No matter how good your blogs are, you need a good hosting for it. Newbies often overlook this and blame the content if they don’t get the desired results. I came across WPWebhost.com and since then I’ve been cursing myself, why didn’t I get this before? I am here writing this to make sure you get the best for your blogs.

People like me, who create lots of sites, will jump at the option to host with Wp WebHost because you can have lots of Websites on the same host. Other competitors, like Godaddy only let you have subdomains but this lets you fifty actual domains. It means fifty websites which depend on your 500 GBs of bandwidth and 50 Gbs of storage. Godaddy is more expensive too so we will recommend you to go with Wp WebHost.

For yearly subscription you will have to pay 6.67 a month ($80 a year), bi-yearly fee is $5 a month ($120 for 2 years), or you can go in for the one month subscription which costs $8 per month. You can tailor the plans according to your needs. We recommend you do this, because you pay for only what you need and nothing else.

Posting great blogs regularly is difficult and quite exhausting sometimes. I guess it perfectly okay to say that some days we don’t feel quite motivated to post an article. And if we do, it turns out to be bad post. It happens with everyone. It has happened with me many times. There are days when I don’t feel like opening my blog site.

Now, it isn’t that I don’t love my blogs. I love them as much as you do. And you know what, I have a secret that helps me to keep going and love my blogs, always. This secret can be used by you as well, when you feel low or uninterested.

Happiness

No, I am not a psychologist or a spiritual teacher. But I have learned one thing for sure that if you are happy, you are a good blogger. Don’t believe me? Try this. Write an article when you are very happy and post it. Keep writing and keep a note of which articles you wrote while you were happy. There will come a time when you aren’t quite happy or simply sad due to some reasons. Write an article and post it. You don’t really have to keep of note of this article because you will be reminded constantly by your readers through comments about the awfulness.

Yippee! It’s work time

In my opinion, blogging is a pretty cool work to do. Actually, I wouldn’t term it as ‘work’. It’s all about sharing, interacting, appreciating, and learning. And these things are best done when you are happy. Generally, except those sad days, I am quite excited to blog even before I switch on my desktop. It’s not work, it’s fun.

Future Envision

I left my job to take up blogging as my career. I hate the idea of working in an office or anywhere else to earn money. I didn’t want to sit a glass cabin and tally the balance sheet for the rest of my life. It was possible for me to quit because I saw the future. I asked myself how I would like to see my blog six months from now. I smiled. What about a year? I smiled again. That was my goal. And since that day, I haven’t stopped thinking about my aim and targets.

Everyday, before switching on my PC, I think about my goal, I think about my career. And guess what? I don’t need any other motivation to keep myself going. I work harder and happier.

However, I am talking about times, when you don’t feel like working because you aren’t happy. Here are some tips you can apply then. Or may be everyday.

Get ready to work

1. Pumping Music:
   For me, this is the best motivator, especially when I am a bit low. I listen to a couple of numbers that helps me get pumped up. Without this daily dose of music, I don’t feel quite ready to get started.
2. Boost your ego:
   I am not asking you to be very egoist one. However, you need to boost your ego when things aren’t going in the right direction. When I need it, I read the emails sent by readers or some very good comments that make me feel better about my work. This is necessary when you are down.
3. Celebrate every small success:
   The best way to keep going is celebrate and enjoy everything. If 4 readers subscribed for your blog overnight, rejoice and congratulate yourself. If your post receives 19 comments, jump and dance. Make a big deal about every small pleasure. If you won’t do it, slowly but surely, you become greedy. After some months, even 100 comments won’t satisfy you. Be content, be happy.
4. A Daily To-Do List:
   Make a to-do list for each day. Put down all the things that needs to be done, on paper. Include every small detail. I make a list every night for the coming day. And trust me, nothing is as motivating as check off something as done in your list. This will ensure that you are going in the right direction and working toward achieving your goal.
5. Your Role Model:
   Sometimes, when a pumping track or an ego boost doesn’t seem to work, I think about the person whom I admire. There are numerous such people in the world who are known for their success achievement. Pick any one of them and strive to be as successful as him.

What if you aren’t still happy?

How do you feel when you start working? Are you happy? Do you fell excited about your work or feel frustrated? If you don’t feel much good about your work, try these tips which I just mentioned.

Even after trying these things you can’t get interested, try a comprehensive self analysis and find out whether it’s blogging that you like or something else. It’s better to quit rather than doing something uninterestingly. In most of the cases, blogging isn’t the problem. It’s just the wrong topic.

What about you?

The whole article is my experience and my ways to get ready for work. It’s your turn now. How do you get ready for work? Do you get excited before starting your work or is it just a routine? Or do you have any better ways to get motivated and happy? We all work so differently, I am sure you have ample of ideas.

It’s a known fact that catchy titles or headlines grab readers’ attention and increase the traffic flow. However, this is the most neglected part and least focused one. Many articles have amazing content but the titles are so boring and dull that readers just don’t feel like wasting time following it. Also, the websites helping others to build a better blog doesn’t contain many articles about headlines. They will post 20 articles on content, whereas a single one on headline.

I always want to have a headline that smacks directly on the faces of my readers and induce them to read the article. I always want to generate headlines that force the casual web surfers to dig more and reach my blog to know what I have got to say. And I am always successful in doing so.

Remember, don’t create a headline before finishing the article.

