The first tip I have for you is don't focus on quantity, focus on quality.
The second tip I have for you is respond to comments. When you get comments on your blog. You need to respond. Think of a blog as a communication channel. If a friend was talking to you and they ask you a question and you don't respond that'll be rude. That goes with your blog as well. If someone asks you a question you need to respond. Someone leaves a comment, should at least respond with thanks even if that comment doesn't say much and if you're not getting any comments, at the end of your blog post end it with a question mark.
The third tip I have for you is to encourage conversations. The way you do this is make blog posts conversational. You want to use the words you and I within your blog post. By using the words you and I, it makes your blog posts feel more like a conversation such as wouldn't you love how to double your search engine traffic, I know I would. Everyone says search optimizations hard, but you know what, It's not impossible and today I'm going to share with you how I doubled my search traffic and you can too. Now I'm just making that up. I didn't read a blog post on that, I probably should. But you can see how that's conversational. By creating a conversation you're going to get more comments. You also find that when keep it blog posts between five and six lines, It makes it easier skim. And the easier it is to skim your content, the more comments and conversations you're gonna create.
The fourth tip I have for you is your blog isn't gonna just miraculously get visitors and then convert those into customers. Most people like my blog getting all this traffic but I'm getting no sales, no customers you know why? It's because you're not adding call to actions. It's okay to promote your business, it's okay to promote your services your product if you don't, you won't get sales so put call to actions in your sidebar. Look what I do on "neilpatel.com" If you read my blog, you'll see call to actions that drive you to my services page or my homepage and it's a great way to generate more leads and sales.
The fifth tip I have for you is to collect emails. Have you heard the saying the money's in the list, it's a very common thing in the digital marketing world. If you collect the emails, leave a comment with yes. If you don't leave a comment below with no. Emails is one the most important things. You need to collect emails. If you have to take one thing away from this video. Go and collect emails. You can use a ton of free tools like "hellobar.com" to start collecting emails. Think of email collection as indeed. If you want a random person on the stream be like, will you marry me? Imagine me with a ring in my hand. And if you said that most people doesn't matter, if you look like Brad Pitt, or Angelina Jolie, or Ronaldo, or any popular Kardashian, most people are going to say No. Why, because they don't know you. But the moment you get to know people, they're much more likely to say, yes. You date someone for a year or two and then you ask them to marry you, they probably say yes. If they don't better get out of there. Now what you want to do is collect emails and using tools like hellobar, you can create like a lead magnet, where you're showcasing something like offering a free Ebook, double your traffic in 30 days. That's example of an Ebook that I can create. Doing simple things like that will capture you way more emails.
The sixth I have for you is start collecting push notifications.

Out of curiosity, do you have a blog?
Yes
Hello Neil Sir,
Loved your video.
1) Yes I Do have a blog.
2) Yes I do collect email ids.
Can you help me with cornerstone articles.?
My question is,
How can i use corner stone article as a main page or main tab in my menu structure and then in that particular page how do it place the content.
I can write unique articles in a very refreshing way of 2,000 to 8,000 words, but my doubt is that how do I place my service in corner stone page/article.
Ex: Digital Marketing is a corner stone page then how do you clarify the SEO service or SMM in it.
How would you do this if you were doing this?
Is there any better way than this.??!
Will be looking forward to your revert Sir.
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Ravi
yes
Yes! And I find your tips so helpful! Thanks a lot!!
Yes
Yes! I made over 100k last year blogging. Great tips as always Neil, I think blogging still works, but you have to diversify your traffic sources way more and be niche specific without relying a lot on Google.
100% agree Lester!
Great job, Lester! That's awesome!
@@Anja1111 hm
Can you tech me more Lester 🤓?
Not rely on Google. I appreciate that comment. Made me think.
Hey Neil,
I started a blog for my product as late as 1st December 2018 and it really worked out using your techniques.
Thanks a lot Neil 😍👍
Best,
Promothash Boruah

