I recently read an article by Blogging Your Passion titled, "7 Habits of Successful Bloggers." As a newbie to the blog world, I found many of these tips helpful. I will touch on my top three favorites.
Habit #1: They Understand the Importance of Valuing Keyword Research
In the article, it discusses the importance of knowing what the people in your niche are keyword searching. Being familiar with their keyword searches, will allow you as a blogger to be able to produce content that your blogging community wants to read. I hope to familiarize myself more with what the people in my niche are looking for in the areas of fashion, beauty, pop culture, travel, etc.
Habit #2: They Produce Quality Content on a Consistent Basis
I believe this is the most difficult habit for bloggers to develop. Why? We're busy. Although blogging consistently is a difficult habit to form, I believe it will lead to the most success for your blog. People want to be inspired and want to read quality work. The more people you want to inspire, the more quality and consistency you must give your blog.
Habit #3: They Are Always Promoting
Connect. Connect. Connect. It's important for bloggers to not only promote through social media, but also through other bloggers. The article offers many suggestions for promoting. Two of my favorite tips were asking to be guest bloggers on other blog sites and to connect with people who have products in your niche.
Now a question for you: What successful habit as it relates to blogging has helped you?

These Are a Few of My Favorite Blogs
 |
Atlantic Pacific is the quintessential style guide. I have followed this blog for several years now via Pinterest. Atlantic Pacific offers chic looks for 20 somethings. With the use of a fabulous professional photographer, Blair Eadie creates classic Audrey Hepburn-esque looks with a twist.
KandeeJ is a celebrity make up artist. She features all of her favorite products and looks on her youtube channel. I have tried many of her make up tips and tricks over the years. Her videos and blog posts will not only give you the best make up ideas, but will also brighten your day!
Humans of New York is such a powerful blog. It presents so many beautiful, personal stories of New Yorkers. The creator of Humans of New York, Brandon, began this blog in Summer 2010. The interviews are impromptu. Brandon simply walks up to individuals on the street and asks them questions. The result is magical. The two little girls featured above were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. Their response? "A dolphin saver."
