1. Select the right niche for your brand

What is it about choosing the right niche for your brand? How relevant is that to your online success? Did you know that a lot of those people who eventually quit blogging found themselves in that mess as a result of choosing the wrong niche from the onset.

What next would they do when they couldn't write anything anymore? They chose another person's niche instead of theirs. Your niche must be centered on what you can write a lot about. It has to be an idea that flows freely right in your brain. Then, you can work towards becoming successful.

We discussed earlier that blogging requires a lot of content creation and once you are not blogging based on what you know, there are no traces of success for you at all.

2. Publish guest posts and become an authority

If you are just starting out with a blog, you need to understand the fact that getting your success takes some time and effort. Once you've determined to become successful with your blog with time, it warrants that you consistently build out your blog with quality and informative content.

As you move on building out your blog with quality, not with quantity, be rest assured that guest post invitations will find you when you don't expect. This is how it works. You wouldn't ever expect to wake up one day and see things happen miraculously but you simply make things happen by investing effort, time and little spending.

3. Visit "Question and Answer" sites like Quora and pick a few questions relevant to your niche to answer

Have you tried working on sites like Quora, Yahoo Answers and the likes? Quora is strong enough to help you get lots of high quality links for Google Page Rank. By consistently answering relevant questions on Quora, you'll start building high quality links and this will help you get a first Page Rank in Google soonest.

Quora is a free "Question and Answer" platform that is popularly known for link building. Can link building be eradicated from Google ranking signals? Never! This is because search engines focused not on your content alone but most importantly on the quality of people that linked to your pages at one time or the other as well as audience / visitor engagement.

So, when people link to and visit your site frequently, search engines begin to notice your site, believe that you have good and informative content to offer and improve your site in search results.
