First of all tell me why should anyone read your blog?
No idea?
Let me clear your doubt why should someone read your blog.
People read your blog to solve their problems not to listen your bragging!
Blogging is not only the best way to make money online but it also provide a better platform to share your opinions and to build a brand.
Isn’t it?
But only few bloggers succeed online. Well, most of the remaining bloggers quit blogging within 6 months, how terrible?
Ammar is very lucky as he had recently completed his 6 months blogging journey and published over 199 posts, this the 200th post which you are reading now!
Coming back to the point. Why your blog will never grow and what can you do to stop it? Ready?
4 Reasons Why Your Blog Will Never Grow
1. Mediocre content:
If you have pathetic content and writing style then no one will be interested to read your so called blog.
Create something that you will be proud of.
Don’t post just another posts to update your blog. No post is better than the worst post. And I know it’s bit difficult to create great content especially when you are just starting out.
All you have to do to create better content for your blog is: being helpful to your readers. Know your targeted audience first. Then try solving their problems.
How to know their problems then?
Good question which I always love to answer.
Try solving your own blogging problems! I will explain you more better here.
If you are just created a blog and thinking what to write in your first blog post, you can write “How to write your very first blog post”.
You can rank more better in Google if you are the first person to write on the trending hot topics!
At the end of the day, you must create compelling content, readers will come one or other day for sure!

2. Terrible design:
Invest some money on buying premium themes like Thesis or Genesis, their coding is so simpler and easy which can make your blog to take next level.
Make your readers easily to read your content. Don’t make your blog design complex! If you strain their eyes, they will go away.
If you can’t afford premium themes, just make use of minimalist themes like pagelines etc.
They look simple and easy to read the content without having any strain.

3. You don’t network:
Creating valuable content alone is not enough, you must network with others in your niche. Spend some time to respond to your comments, email others to read your content, be in touch with your readers etc.
Blogging becomes much easier when you have like minded people around your network. If you have unique tone and content, you can absolutely stand out from the crowd to make a difference.
You don’t need to be creative marketer to network with others. Just focus on Win/Win approach i.e give and take policy.
It works better when you network with others. Try to help them and solve their problems, surely you will make positive impact on them.

4. You spend time on wrong things!!
Instead of spending your time on blog commenting for 2 to 3 hours, spend that time to write quality guest posts for others. It can do wonders.
I’m not saying to stop blog commenting. But if you have less time to blog, spend time productively. And this is the best way to build your blog fast.
Guest blogging gives you:
- Relationships with the author
- Subscribers
- You can steal their readers
- Attract more traffic
- Back links
- You can be everywhere!

Here is a snapshot of Danny Iny’s traffic in his first year of blogging.
And look at him now! He is almost everywhere in the blogosphere. How does he made it? The credit goes to guest blogging!

Over to you
What are the suggestion would you give to build a better blog?
Note from Ammar: Hurray! I’m so excited to announce that this is the 200th post on my blog. All the credit goes to you. Without YOU I can’t reach this position so fast. As you all know that I started this blog just about 6 months back. And it has been growing super fast from then with your support. Thanks for your love and I will promise you that I can do more better for you in the upcoming days.

I believe that creating quality content on the regular basis is not an easy task,It requires some special effort and hard work,this is the reason I think most of the bloggers quit,anyways thanks for sharing this amazing post and congrats Ammar for your 200th post.

Yes Ashish, creating high quality content at regular pace is not an easy task. It takes lots of effort but it worth & works in the long run!
Rahul Kuntala recently posted..Why Do People Unsubscribe from Your Mailing Lists(And What Can You Do About It)
Hey Ashish…i believe that creating quality content on regular basis need to be looked this way. Say, if you are professional blogger and have mastered the writing skills,then it shouldn’t be difficult as Rahul Kuntala does. Secondly, if you are new and just trying around to get a taste of things, then its time its time to have a strong content development strategy in place where you are learning and building a community with the help of fellow bloggers. Also congrats Ammar!!
Satish Patel recently posted..Giveaway #1–Participate and Win Thesis 2.0 this Chrismas
You are right Ashish, most bloggers quit and abandon their blog because of not getting results which they dreamed of. Most of them think blogging is a get rich quick scheme and sadly fails.
And, Its better if you build up a powerful and strong online presence.
Right?

Rahul Kuntala recently posted..4 Things You Can Do to Make Your Blog Stand Out
Hello Rahul,
I believe that if your blog provides solution to people’s problem then the growth of your blog is fixed. It will get viral, because people will always have problem, what they don’t have is solution. Provide that solution on your blog. I’m sure your blog will grow…
And as far as blog design is concerned I like simple and elegant blog design not with many flashy things.. While many blogger run for high functionality, ad crowdy, well monetizing themes which annoys readers and make them hit back button because your blog design is medium which delivers your message. So because of a bad design you will lose your message.
BTW, Awesome post…..

Great article, it seems like people do tend to get carried away just talking about them instead of focusing on the interest of their readers. You need to realize that your readers are what make your blog successful, and them coming back makes it even better for you. Readers should be kept happy while maintaining the integrity of your blogs original message.
Informative and interesting which we share with you so i think so it is very useful and knowledgeable. I would like to thank you for the efforts. I am tiring the same best work from me in the future as well.

Newbie bloggers must have some idea,techniques and some patience otherwise waste of time.
One of the reason for this is also concentrating more for bots and not for Readers, my experience and trial/error method tells me that we should always write for people that’s what blogging about.
