Tips : 70 Tips On How To Be A Better Blogger

1. Domain Name - Get yourself your own Domain Name. Having your own domain name (e.g. ‘YourBlog.com’) is infinitely better than having a free one (e.g. ‘YourBlog.Blogspot.com’). Not only will it look more professional, but you will attract much more traffic. The best domain names are descriptive of what your website is about. But I don't care for it because I know the reasons why I choose my name and blogspot.

2. Website Hosting - Host your site with a professional Hosting company. I know what you’re thinking… “I can’t afford a website at the moment and why should I have to pay when there are sites like Blogger.com?”  The truth is, you never really own your content with free hosting sites and it could be taken away in an instant. All your hard work will be gone and you have absolutely no control. Search engines often ignore these sites all together and visitors may doubt your credibility. You get much more control over your website by using a professional hosting company and it looks a lot better to your site visitors. But for me, I not use any hosting because I blogging since 2012 and I not sure to take any hosting. So maybe next year I host.

3. WordPress - You’re using WordPress for your blog, aren’t you? WordPress is the best blogging platform available to use to manage your blog site and best of all it’s completely free. I not use wordpress because I prefer to use blogspot and I say no to wordpress. I have my own secret why I choose it.

4. WordPress Theme - Use a good quality WordPress theme! Sites like WooThemes & StudioPress offer high quality WordPress themes to its users. This makes your site look and feel more professional to your readers, which will cause them to trust you more. People do judge a book by its cover, so having a sharp looking website helps readers stick around for longer. I no need this because I use blogspot.