Glad you liked it! :)
Yes. Also, loved the tips to make your content feel like a conversation. You hear about that everywhere, almost never with a clear way to achieve it.
Thank you!
I have a blog and this is great to know. Been doing quantity mistake. I've read that before from other blogging authorities that you need to post at least once a day. When I was starting that's what I did. Thanks for this advice!
You're very welcome!
I need someone to create me a blog
Yes, and it's great for traffic. Definitely quality over quantity kills. Thanks for the tips as always.
You're welcome!
Such simple tips Neil. Thank you. Just starting on the blog journey but it's only one part of the overall 'system' I'm building.
Glad you liked them!
Thank you for sharing the video about blogging tips Neil.

Vlogging is the new blogging. I use the UA-cam API to create a blog/vlog on my own domain.
Text blogging is still as important as ever
Great advice! I have just recently started a blog and am working my way up through it. Was not really aware of many of these tools. Thank you for the great tips. :)
You're welcome! Best of luck with the new blog!
@@neilpatel thank you so much!
Niel, you are the man! You inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and start and blog. I just started it and could use some advice/ feedback on what to do and to make it the best I can. I hope you all have a great day. Peace.
Thanks so much, Travis!

It hurts when someone does not response and when you expect most from him. To be honest, I used to like one person and still like him but getting hurt. I am a still loyal reader & audience. I read all his articles and videos. No response to my query. And you response my every query. This make difference. Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much! I appreciate it :)

