This is a guest post by Gagandeep Singh of Landing Page Design.This is a follow up of the article “7 Tips To Improve Your Chances Of Being A Successful Blogger!“. In This post, you will find the reasons which differentiate between a blogger and a successful blogger.

When thousands of blogs are being added daily to blogosphere and each blogger want to get heard and earn a decent income from his blog; only a tiny fraction of blogs become successful. Then it becomes really important to analyze the qualities which turn a blogger into a successful blogger.

So in this article I would be writing of some qualities which are present in successful blogger but not in a blogger.

difference-blogger-successful-blogger

1. The Purpose Of Writing

A blogger is a person who writes mainly for purpose to earn money as primary purpose and don’t enjoy writing or take it as Passion. But a successful blogger loves writing and always keep the money as secondary goal and content as primary goal.

2. Helping Nature

A Blogger is a person who is more interested in taking from his readers rather than giving but a successful blogger is always very generous. He is always ready to help his readers by providing them great content and try to win respect from them. A successful blogger always believe in “sharing with community”.

3. Importance Of Readers

A Blogger is a Person who uses his blog as a medium of one-way communication. He just posts his views and don’t care about the opinions of his readers. But a successful blogger is a person who always interacts with his readers by replying to his comments and is easily accessible to his readers by email, twitter etc.

4. The Craze For Making Money

A Blogger is a person who doesn’t try to improve the user experience and fill his blog by Useless affiliate programs and irrelevant ads which don’t enhance the user experience but a successful blogger is a person who makes a perfect balance between the free content and advertisements. He only accepts ads which are relevant to blog and enhance the user experience on each visit.

5. Honesty In Opinions

A Blogger is a person who never gives honest opinions about product he is recommending to his readers and influences them to take a wrong decision but a successful blogger always gives his honest opinions to his readers because his readers trust him. A successful blogger always tell about both Pros and cons of products he is recommending to the readers and disclose his relationship with the product by telling readers If he will be getting any compensation for this review or not.

6. The Proof For The Information

A Blogger is a person who never backs his content with evidences, in short people can’t trust him but a successful bloggers provides lot of evidences to support his content so that his readers can take a right decision.

7. Patience & Focused

A Blogger is a person who is impatient and get frustrated when he can’t see quick results. He thinks he is an expert and don’t learn from his mistakes. But A successful blogger is a person who has patience and knows that being successful takes time. He is always ready to accept his mistakes and keep learning from them. In short he is focused towards his goal and keeps working on it.

Conclusion

There are other factors too like Frequency to update blog, participation in Social Media etc which could be included in the article but I tried to focus mainly on the qualities which are related to reader experience. For me each blog where a reader learns something new which helps him to improve his life irrespective of the traffic that blogs get would be a Successful blog.

For Example: I won’t feel that a blogger who get 1000 hits everyday on his blog full of ads but no quality deserve to get called himself a successful blogger. On the other hand a blogger who gets only 100 hits each day on his blog but help readers to enhance their knowledge could be called a Successful blogger according to me.

I would like to hear about your opinions so feel free to share your valuable opinions in the comments and also let us know in which category you feel you are – blogger or successful blogger?

First of all, it’s OK and good luck on your plan for making own blog.
Second, with writing guest post on some blog when you’re have no blog, it’s help you to get credibility and name first. When the blog is launch, i’m sure there will be successful. And actually your blog is not start from zero.

We can also reward the customers by writing a post regarding them…

For example:

Once in a month you can write post about who comments regularly in the blog and you can also mention their blogs in that post.. This gives encouragement to that blog and also motivates others to visit our site more….

In One of my friend blog they are encouraging the blog customers in this way.. Really i got motivated through that.

Americans don’t have perfect grammar as well. Just be confident in what you say and use simple words, don’t push yourself to more professional words yet complicated. Anyway, if you still worry with your grammar, practice is what I can suggest. Use the language more often, read english books, watch english movies.

