How to Build a High Traffic Blog?

March 14, 2020 by Deepak Kanakaraju

Do you want a blog that gets a lot of traffic? I have done two big blog projects in my life. The first one was a motorcycle blog that I was able to take it to more than 1 million page views per month. The second major blog project I’ve taken up is this blog: DigitalDeepak.com. This blog now gets more than 100,000 page views a month and I would be taking it to more than 1,000,000 page views a month soon. You can see from Analytics, that in the last one year, I’ve got more than 1.4 million page …

November 9, 2019November 9, 2019 by Deepak Kanakaraju

A decade. Ten long years. That’s how long I’ve been blogging. It feels like yesterday, and it’s been a terrific journey so far. It’s hard to imagine where I would’ve been if I hadn’t started blogging. I would’ve been ended up an engineer or something else, working somewhere 9-5, cursing the traffic and heavy workload, wishing if things were different. Or I might have ended up running an offline business because because I wouldn’t know what else to do. But one thing for sure. You probably wouldn’t have heard about me. We both would’ve been a total stranger to each …

Why Bloggers Should Keep Their Focus on Content

April 28, 2019April 28, 2019 by Deepak Kanakaraju

As bloggers, we are very much drawn to statistics. We always take a close look at the daily traffic, the daily traffic coming from organic search, the number of comments on the blog post, the search engine ranking for a specific keyword and so on. If we see a bump in our search rankings, a sudden surge of traffic coming from social media, or 100s of comments for a single blog post, there is no limit to the amount of joy we feel. Blogging is a creative field mixed with science. In many forms of art, technology is not involved. …

3 Tips for Professional Bloggers to Write More, Write Better

September 16, 2018July 28, 2018 by Deepak Kanakaraju

Being a full-time professional blogger is no easy task.

Most of the people around us do not understand what we do.

It’s hard for my Dad to explain what I do to his friends.

Most of my uncle’s sons and daughters are employed in “real” jobs.

For them, I am still someone who is dabbling with something new.

I don’t think I have a solution for that, and it’s OK.

They don’t need to know exactly what I do and how my business operates.

Apart from making others understand what we do for a living, we need to constantly fight to create an environment where we can thrive as a blogger.

Friends and family do not always understand the needs of a blogger to support us in our blogging journey.

So here are some tips from my experience on how to support and fuel yourself as a full time blogger.

Is it OK to Start an Anonymous Blog Under a Pen Name?

July 22, 2018July 22, 2018 by Deepak Kanakaraju

If you want to become a successful blogger…

There is probably one big hesitation you have…

And that is…

Will people like my posts?

Will I add enough value for people?

Or will they hate me?

Will they ignore me?

These are some issues that every blogger faces when he starts his blogging journey.

I faced these issues a lot.

And to make sure that my content is loved and well received, I would often edit the articles several times.

And sometimes I would edit it so many times and still wouldn’t be satisfied.

And I would end up just saving the article and many articles like that have never seen the light of the day.

It has taken a long time for me to get comfortable with writing and publishing articles fast.

I have finally come to a stage where I can write an article and hit publish without editing it again.

This article has been published like that. No edits. No revisions.

This kind of confidence comes with years of writing practice.

And not just writing, but actually publishing it and distributing it to an audience.

Your first work might not get much traction.

You might get 100 readers if you are lucky.

You can spread your article on social media and within your personal network.

Out of 100 readers, may be 2 will leave comments on the article.

5 Tips To Write Your Awesome About Me Page

July 17, 2018July 17, 2018 by Deepak Kanakaraju

Do you know which is the most important page on your blog?

One of the most visited page?

It’s the “about me” page.

Yup…

It’s surprising, isn’t it?

Do you know why?

When someone lands on your blog, they will have questions:

Is this right blog for me?

Can this [person/blog] help me with my problem?

What is in it for me? Is it worth the time?

And they’ll look for the ‘about page.’

The about page tells the reader about you – who you are, what you do, what your blog is all about, and what it does to the reader.

It’s the foundation of your blog.

It helps you build a relationship with your reader because people want to connect with real people.

It builds trust and authority. When you explain your experience, expertise

But still, it is the one page most people don’t give attention.

It’s a huge mistake…

Because when people couldn’t find more about you or the blog, they bolt.

They aren’t interested in hearing from anonymous people they don’t know.

They don’t come back.

You don’t want to make that mistake.

That’s why I want you to write your about page first.
