This is a guest post from Melvin Dichoso who’s currently running an insane contest.

Let me start this post with a question. What is common with successful bloggers? Yes, they get a lot of traffic. Yes, they all make good money with their blog and again you’re right, they are web celebrities. All those things and many more are the things that you can easily find out common with them. But probably you missed this one.

They all have built great relationships with each other and many other bloggers.

It never ceases to surprise that people don’t put this as one of their goals in successful blogging. Bloggers are mostly just like “Oh, I’m going to build traffic, increase my rss readers” or “I’m going to put ads on this and that”. They just never give building relationships a thought in each day.

I’m not quite sure if this is really the “in” thing these days but it seems like in every corner, you’ll easily find a kid (also means a teenager) who either has his own blog/website or is doing client work as a business. I know this phenomenon has started even in the earlier part of this decade but I just couldn’t help but get amazed on how these young kids get to work and be crafty on starting their own mini business.

Even though I’m speaking like an old man, I, myself is only 19 years old so I kinda understand why young people like us (including the owner of this blog) are so determined on carving our way into entrepreneurial success. Of course, the ratio of successful youngsters against those who are not is pretty small. But that is understandable. I mean most of them are not yet even in college so how do you expect them to know all those marketing and entrepreneurial stuffs?

Do you ever wonder why big bloggers never lose their followers? Why it seems like they always get chased even though they’re not really doing anything special?  Today I am very elated to share to you guys how you can keep your readers for the long haul.

Getting readers is easy. In fact, I can get 50 new people every day to read my blog. What is a bit tricky is how to make them stay for long. If you’re blogging you’d easily notice the trend of new readers following you, then after couple of months not following you anymore and stuffs. It happens for reasons like sometimes they started liking other blog content more than you or maybe you started adding those intrusive ads that they became annoyed and etc.

Each and everyone who owns a blog definitely wants to build an audience towards the brand of their own. And of course, we want to spread it and have it exposed to as much people as possible. Since millions of new blogs are created every day, it’s an uphill battle for us, bloggers to spread our own and stand out from the rest.

But we should never get worried. Obviously most of the blogs are just junk blogs, either blogs who are just created for SEO benefits or blogs that are created by inexperienced bloggers. Overall we still have a good chance of getting recognized, acquiring new readers and reaping good benefits for spreading our brand.

This is guest blogged by Melvin from MelvinBlog.com, a super duper cool blog.

These days, I have observed many school kids, college graduates and even the individuals who are doing regular 9 to 5 jobs are considering blogging and internet marketing as a source of part time income. However, I am not saying that this is not a wise decision to make but as we all know that blogging and internet marketing requires sufficient time and efforts from your side if you want to succeed.

In this piece of writing, I will (try to) shed some light on the most important issue which is associated with blogging and internet marketing, “time management”.
