Many of these blog owner got success in blogging and some did not. The main reason behind those who are not able to get success in blogging is that they do not even know on which topic they want to write a blog.

They start writing articles of all categories on their blog, due to which their blog is not able to rank, that’s why they do not get success in blogging. If you want to be successful in blogging, for that you should write a post on a single category / topic on your blog .Then your blog will target only specific category users which is good for SEO and Google will also rank these Type such blog quickly.

You should choose the topic of your blog about which you have good knowledge like if you have knowledge related to technology then you can make your blog on Tech Related topic. If you have good knowledge about Smartphones, then you should create a blog only on smartphone related topic .

In the initial days of blogging, you have to work hard, if you do not Like and Enjoying what you are doing then you will not be able to continue for long Time and Give-up on Blogging after sometime. If you not like writing then you can hire a Content Writer to write a blog post for you , but this way it may take a long time for you to get success.

2 . Choose your blog name

If you have decided the topic for your blog, then through this you can choose the name of your blog. Topic contributes a lot in choosing the name of the blog.

If you want to put content related to technology on your blog, then you should Add some word related to Tech or Technology in the name of your blog. As the name of my blog is Techy Troops, I have used Tech Word in my blog name That’s why I write Content Related to Tech or Technology .

If the name of your blog is related to your blog topic then it is better in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), this increases the chances of your blog getting ranked quickly.

Like if the topic of your blog is related to blogging, then you can name your blog as Guide Blogging, Pro Blogging . This way your blog name will be on the topic of your blog, that help your blog to rank quickly in Google .

But It is not necessary that your blog name should be on the topic of your blog. If you want you can also blog with your name, this will increase the value of your name and you will be able to do your own branding which is also called Personal Branding today.

There are many People who not use any topic related word in there blog name but still they are successful today , so it is up to you . if you already decided your blog name then its fine but if not then try to use topic related word in your blog name .

For Example Neil Patel Sir, who is the owner of www.Neilpatel.com, He made a blog on his own name but the topic of the blog is digital marketing.
The surprising thing is that There is nothing related to digital marketing in both the name and the URL of his blog, but still today he is one of the top digital marketers because He did his own branding which is called Personal Branding.
