't expect them to stick around to see what else is on your website. One really high quality blog post in a day is far better than three mediocre ones.

Fewer are Articles Easier to manage in terms of SEO 

Every article that you publish on your website should be properly search engine optimized and promoted. You can use social media networks, backlinks or even paid advertisements. Regardless, it's all much easier to manage when you have fewer articles to promote. By putting more effort into the content on your site, you will improve your efficiency in other ways as well.

Write Several Articles before Publishing 

Writing in a word processing program like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, you can produce more content in a shorter period of time. Rather than publishing each individual article to your blog one at a time, write several blog posts beforehand. It's proven that when you just write and focus on adding images and formatting to the content later on, you are able to accomplish more with your time.

Determine Titles and Subject Prior to Writing 

Organizing the titles and subject matter for your articles before you begin writing, the entire process will be much smoother. This allows you to consistently write without having to slow down to organize your points. This is sort of like having a diagram or flow chart for your articles. It's an essential part of brainstorming and it can come in handy when writing articles for your blog.

Regularly Check Google Analytics 

Google Analytics provides webmasters and bloggers with incredibly helpful information. Improving your blog is easier when you regularly check these statistics. Analytics will tell you how much traffic your website is receiving, where these visitors come from (even precise keyword searches on Google) and it will even tell you what the bounce rate of the traffic is.

Create Posts Based Around the Analytic Data 

The information you gather from Google Analytics can be of great assistance to your search engine optimization strategies. For instance, if you find long-tail phrases that are providing traffic to your articles, you could create new blog posts that are specifically focused around those keywords.

Bounce Rates are Important 

Knowing your bounce rate is essential to improving your blog and enticing people to stay on the page. If your bounce rate is too high, you could make adjustments to your blog such as adding a free offer to the sidebar where incoming visitors are going to see it.

Know Your Audience 

Your blog must meet the demands of today's picky readers. People today want value and they don't want their time wasted with low quality content. Hiring top notch copywriters is one option, but most of us don't have a budget to support this. Make sure you address your audience's needs and provide them with exactly what they're looking for.

Network with Others 

Networking is essential to an online business. By networking with others, you can expand your outreach and get recognized from inside the industry. Attending events in your local area is a great way to network, but don't forget about online networking opportunities like LinkedIn and other social networks.
