If you want to create a profitable blog, the most important key is to make your blog popular.
So what does a popular blog mean?
If your blog gets little traffic, your blog won’t make money. Your blog needs readers. If your blog has a lot of readers, no matter what service you offer, you will be successful. Because of this, making your blog popular and growing your readership should be one of your main concerns.
Now, let’s see how to make your blog more popular.

Make your writing or service should be the one what you want and what your readers want to know about.
1. Kow your readers.
You need to consider who your readers are, and for whom you are writing. Your readers who find your blog, have interests similar to yours. So, for something that interests you, you always write articles that offer solutions.
That’s how you gain niche affiliation and find potential customers in the highly competitive blogging market.
2. Add the value of life to your writing
Readers are looking for topics that are relevant and interesting to them.
You need to make sure that what you write is interesting. And that it fits your sensibilities and trends.
Popular blogs are never boring and add value to the lives of their readers through information or entertainment.
However, don’t forget to check your grammar and spelling before publishing an article.
You must also maintain the consistency of the topic. For example, if you suddenly write about gardening on a travel topic, readers at the time will leave your blog.
3. Drive traffic
There are many ways on how to drive traffic.
The methods of optimizing a website or blog for a search engine and methods of using a network are the main ones.
There are many more, but I will post them later.
Nowadays, many people share information through social media and form a network.
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube are representative, and there are many other social media. You can also use it to promote your writing. This is a way to get readers to your site or blog by linking your thumbnail.
If you live in the US, Reddit and MySpace are also good social platforms.
Also, if you are in Korea, Kakao or Band is a good platform. It is recommended to base on your locally active platform.
4. Professionally structured blog posting convert best
Readers tend to scan their screens for relevant information rather than reading every word in a nutshell, so you should break your posts into smaller paragraphs with headings whenever possible. Make sure the color contrast isn’t too high and the text is easy to read. With good design, your blog is aesthetically pleasing and your readers are more likely to come back and stay on your page.
It also helps to optimize the search engine, so your article is more likely to be exposed on top of the search engine. See the blog post template.
5. Create a website using WordPress.
A well-designed website in a way that will help you bring traffic to your blog.
In fact, content matters most, and if you have great content, you have traffic.
But now, in line with the trend of the visual era, site design is also important.
I prefer a design that is simple yet easy to see information at a glance, and a design that is not slow to load.
It should also be unique with a consistent font or color.

6. Optimize your blog for search engines.
Search engine optimization is important to monetize your blog. Register on the Google Search Console.
Your blog is indexed by search engines. The higher the ranking of your blog, the more visitors you get and the more popular it becomes.
Final Thought
When you’re ready, focus on marketing to grow your readership. Even if you post an advertisement for monetization, if there is no magnifying glass, you cannot do it.
I have a successful blog on the Korean platform for monetization. And now I have this site focus on the international area.
I have searched many bloggers but they are advertising their e-books or course for beginners. However, I found that most of them did not share their beginner’s stage to struggle to get traffic in detail.
Therefore, I am starting to write how I get the traffic and slowly monetizing my site.
In conclusion, monetizing blog could be long term project. And I would like to say “Don’t give up”.
If you have 30-50 or more of your articles and these articles are optimised, please register with Google Adsense to start monetising.
Following this article, in the next part, I will upload Google Adsense and other monetisation methods as a series.
