What makes blogs so popular? Is it the thing you’re selling, the way you write your blogs or your personality?
So which are the most popular blogs?
The blogs that have some of the following credits:
One: A personal side of your life:
- People want to feel your passion and enthusiasm.
- People can relate to personal experiences. Especially if it’s something they have experienced or are experiencing presently.

- Sailed the open seas in a small boat and the places you visited while on your voyage.
Seven: Internet technology and optimum marketing:
People get to the point when they realize they aren’t getting enough people going to their websites to buy their products. Why have a website if it’s not working for them.
It’s like have an empty or mystery shop in the wrong place, and no one knows where it is or what’s selling there. So they are looking for information on how to up the trend of their sites and improve their sales.

Everyone wants to be up-to-date, whether its fashion, decor or technology.
- How to look slim when you know you have a weight problem.
- How to throw a party on a slim budget, etc.
So what is your niche topic?
It may not be one of the above because we don’t all have the same talents, skills, hobbies or interests. This naturally affects what you write about and display on your website. And you may not have any knowledge of the above subjects either.
But like myself, been an artist, art websites aren’t popular! But there are other ways of going about it. You can select some of those above qualities to make your own website trend.
To do that, you need to consider:
What is the basic purpose of your topic or website’s theme? Who are you aiming at? What are their basic needs and emotional relationship to that topic?
And if you re-read the above, you will see additional things you can do to make your ‘product’ stand out from the others in your niche and put it out in front. For example:
What are people really craving? A secret or fact no one knows about, that will improve people’s skill or lifestyle out there?
What appeals most to people? Is it exciting or fun to do? Can they take the adventure with you? Can you make your website… THE Place to be?
What is the value of your topic to others?
- Is it shareable, visual, brief, fun, trendy, original, and or informative?
- Is it inexpensive to buy and quick to make or do? What is the quality of your product?
- Does it answer FAQ questions? Is it something people really want to know about?
- Does it have a human factor? Something people can relate to?
- What are your visuals like? Beautiful, dynamic, dramatic, action packed?
- What are your demos and diagrams like? Are they understandable and manageable?
Conclusion:
You make the difference: Your topic may be popular, but it’s how you present it, that makes the difference and how it trends!
