* The New York Times on March 20 introduced ways to become a successful blogger.
Mark Bowen, owner of Dallas Mavericks, is a very busy billionaire. He owns a media company in addition to a professional basketball team, and also serves as chairman of HDNet, a television channel. He has also challenged ABC's popular program "Dancing with the Stars" during the last five weeks. How can a busy person run a blog?

Despite his busy life, he runs blogmaverick.com, one of the top 1,000 blogs in the United States. Thousands visit each day and read Cuban's text. If he can, why can not you?

Cuban was the first commandment to become a successful blog in an email message, and above all, "Do not blog to make money." It is advised that the aim should be to gather as many readers as possible, either to make some money, to influence public opinion, or to be self-satisfied.

Here are some tips that successful bloggers recommend for bloggers.

Do not try to be rich.

If you like it, you can easily install the ad banner provided by Google or AdBrite on your blog. Advertising will be provided according to the subject of your blog post, and your readers will accumulate money in your account whenever they click on the ad. But you can find it only after a certain amount of money. For Google, the money is $ 100.

Philly Kaplan, commodity president of Ad Bright, advises that only one of the six blogs should have 500 page views per day. If this is the case, even if your site is jammed with ads, you can only earn $ 45 a month at best. Kaplan estimates that only 3% of active sites earn $ 1000 a month for advertising.

"In 3.5 months we've earned $ 9.47," blogger Ted Ziva, who has installed an automatic ad banner on his blog, Uncov.com, complained.

Write in your own voice what you want to write.

Working as a software engineer at Percy, a company that provides services for filtering Web news, Ziva is frustrated with flawed or exaggerated Web 2.0 applications and started blogging. His blog soon became a collective of technicians with similar complaints, and unintentionally made his company, Fersa, famous. Thousands of readers have used the test services provided by Fersai and the advertisers have also noticed. "Once I started recording 2,000 to 3,000 page views a day, the advertisers began to approach me," he said. He said the advertisers had direct access to the display ads, suggesting they would give $ 750 a month.

Cuban also says, "Put your passion on the blog. Do not blog what you think your audience would like." I advise you to post it because you want to write it and you have something to die for. "

Find an empty spot on your schedule and work on your blog

Glenn Reynolds is a professor of law at the University of Tennessee who regularly writes on Instapundit.com every day. He regularly posts on blogs and gets a lot of content, making his blog one of the most popular political review sites on the Internet.

"By using free time to stay in your work, your blog can be best run." Reynolds writes in the middle of the lesson, at the time of writing the law commentary, at the break, and at the time of the home comfort.

Do not try to write well, but write it unconditionally.

An obstacle to many potential bloggers is their concern about how their writings will look to others. Jenny Jadin, who runs an alternative news site called BoingBoing.net with a career as a freelance journalist from the public broadcasters and public broadcasters of the US public broadcaster National Public Radio, refrained from the desire to polish her blog posts just as she does with radio scripts do. She advises, "Do not try to take your thoughts with the idea that you have to be mature, complete, and perfect, like a magazine or newspaper article." "Blogs are always ongoing," she stresses. Her site, Boing Boing 's bloggers, is known for frequently adding new information and correcting errors from time to time in already posted posts.

Posting consistently

Bloggers do not agree on how often to blog. Reynolds and Jadin write several times a day. Cuban and Ziva also spend a week without posting a handwriting. The important thing is that you give your readers the confidence that you post periodically, so they agree that it is important to give the reader a belief that they will be able to see new posts over time.

There is no such thing as the proper length of a blog post title. But the most successful sites have their own reliable formats, like the most professional publications. Reynolds does not exceed two or three lines per post. Boeing Boeing does not exceed one to three paragraphs at the beginning with pictures at all times.

Join the community

It is always the blogging world that links to bloggers you borrow ideas from and you link to other sites from them. Do not write photos of other bloggers without making a link with the original author, or do not post their articles. If in doubt, identify the source.

Moreover, linking with other bloggers is the best way to link them to you. Links from other bloggers increase your blog's readability in both directions. They send readers directly from other sites, and they increase your rankings in search engine results.

Develop Self

It's what all famous bloggers do. It is not bad behavior to send a short note to them to attract the attention of famous bloggers to your good blog. Some bloggers write comments on popular blogs and link them to their own sites. So some bloggers do not allow this behavior on their blog.

A more direct way to attract the public is to send your blog posts to the news gathering site. Readers vote on how much you like your posts, and new readers are attracted to the most popular post list.

The biggest threat to running a blog is not that you do not learn how to run a blog. Rather, it becomes a slave to the blog. If you run your blog regularly for a long period of time and start receiving comments and links from other bloggers, you can cause disruption to your profession.

A blogger confessed that his post began receiving dozens of comments and "could not stop posting." "I had to keep working, and I got an obsession."