Here are 10 tips that can help you to produce mind-blowing headlines:

1. Be Blunt:
   Be as blunt s you can. After all, it’s your blog that you are writing for. Moreover, readers are attracted by bold sentences rather than the simple old ones. You can use something like “You cannot be rich”. Now, after reading the headline, the reader is curious to know why he cannot be rich. The article describes the habits of normal people which don’t help them to be rich.
2. Make use of Powerful and Dynamic Words:
   English language offers various words that describes similar meaning but some more powerful than the other. Those are your words. Use them. Instead of ‘Important’, use ‘Crucial’. Instead of ‘Very Good’, use ‘Excellent’. There are many other words that quickly grab readers’ attention like AMAZING, MIND-BLOWING, SURE-FIRE, etc. Make use of them immeasurably.
3. Be Personal:
   A simple, descriptive content is quite boring. It becomes interesting when a personal touch is added. Similarly, a headlines becomes captivating if you add personal experience. For instance, “Why I Hate Bloggers” or “This is how I made 1 Million Dollars in a Month”. However, don’t make every article a personal one.
4. Be Concise:
   Having a headline with 57 words doesn’t mean it’s catchy. Make sure that that it never extends the limit of one line in your word file or WordPress preview. Why do you need long headlines? Keep it short. Let your reader differentiate between the headline and the content of your post.
5. Be Straight Forward and direct:
   You headline should be a diminutive representation of your content. Be straight and create a headline that describes about the post. A reader wouldn’t waste time in reading your post if he finds out that the content is completely irrelevant. They will feel cheated or duped and it’s most likely that they wouldn’t revisit your blog.
6. Asking a question:
   

   This always works. Ask a provocative question or a simple How To question, the reader, in most cases, reads your blog to find the answer, especially if it’s quite an inquisitive question. “Would you like to earn $10,000 every day?” The reader knows that he wouldn’t really unveil the secret, it’s just a trap. However, he/she reads the content due to curiosity.

7. Be Authoritative:
   This is a headline with command. Here, you order your reader to do something, without asking. Generally, readers aren’t interested if you are pleading them. Be authoritative and they will definitely be fascinated. You use something like: “Make yourself a better blogger today”, “Write awesome post and attract traffic”, or “Be Happy, Be A Blogger.’
8. Be Innovative:
   This is the most important point among all. The one which I have mentioned above are just of few of the methods to create headlines. However, you can generate far better headlines using your imagination. You can add humor, quotes, or anything. There is no limitation. Think beyond normal.
9. Lists:
   When it comes to attracting people, mentioning lists is the most effective method. Examples of lists is “47 tips to promote your blog”, or “12 awesome themes”. These 47 or 12 things would each be further linked to some other blog posts that can be internal or external.
10. Use common Keywords:
    I have listed this at the bottom because this is the least effective method to grab attention. Although using common keywords in your title would help you to appear first on the search engines, it wont stand out.

Are you aware of any other methods to generate stunning headlines?

Ever tried Affiliate Marketing? People say, it’s an amazing shortcut to get rich. Bull shit! You would get nothing wasting time in such useless things. Ask yourself a question. When was the time you bought something clicking on the link found on someone else’s blog? I am sure the answer would be never. Then, why do expect to people to do so?

Okay. Now affiliate marketing is out of question. My next question is when was the last time you bought a product or service after reading a review online. Maybe a couple of times, maybe more.

So, the number of people purchasing products online after reading review is higher than that in affiliate marketing. Now the choice is simple. Go for writing a review instead of affiliate marketing.

But how do you write an effective review. Don’t fret, here are some ways.

Buy the product and use it

Those who write reviews about any product without owning it are fake. One can never write a review without know what it actually is.

People write reviews based on sales copies or by rephrasing reviews written be other people. If you are one of them, you wouldn’t be trusted because if the product sucks, none of the readers will trust you. In fact, they will post bad, negative, or sometimes, insulting comments about you.

So, it is highly recommended to review the product or service after using it. And using doesn’t mean watching a demo or using a trial version. This wouldn’t help you to know the real drawbacks. Hence, write a review after using it for at least some months.

What should be included in your review?

Reviews aren’t interesting if you just mention about the features. Features can be availed from the product website or sales copy. People want to know whether it worth buying or not.

These are the common things that, I think, should not be neglected. Of course you can customize the structure of the review. This is just the basic one.

1. Overview:
   Answer the basic questions like what is the name of the product or service? What is it used for? Which company it represents? What is the product’s website?
2. Cost Price:
   Some reviews don’t mention the price and the people writing them are fools. Many times the review is very good and it induces the reader to buy it. However, the reader later finds that the price is way out of his/her budget, which eventually is quite disappointing. Remember, you write to help them, not disappoint them.
3. What is included:
   Mention all the things that comes along with the product or service. This would also include any discount or offers available on the purchase.
4. Positive points:
   Mention everything that you liked about the service or the product. You have to be honest here.
5. Negative points:
   Each product has some negative points or drawbacks. So, don’t treat them as idiotic people and ignore this point. To know the genuine drawbacks, you have to use the product. Also, listing down disadvantages will make your review look genuine and useful.
6. Conclusion:
   This would be the bottom line of the review. You could either rate the product out of five or ten, or suggest your reader to buy it or not. This is a quick liner or a decisive one.

Tell them the fact

You cannot just post a fake review and ask readers to get out of their house and buy it. As I mentioned earlier, they aren’t idiotic people. You cannot just say ‘the product is outstanding.’ You need to explain why it is outstanding.

Okay. You might think that reviewing honestly and mentioning the drawbacks will force people not to buy them. No. If you are honest, more people will buy the product. They know nothing is perfect.

Personal comments

Do not worry to add personal comments in your review. Don’t forget that it’s your review. You can either inform about the product in a descriptive way or put it as a story of your experience.

Lastly, furnish them a proper reason why are you reviewing it. Inform them that it has changed your life or made your work easy or just did nothing.

Reviewers, any suggestions? Did I miss out something?
