But they don’t just share the links of their contents through their Promotional Channels.

They go beyond that (lazy) link sharing technique.

They prepare customized contents for every promotional channel (based on the original contents published on their blogs).

Here is how can you promote your contents more effectively.

Select the Promotional Channels very carefully. You may consider to promote your contents through Social Media (like Facebook, Twitter, etc.), Influencer Outreach, Offline (Your Business Card, Leaflet, etc.) and many other channels.

6. They Show Up, Connect, Travel (and Help):

This one is another self-explanatory common trait of successful bloggers.

Almost each and every successful blogger (at least those I know) does not want to miss an important Industry Event.

They love to attend Blogging and Content Marketing Seminars, Events, Boot-camps and anything like them.

They also like to meet new people, connect with other bloggers and content marketers.

They understand the idea of being Omni-Present very well.

And Yes. Travel.

They just love to travel worldwide.

They like to live their lives as Digital Nomads.

In addition to this, the Successful Bloggers are extremely helpful.

When I started my Professional Blogging Career, I got unconditional help from various bloggers like Harsh Agarwal, Kulwant Nagi, Neil Patel and more others.

Actually, I think without having these traits, people can’t become successful in blogging and content marketing.

Here is how you can master these traits too.

Step-1:

List down Top-30 Successful Blogs of your Industry and get connected with the bloggers behind them via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

7. They Believe in Long Run:

Professional blogging is not a Quick Hit or Miss Game.

Successful bloggers know and understand this really very well.

Unlike most people, professional bloggers are extremely patience.

They can wait until the last.

However, they do not believe in luck.

Instead, they do believe in Smart Work.

For example, professional content marketers like to spend most of their working hours in creating better contents for their readers than to check their affiliate income accounts every now and then.

Hope you got my point.

Here is how you can become a Long Runner in Blogging.

Step-1:

Try hard to control your mind in order to get better focus on work that matters most.

Step-2:

Prepare a Daily To-Do List and be stick to it. In other words, don’t give yourself time to “Do Nothing”.

Step-3:

Stop checking your dashboards including Google Analytics, Facebook Insights, Affiliate Accounts etc daily. Instead, make a schedule for checking them all. For example, you can check all your dashboards every weekends.

Step-4:

Never give up. If your stats do not meet your expectations, try to define the exact issue and fix the same. There is (absolutely) no magic or luck factor. A professional Blog Consultancy Service can really help you in this step.

8. They Experiment (and Try New Things):

Traits of Super Successful Bloggers Experiment Image (www.ethicalblogging.com)

Professional bloggers love to try new things out.

And they love to perform experiments with their blogs and content marketing efforts.

Because they always strive for the betterment.

If you closely follow any successful blogger for a few days, you will surely explore this matter for yourself.

The subject of their experiment might be as minor as a few Images Compression or, as major as the whole Domain Change.

For example, the famous Productivity Coach Timo Kiander changes his blog name from “Productive Superdad” to “Smart Productive Work” a few months ago.

And I am pretty sure this big change was the result of one or more constructive experiments by Timo and his team.

So here is how you can continue experiment with your blogs too:

Step-1:

Find a True Purpose of your blogging experiment. For example, you may want to try something new to Increase the size of your E-Mail Subscribers List or to Boost Your SERP Ranking or something else like this.

Step-2:

List down, arrange (and learn how to use) the tools you need to start your new experiment right away.

Step-3:

Backup your blog completely and securely before trying anything new on it.

Step-4:

Finally, start the actual experiment and keep track of the results you are getting. If possible try a A/B Split Testing Service for making things easier.

Almost all the successful bloggers are avid readers.

They read (or at least try to read) almost everything published in their niche.

However, they read super fast and super effectively.

Because they are super readers.

Another thing about their traits that attracts me most, is their open-mindness to learn every moment and from everyone possible.

Although they learn by themselves for most of the times from different free resources available to them, they also invest in multiple online (and offline) courses that ca help them to boost their productivity.

Here is how you can master these traits easily.
