The Best Blogging Advice Of All Time
People ask me all the time what it takes to become a successful blogger. For years I struggled with that question, because there were so many different things that made one successful in blogging. But over the years, I have found one aspect of blogging that every successful blogger I know from Seth Godin to Linda Ikeji possessed early on when they started. It is an aspect that has made them as successful as they are now and it is one that every upcoming blogger needs to adhere to. It is it to me the best blogging advise of all time and it is this:
If you write a blog post and nobody comments on it, keep writing…
If you pour your heart and soul into a blog entry and nobody retweets it, keep writing…
If you craft the perfect blog post and nobody facebook likes it, keep writing…
If you write the best blog article ever and people tell you it is whack [Including your Mum], keep on writing…
Because success in blogging is not determined by the amount of comments, retweets or likes that you get, but rather by the passion you have for blogging. And provided you keep on writing…you passion will pull you through to success!
Wishing You Extreme Success,

A good friend gave me the same advice when I first started writing on FB in 2008. Eventually the comments started rolling in and the fanbase grew. But the writing must never stop!
Yes o! The writing is the key!
Thanks Ofili for stopping by my blog …. I’ve made some changes tho and i’m loving it:)
Omozino…thanks for stopping by mine as well!

In other words, you must be “relentless” with blogging, right? Solid advice. Plus, it actually works!
Yep! you must relentlessly build your blog! lol…
thanks for the inspiration, Ofili;)
Your so welcome!
been blogging for the past 3 months and am beginning to lost passion for it because i don’t get comments and visitors. Also am trying to import my blog page to my web site but will never work. nice site u got here. cheers.
Hi Ejura, its at times like this you go back and remind yourself why you started the blog, I only just started mine so i’m yet to get discouraged. I do it to hone my writing skills, and so while comments and visitors are much appreciated, its not the main goal. Remember that the sun always comes out after the storm.
PS: what’s your blog address?
