Writing a blog post is a key of your blog success, posts with high quality will automatically be read by the one who is looking for the issue you are writing. Some popular blog as we see today, almost all of their posts are high quality post. How can they make that kind of quality post?

So, what are the qualification of good blog’s post? Have you ever read about the SEO before? If yes, you will understand this tips directly.

Also, you need to track which one of your posts are being shared by your readers to social media. That will help you finding the most wanted article from your blog.

I’m not good enough at this thing, I’m still learning my self but as I read you need to put your keyword on the first paragraph that is around the first hundred word, the main content of your post and the last of your post. Some professional blogger also said that you need to bold your main idea of your post. As they said, “it will help search engine to find your post”.

You don’t need to make a complicated article with thousands of word inside. Your post should be a to the point article. So that, your readers would not get bring while reading your post. One thing to remember, forget any unusable example in your post. Don’t put it there, it will only make your readers. get boring.

4. Make a unique title

Although your post has come to the first page of the search engine, if it is not interesting in title, people will think that it is a boring stuff. Another rubbish, they will ignore your posts and go straight to click other posts.

5. Make an interesting intro and ending
People will read your entire word of your article if they find an interesting intro there. Usually, people read the intro first and if they find the intro written badly, they will just trying to find another article. The ending is also important to be interesting. Some seeking information people will look at your conclusion before they are reading the other. Making an interesting intro and ending is very useful if you want to have many readers to your blog.

Blogging to earn money

Today, blogging becomes a new alternative for making money. There are so many ways you can choose to make your own dollars. You can have an affiliates program or joining the pay per click program and some other way to make your own dollars. As you can see today, so many people get billion of dollars just from their blog. This is not just because they are a good writer, this is also caused by their agreement to loose up their free time on their blogger. They are dedicating almost half a day to sit in front of computer fixing any error on their blog, moderating any comments they got and writing some new posts for their blog. So, blogging is not an easy way to produce your own dollars and if you really want to be a blogger, these are the things you have know before you start blogging :

1. Think of what you are going to write on your blog
You have to know what the markets want you to write, write a blog post is not likely writing any other kind of writing. In blogging you have to know what your markets want and make it to be as simple as you can. Blog writing is the most important in blogging. You can not get any traffic if you do not have any post in your blog. Because posts is the key of successful blogger.

2. Decide who are your market
If you are a fairy tale writer you cannot sell it to mature person. Because mature person need some kind of clue about how to be successful. So, deciding your market is always important, because they are your costumer. In blogging you are just like a person who sell a product to your costumer. Your post is your product and your markets are likely to be the one who buy your products. A blogger cannot make any money without any traffic. What you are going to do if you have some ads in your blog but you have no traffic at all? Who will click that ads? Who will give you money?

3. Understanding the basic of HTML
This is one of the most important thing in blogging. Sometimes you need to edit the layer of your template to make it more enjoyable for your costumer to stay at your blog. Sometimes in blogging if you want to add some widget also you need this kind of HTML. In making good navigation system also you need  HTML.

4. Understanding the SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
This is very important. As I said above, in blogging post is the most important thing but when your  posts are not good enough it will not be shown in the search engine. This is the important of SEO, to make your posts detected by the search engine, so when people need something in your blog and he can find it easily in the search engine.

5. Show your passion to your blog
If you want to be a professional blogger, you have to threat your blog as other people threat their business. Spent your time on your blog. Never dismiss it anyway. You will never know when you will got any spam comments or any spam traffic and some other problem like crawl error and some kind of it.


So, blogging is not only about writing a post. There are some aspect you need to prepare before you start blogging. Some professional blogger, as I read, they never go in instant. Even some of of them need years to become a professional one. Before you do it, prepare for it.  

Road to be professional blogger

As an amateur blogger, I have so many difficulties to improve my blog's appearance, content, and search engine optimization. That are my weakneesses in blogging. I learn so many thing from old blog and hopefully to become a professional blogger in the next few years. I almost forget one thing to tell you here, in this blog I'm not working alone. There are two others blogger here. First, my friend from Indonesian Literature, Diponegoro University, Novian R Anggara and the last who was a semi-professional blogger from Geological Engineering who help me a lot with this blog, Aqwia Syaifudin.

We are still learning in this world of blogging, but we believe that our study in this stuff will cost us a lot someday. We are still looking for the right pattern to put in this blog. Aqwia as semi-professional, he know a lot about HTML, so that he is this blog leader I though. Before this blog we have created our blog project in Never Stop Learning. We found that it is hard for us to understand the world of blogging without any help, we are still on our way to become professional blogger. We will keep fighting to get our desire, we have ever failed before but we are not down because of that, we use that failure as a composition to build up again our business from zero. That is why this blog URL is backzeroagain.blogspot.com.

We have read so many articles from our senior, the professional one, and they are motivating us to be better and better. Although, we need to start again from zero, we are still fascinated with its benefit, we are still sure that we can make millions of dollar from this blog. Our senior told us that the key success of blogging is never surrender in such kind of condition. We have to make our failure become our motivation in building up again our business, our senior told us that we need to learn more and more, knowledge is everywhere. From our senior bloggers again we find that actually it is not that easy to become a professional blogger, we saw some bloggers need years to be what I call as professional blogger.

In the other hand, we want to be our own boss. We don't want to work for other people, we don't really like to engaged with other people rules. Wake up at seven, go to work at eight, break at twelve and back home in the evening. We don't want to have such kind of daily activity, everyday is just the same activity repeated again and again. We want to work on our own rules, that is why we choose blog as our way to get succeed.

Our senior told us that they are really boring with general people's life. It is not interesting to do, there are so many other thing we want to do in this world rather than having the same activity everyday. We want to climb some mountain, we want to travel to other country, we want to have some free time. That is why we choose blog as our job.
