If your blog is doing well, you will surely gain more readerships and make money if you are monetizing it.
However, starting a new blog or developing an existing one can frustrate you if you are new to blogging. The main reason being it may look like you are not achieving your objectives.
Successful bloggers know that building a reliable and efficient blog will require time, effort, and hard work.
I am a new blogger, and I am working hard to achieve my dreams in blogging. Many new bloggers lose hope entirely or seriously slow down their activity and leave their blogs unattended.
What are the Signs of a Successful Blog?
Ask any successful bloggers, and they will say it has not been an easy journey all along. New bloggers feel like they are not progressing when they don’t see results, but in my opinion, the blog is doing well.
Hopefully, if you are progressing and doing the right thing, you will start realizing your growth and achievements, but many don’t see this process happening.
Below I have written ten signs to show you that your blog is doing well. If several of these signs are relevant to you, never give up, especially when the accomplishments are slower than your expectations.
After all, if you give your blog some extra time and continue working hard, you will achieve your goals in time.
Increasing Numbers of Useful Comments
If your blog receives a suitable figure of inspiring comments, it shows a good sign that people are reading, following, and paying attention to it.
Comments are the vital signs of a blog’s progression, and bloggers with helpful comments from the audience become even more valuable and reach more readers. However, you should note that comments will increase if your blog receives significant traffic from readers.
Increase in Subscribers Count Shows your Blog is Doing Well
If you have visitors subscribing to your blog, no matter how slow it is, then you are progressing well. Gaining trust from subscribers is difficult, so do not give yourself high hopes if it’s your first time blogging.
Well, I can assure you that if your subscribers increase, you will likely benefit from your progress by blogging consistently.
I have found that successful bloggers have ways and tactics for convincing their audience to subscribe to their blogs. They mainly do so through the free services and products they give their readers.
Many blogs provide pop-ups with irresistible products that convince you to provide your email. Probably, most readers don’t realize they are indirectly subscribing to their email lists as they receive the products.
A Growing Network of Bloggers
Networking is most likely an essential feature of blogging outside of content development. If you frequently associate with other bloggers and strengthen your relationships, you will be in the perfect position for your future.
Forming a network will help you discover a lot from them and get helpful and loyal readers. You will also increase in inbound links, gain more votes from social media, and so forth hence do well with your blog.
A Growing Number of Inbound Links
Links are essential for the growth of any blog. The main reason is they help with click-through traffic, recognition, and search engine rankings.
For new or professional bloggers, incoming links represent your popularity in your industry and imply that your blog is doing well. Your links will also grow as you become acknowledged as an authority.
Increasing Visitors, Page views, and Page Views Per Visit
Many bloggers inspect their blog stats to track their blog growth. Even though traffic growth does not always meet or surpass your blogging goals, it is worth checking.
Hopefully, your blog stats will grow as readers gradually visit and subscribe to your blog.
Improving the Quality of Articles
The quality of articles will always become a rather personal issue. But I think many bloggers can check their archives and get an idea of how their quality has improved over time. I have read a few posts on professional bloggers saying they got embarrassed by the low-level quality of their posts as they were starting.
Well, I can assure you that blog growth gets natural when you become more well-informed about your topics. Also, it grows when you learn more about writing and blogging.
Just check back at how the quality of your writing has improved with different articles. I think you will be motivated to persist and reap the results in the future.
As an excellent practice, you can hire an editor to proofread your posts and then compare the final content with your posts. This process will make you write better-quality articles in the future without mistakes.
Achievement of Goals Shows Your Blog is Doing Well
Many bloggers have long-term objectives. For example, some intend to make a living blogging or obtaining 10,000 subscribers, and so forth. However, most of them lack short-term goals to assist them in choosing the required steps toward those long-term objectives.
If you set monthly targets for subscribers, blogging revenue, traffic, etc., never lose hope when you fail to meet the long-term goals immediately.
First, fulfill your short-term goals as you progress. After some time, you will be amazed at how fast you experience progressive results.
Consistent Posting
If you post consistently on your blog, you are already ahead of other bloggers who never post. It seems pretty straightforward, but regular posting is a big challenge for bloggers, especially beginners, who never get results.
With consistent posts, it won’t be long before good things start happening as you achieve your goals. As a result, your blog traffic will start increasing.
The Capacity to Outline Your Niche Clearly
One of the most ignored points when creating a new blog is the ability to outline the target audience accurately.
However, with time, you will learn the type of content your readers want and when they fail to respond. Later you will most likely realize where you fit best into your niche.
Identifying your place and developing a blog appealing to your target audience is crucial for branding. Also, if you know exactly where your niche fits, you are on the right track to success.
You Have Some Knowledge of Persuading Targeted Readers to Your Blog
When you progress in blogging, you learn more about generating traffic and making people recognize and read your posts. Even if you have one particular way that continuously helps you to impact your target audience, you have a better advantage than most bloggers.
For instance, you could have spent time guest posting on other blogs in your niche or had success with leaving relevant comments on other blogs. Also, you could have created a compelling profile on a social media website with a particular niche.
Whatever knowledge you have is something you can keep using in the future. You will then be a step closer to finding success in blogging.