I am not a fan of john chow , May be you should try searching on google for Jhon chow Scams and you will find some good posts about him and his company ttz media . some recent results are

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1601238

http://bloggerunleashed.com/bloggers/john-chow-unclogged/ (its from 2007 actually)

His disclosure policy is

* I make money from every post I put on this blog. If I’m not making money from every blog post, then it was an oversight on my part and it will be corrected soon.
* Every link on this blog is a paid link. If it is not a paid link, then it was an oversight on my part and it will become a paid link soon.
* Every product I write about on this blog, I get for free. If I didn’t get it for free, then there was a miss-communication with the company that sent it and I will be billing them for the cost so the product becomes free.
* I make money from every tweet I send out on Twitter. If I didn’t make money on the tweet, then it was an oversight on my part and it will be corrected soon.
* If you email me, all of the information in your email is mine to do with as I please, such as exploit for financial profit, use as blackmail, or quote on my blog.
* The T-shirts you see me wear at trade shows. I get paid to wear them. If I didn’t get paid to wear them, then it means I ran out of paid shirts and had to wear a free one. In which case, I will go to the company that gave me the free shirt and ask them to sponsor it.
* If something on the Net is making a lot of money, you can bet I will be in on it. If I’m not in on it, then it was an oversight on my part and it will be corrected soon.
* Just because I get paid to blog, tweet, wear T-shirts, etc. does NOT mean I will give you or your company a positive review, blog post or endorsement. As a matter of fact, chances are pretty high that I might slam you.

I don’t know whether he makes more money or not and even i don’t care about it . Click any of his link and you would be directed to join a program under his affiliate url

Its up to you what you think and what your priorities are. So Best of Luck

i don’t say he is fake or don’t earn lots of money but Do I really care ?? Answer is No ?? I am not sure what you mean if he sue you ?? why he would sue you lolz ?? are you doing something wrong or illlegal ??

I don’t want to say anything about justice or injustice, I was just trying to say that keep money as your secondary goal and thats my personal opinion

Hi Gagan
I guess that we all want to be successful bloggers, that’s why I’m reading this post.

Has to be a topic that you are passionate and knowledgeable about and that lots of other people are interested in.
You have to know how to put together a well written post with great graphics.
Then you have to know all the technical stuff with Wordpress and themes.
Finally… you have to know how to get your message out and visitors coming in… SEO if you like.

Put all that together add a dash of luck… and you might be a successful blogger!

Good points on being a successful blogger, but Iwertainly think you should come up with a different pohrase for “a blogger”.

If you’re sitting in a bar and someone asks you, what do you do? Are you going to answer, I’m a successful blogger, or I’m a blogger.

Exactly my point. The way you have it phrased in the article, saying “I’m a blogger” is a bad thing.

Already answered on gagan comment, but i find one more opinion :
A successful blogger even don’t want people know that their is successful blogger for some reason.

Now, you’ll get no confuse when answering that people on bar question, right?

Thank you for elaborating the difference, yes all are some good point, successful blogger do not think for money they just want to give lots of resource to his reader, a successful blogger need not think for money, their success will bring money to them.

That’s true. A blogger who truly loves blogging can do it for years and years. Those who are in it only for money can’t last long.

And it’s too bad, mostly newbie have no “successfull blogger” mental :P
How to build successful blogger mental since newbie? Because in fact, the change from money-oriented to customer-oriented is happen after blog is running and not all blogger success on that changing proccess, some of them is ended as blogger.

Thank you Gagan bhai! interesting results to the survey. I think the sentiment about “it is not about you,” makes a lot of sense. Really it is about realizing that social media is a different way of conducting business where there is a possibility of having a dialogue with customers in a public forum. So that the relationship is on equal terms. That public forum will keep both parties honest and shine a light on either a company or customer that does not treat the other party with respect.

I think the interaction with the readers should be of utmost importance to become a successful blogger. I have recently read some great articles referring to some “A-List” bloggers who seem to have forgotten that (Chow was mentioned several times).

It’s so shame if we’re listed on that list. I would like to know, can you search it again and post here? I’ll appreciate it.

Wow, chow again? He is successful blogger but now i think we should thinking it again, as for me :
1. If money still an indicator, he is successful blogger
2. If indicator is all listed above, he is a blogger

As a sudden we cant make much money through blogging.. Hard work needed for that.. And the first important thing is that we have to attract our readers through our content… We have to provide them great article… Once we have got good traffic and trusted readers we can then approach for money making..

But we should always keep in my mind, that we are blogging for readers not for money alone

This was a nice post. I never really know what to say in my blog unless it strikes me to say it. I’ve re-done it so many times because it often felt dry in the beginning.

Now, I stopped trying to be a perfectionist about it and go with the flow. If there’s information out there that people can use, then I’d let them know about it. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t trying to promote with my blog.

Helping people, in your blog, does give you a different focus and a pretty good feeling.
