Powerful Secret #1 Create Powerful Headlines For New Bloggers
For new bloggers as well as veteran bloggers it is important
to write a compelling headline. Having a compelling
headline will draw your visitor to open up your article and
read it. This means that your visitor will stay on your
website/blog longer and possible continue reading other
articles. Using your keywords as part of your compelling
headlines will also help with SEO, which means getting
your article indexed in Google and other search engines.
You need to know your target audience and what type of
language that appeals to them. Get into the mind of your
target audience and you have the words that will work for
them. Remember there are no shortcuts here. You have to figure out your precise audience and write
directly to the way those people feel.

2. Powerful Secret #2 Submit Your Article to Directories For New Bloggers
Ok, I know what you’re thinking, I really do. You’re thinking
why would I submit my articles to directories when I just posted
it to my website/blog! Right…see I know you were. Submitting
your articles to the top directories helps to brand YOU and to get
you and your website/blog out in the search engines.
The article directories have a high page rank in the search
engines and your article will get indexed in Google and other
search engines quicker. EzineArticles is where I first submitted
my articles and they have a very high rating with the search
engines. I’m now considered an “Expert Author” which is great.
There are several other directories that you can submit your post
to but start with ExinzeArticles first and then submit to the others. Submitting your articles will give you
back links to your website/blog.
Powerful Secret #3 Make Use of Social Media For New Bloggers
Using Social Media as a marketing strategy in your
website/blog is very important to new bloggers. Social
Media is all the buzz and is very important for viral
marketing your website/blog. It helps to spread the word
about your website/blog, posts and your business. It is
online marketing at its best.
When you have visitors to your website/blog and you give
them a means to share your post to others that is viral
marketing. Using a Facebook and/or Twitter plugin gives
your visitors an easy way to help “advertise” your business.
Using social networking is a like a big neon sign which speaks volumes about your website/blog saying

Powerful Secret #4 Use Ping Techniques For New Bloggers
Ping techniques? What? As a new blogger I realize that there
are so many new ideas, terms and things that must be
completed to building your website/blog. Now don’t worry
you will learn what you need when you need it. So, what is
pinging and why should you ping your website/blog?

3. In a nutshell pinging your website/blog allows you to notify or inform Google, other search engines and
directories that your site has been updated. It’s like raising that red flag telling search engines that you
have something new on your website/blog, come and see! Now you only want to ping your site once a
day and evening would be the best time. Here is just one site that I would recommend, pingler.com it’s
free and easy.
Powerful Secret #5 Use Powerful Plugins For New Bloggers
There are many different plugins and it can be confusing to new
bloggers to decide which ones are the best and just why you
would use them. If you are using WordPress and I highly
recommend that you use WordPress to build your website/blog
you can take advantage of some great plugins like “relevant posts”
or “most popular posts.”
The names tell what they are. These are placed at the end of each
post helping your visitors to know of some other great posts you
have on your site. Also social networking plugins such as Twitter
and Facebook are a couple of other great plugins to add to your
website/blog. Plugins will make your blog more interactive and
will also allow your visitors to find things easier!
Powerful Secret #6 Write For Low Relevant Competitive Keywords For New Bloggers
YIKES! Keywords, low competitive keywords what is this you may
be asking? For new bloggers this can be kind of scary, but don’t worry
it can be something to learn and accomplished. Yes, even by you!
(ha!) Keyword research is the most important part of blogging and
writing your posts. You need to do some research on your keywords
for your niche.
Make sure they are relevant to what your blogging about. Keyword
research needs to be completed before you do any writing because you
don’t want to waste your time on something that is not going to work.
You want to write for the low competitive keywords because it will be
easier to get Google and other search engines to index your article.

4. Powerful Secret #7 Post Comments On Others Blogs For New Bloggers
With this powerful secret for new bloggers it can’t be stressed
enough the importance to visit other blogs in your niche. First
you want to see what your competition is doing. Second you
want to read their posts and make a comment. Make sure that
your comment is relevant and meaningful not just thanks for
sharing.
Give your reason why you like or did not like the post and be
honest but not nasty. The third reason for making comments is it
gives you a back link to your website. The best back link effort
comes from getting a prominent blogger to put your url into his
blogroll.
Powerful Secret #8 Use Pictures and Videos For New Bloggers
The use of pictures and videos in websites/blogs is another new blogger
must do. The reason is Google and other search engines really favor the
use of videos and pictures in website/blogs. Video marketing is a hot item
now is they are easy for you to produce yourself.
The best videos are produced from your own recording effort and putting
in your own keywords for great SEO. However, you can still use others
videos in your posts if you need or want. There is nothing wrong with
using other people’s videos as long as the video works with your niche.
Powerful Secret #9 Blogging Tools Free Online Resources For New Bloggers
Many expert bloggers have several blogging
tools in their arsenal to help separate their
blog from the rest. This is an area that the
experts don’t want new bloggers it know or
to have in their tool belts. Being a successful
blogger requires work, understanding that
success does not happen overnight and to learn to how to find great resources.
Being noticed about the expert bloggers comes with determination, investment of time, improving your
skills and to remember to remain on the cutting edge. A couple great resources to use on your
website/blog is Google Analytics and some great SEO tools. All in One SEO is a great one to use with
WordPress.

5. Powerful Secret #10 Learn From Your Mistakes For New Bloggers
To me this is the most important secret for new bloggers
to remember. I have been there and have made many
mistakes however; I have learned from these mistakes
and have improved my websites/blogs because of these
mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, remember that!
You may not realize that you made or make mistakes.
You start blogging and work hard to get your
website/blog going and don’t get any results. What you
are doing is repeating some common mistakes. If you’re
not making mistakes on your website/blog then you’re
not working! You need to invest time on your
website/blog. If something is not working, then change it, tweak it and then give it time to see if it works.
New bloggers need to remember that blogging involves planning and plenty of work to be successful.
Learning the blogging secrets from the expert bloggers is fundamental to separating a good blogger from
the thousands of other good bloggers.
Experts do not want other bloggers to know these secrets for one simple reason…you’re their
competition. Their competition will grow and then make their task more difficult to stay on top.
