1. Part of blogging is building a relationship with your readers. If you expect people to read what you have to say, you need to try to connect with them on an emotional and psychological level. It's not enough to just throw out random garbage and expect people to pay attention.
The best way to build a relationship with your readers is to always speak from your point of view. Even if it's not a popular opinion. Especially if it's not a popular opinion. People might not like you for saying something, but they will respect you more for saying what you really feel and believe rather than trying to be on everyone's' side. Fake wont get you far.
Write about how you feel about things. Don't be afraid to bare your soul on a topic you are passionate about.
2. Say what you really think and don't hold back. Bottom line it it's better to be hated than ignored. If they are ignoring you then you aren't getting any kind of response at all. Any emotional connection or reaction is better than nothing.
Say what is true for you when you are typing up your posts. Honesty earns respect, being a sheep wont even earn you disdain, it just gets you ignored.
3. Write for people first and search engines last. Anyone who has done any looking into online marketing and search engines optimization knows you need to include keywords and key phrases in the stuff you type. What you don't want to do is just type everything up for the search engines. People can tell when an article has been written like that, it never really reads right.
You should never just think in terms of online traffic. That traffic is made up of people. People buy products. People bookmark your site and share it with friends. People are the lifeblood of a website, not traffic. If you only see and think traffic, then you will never achieve a real connection with your audience.
4. Helping others helps you. Greed doesn't help you in the long run. You might wind up getting rich, but you will end up lonely, bitter and with nothing but your money for company. Never knowing who really likes you, and who is just after your funds.
I don't know if karma exists. I do know that helping people is satisfying and seems to bring back more to you. I didn't start making money online until I started trying to offer people something worthwhile. Till I started being helpful, and trying to help people. That's when things started turning around for me. So if you take nothing else from this article, take this "to help yourself, help others".
