Let get back to the matter; How to become a professional blogger in this new year 2018.

A Professional Blogger is a person who blogs for a living. Just like a professional, a professional blogger is one who can support themselves and their family with the income generated through their online properties and their blog(s).


Be Unique
Uniqueness should be the watch word of every blogger regardless of the niche. A blogger must stand out off other bloggers who keep their eyes on other blogs to steal their contents. It doesn't matter the number of posts you have on your blog. A useless blog is the one with countless contents but still dont succeed why? beause the author is not creative. A blogger must be capable of exploring new idea, ready to learn for him to get new knowledge on his selected niche. A blogger should not be ready to steal contents from other blogs as it lowers search engines ranking the two blogs. A professional blogger will always want to share new and fresh contents always without being copied from other blogs.


Write detailed and Quality article
Before writing you have to do what is called keyword, the keyword is essential before writing a post because it determines a post’s title.
As bloggers use to say and we all know, Content is the king, so you have to make sure you don’t copy posts and images.
Google loves fresh and new content if it can be possible write what others bloggers
have written before.
Hence, you should write quality
posts.
And also make sure your post are well written and they are long, your post must be at least 300words. there is no maximum, you can write 5000words, as for me I chose my own minimum as 1000words.

Gain Readers trust
Gaining readers trust is a kind of a wild tought for some bloggers but it shouldn't be so, once you are passionate in your feild. Your blog Readers will only trust your you when you delivered a great content on your blog and it help solving their problems. It is advisable to bloggers no matter what your niche is all about to always look through how their readers will have their trust in them.
Let them have a trust in you so that they wouldn't be shy to drop their details on your blog. One of the elements that could help readers have a trust in you is to deliver problem solving content, create contact page so as to let them track you when ever they needed you and most of all the creation of privcy policy page where you state how readers informations will be collected and be secured.

Engage in social communities
In a proverb "A strange hand can not lift an hefty load". You may be a professional in your niche but mind you you can never know everything. There will some lapses in you where you will need a pro like you to put you through. Even MARK ZUK. facebook owner not to talk of Bills Gate the owner of Microsoft. You call yourself a professional blogger doing it all alone without even a single interaction with fellow bloggers. There are many blogging communities you can join where you can state the kind of heck problems you've get and people of the same interest with yours will provide solution to such problems.


Optimise your blog
Optimizing blogger blog is a complicated topic on his own. It is the practice which makes search engines spiders crawl a blog which will make it earn organic traffic from search engines. A well optimized blog finds its way on search engine first page. I have combine the best tutorials on SEO you can read from.

Get your self on the right niche
Many bloggers and blog have fall in my hands here and later failed and their dream of becoming a professional blogger will be ruined. Once a blogger should be able to get him or herself on the right niche such blogger will definitely succeeded in no time.
Getting your self on the right niche has something to do with passion and proffession. Passion is what you loved doing most. Someone who follow the trends on mobile will definitely have adequate informtion about mobile stuff. A student of computer software became a blogger sharing programming codes to people over the internet in fact he even teaches poeple how to code and becoming a codder. Hence you can get yourself on the right niche based on your passion and proffession.

Do give-aways
Free stuff is also part of the story of becoming a professional blogger in no time
1. Readers will trust
2. They will consider you as a guru in your niche
3. They will always listen to your instructions
4. They will consult your before doing anything as far as blogging is concerned
5. They will urge to respond to your links when you refer them to signup through a link.
You can give free blogs, freenom domains (.tk, .ml, .ga, .in, .ke...) to start with.
You can give out free books, free blog services, and anything you might even think of.

Get ready to learn
You're a professional blogger yes people know you are. They knew your bpog ranks more on search engine but the question is that are you ready to learn from others? Blogging is a wide course on its own no one can know everything A-Z about it, one will still have some lakings you will need to consult people or search engines. A blogger will  definitely fail if he or she fails to learn or xplore new ideas.

Lower yourself
You look yourself as guru then it gives you the pride to be proud to others. You level down others when they contact you, they seek your help you don't shorn them. I remember one of chat history with a pro blogger see the screen shot

Don't be too proud if you want to be a sucessful blogger in 2018
