#2. Imagine beyond your blog

If you really want to maximize your blogging exposure, you need to think beyond or outside your blog. You need to look out for bloggers who have gone ahead of you in the blogging world, get ready to learn at their feet and be willing to follow their path of success.

If you're such a narrow-minded blogger who does not grab from other bloggers, know that you won't be able to stay long in blogging. The competition is very high these days and, so, you won't be standing any chance of ranking your blog in search engines at all. You will get frustrated in the end and will surely call it a quit.

In order for you never to quit, start taking note of these blogging fundamentals and build your blogging business on them. You will become successful. And you will be glad.

#3. Build a community

Building a community on your blog is a fundamental strategy to increase traffic to your overall blog.

People naturally like to have a platform whereby they can express their minds, express what is currently happening to them, share their problems with other people who they think might help them out, spell out particular challenges which they are facing and lots more.

In order to maximize this chance of pulling out enough traffic to your blog, start up a community right on your personal site by using the WordPress plugin directory. Choose a suitable community plugin, activate and install on your site. Create a custom menu for your activated community and you're good to go.