You're welcome!!
I have no blog
Yes. √
just launched a one day before yesterday ! :)
which makes it 3. I just love to research on the things and put em up in a single piece of content and see it solving problems !
Blogging is just awesome !
Nice!
Good stuff. UA-cam, Pinterest, Reddit, even retargeting, great options for bringing in traffic. I think there is still a lot of untapped real estate out there for blogs, but it's definitely hard work, which is good from a competition standpoint.
Absolutely true. Lots of space to grow but takes a lot of work
yeesss
Yes no content yet.
Yes...love your videos!
Thank you!!
Of course it works!
You can make pretty much make anything work in 2019 when it comes to the online world!
That’s why I love it. 🔥
I agree! It takes time and demands a lot of work but it is possible!
Got lots of takeaway. Btw, what's your view about Facebook blogging Neil?
Better to keep it on your own blog and use FB to promote. You will have more control.
@@neilpatel thank u. I really appreciate you giving the world free strategies!
Neil For President?
No thanks!! :)
Thanks for that Neil!
You're welcome!
Yes, new blog 2 months old. I will have to try your suggestions. Thank you so much for sharing.
You're welcome!
How's your bloging going on now any updates??
noooooo
When will you start neil knowledge in Hindi language???
waiting for the neil to speak in gujarati
I don't speak Hindi ;)
@@neilpatel but i heard from somewhere that you will start your knowledge in Hindi language very soon...is it rumour 😊😊
@@Dharm0502 yes
@@neilpatel why so? You have lot of visitors from India. You have roots from India. So y don't you speak hindi? Hindi is your language. You are Gujarati, I think. I love Hindi, my language. You also should. And I am your student and fan too:)
Yes. Thanks a lot for this video.
You're very welcome!
Yes, I have a Blog and No I do not collect emails.
I use blogger for blogging and was seeking out for some better email managers apart than the feed burner.
Will try Hello Bar🙃.
Thanks for the Video :)
You are very welcome!
No
Yes, absolutely.
Yes i have blog and also collect emails. My blog is 1 year old and had made 125 email subscribers in 1 month by following your tip! I still have to work on increasing the views in it. Thank you for helping☺️👍
That's great!!
I started a blog and then fell out of it. Found I wasn't inspired by the content and the pressure to get regular posts out. Thinking about starting it up again though with lots of these tips. Even just posting once a month with a high quality content. Thanks!
That is why it is so important to follow a niche you are passionate about
Neil thanks for the great content
No problem :)
I have been considering starting a blog to join my channel, it really would be a good idea to turn videos into writing to draw in a little bit more of an audience!
Thanks again Neil!
You're very welcome!
Yes to the list!
Thanks for the update of blogging and shared on Facebook 😁
You're welcome!
Thank you. This post helped. Just starting. The idea of marketing through push notifications ....
You're very welcome!
Thank's Neal for your insite.
You're welcome, Lewis!
Yes! Blogging works in 2019..
Informative.. working strategies..
When you work along with trends...
True!
Yes I do Neil Patel! Thank you cery much!!!
You are very welcome!
Thanks for the tips
You are very welcome!
Hey Neil, thanks for another amazing video.
Quick question:
Is better to write long-form content
OR
have a few long pillar posts (3k+ words) and write shorter posts more often?
I prefer consistently writing long-form content. My minimum target is about 2,000 words per post.
@@neilpatel haha, so it's both. Got you. Thanks man!
Yes, I have two blog sites. In my opinion, having 1 billion blogs as “competition” doesn’t bother me, because 90% of the blogs that I have seen have 5 posts and were last updated in 2017, also zero SEO, and zero content quality. My blogs aren’t perfect, but I’m working on them daily and they are improving.
Keep on working, friend :) You'll get there!
how much are you making?
unknown man enough to pay the bills... 😁
Neil Patel, I have to say you're awesome man.
Thank you!!
I've totally been binge watching your channel. Learning so much from you. Anyway....no. I don't have a blog post on my website yet but, one is pending.
Awesome!
Thanks for the information really helps me and Happy Makar Sankrati !
You're welcome!
wOw... GREAT. We in our electronic community (which are mostly Bengali) do believe blogging helps a lot to rank on google. Although copying from our blog is a big problem 🙄
Yup. That is a big problem everywhere unfortunately.
Informative content !
Thanks!
YES!! I have 2! One is related to muscle building and the other is my recording artist site.
Nice!!
Yes, i do!
Love your video, you are awesome 😎
Thanks!
Hey Neil, I have started my two blogs; one is about different niches, posted 36 blogs, the instructor said to leave that blog and another on one niche then I made 2nd blog on one niche posting 48 posts. Should I post on the previous blog or not? I am not running my blog from the business point of view as it's about the beauties of nature. The teacher said after posting 25 posts within a month ad sense approval is sure but nothing is there. Should I follow all these tips for my blog including backlink?
Neil, I say this with love: You look like professor X if the cast Aziz Ansari instead of James McAvoy. I love it. Thank you for your awesome work, it's really consise and I like that I can see you using your suggestions.
LOL
Great tips! I've implemented most all of them. My CTA goes to "contact page" but perhaps I should create a webinar like you.
Definitely would be good to test that, Arek!
Hi Neil, I asked you a question in the last video " i have bought the expired domain for SEO benefits, do i need to buy the domain again when it would get expired next year to retain the link juice as i redirected that expired domain to my website so that it would pass link juice and help in google rankings". You responded " you have to renew the domain otherwise it won't be yours anymore. But that's wasn't my concern. Please read my question one more time. It's really important. My main concern for asking this question is "Link juice". If i wouldn't renew the expired domain, would my rankings go down because it went up when it was mine. Would appreciate if you answer. Thanks Neil.
So you are going to redirect the domain to your current site? The redirects need to remain in place for the link juice (or what's left of the link juice) to pass along. That means you need to keep the domain current or you can lose your redirects and therefore the link juice that comes with them.
Yes I have a blog ...thanks for great tricks
You’re welcome 😊
Yup, i have started a personal blog and a UA-cam channel focusing on Digital Marketing.
Nice!
Thank you for making this! I run two separate blogs and write one article per week. How long should the articles be?
I aim for 2,000 words each article
@@neilpatel Thank you for taking the time to reply!
Thanks. I am thinking...
You are very welcome!
Yes. In development
Thanks for an amazing video Neil.
I have a question:
If I have a lot of content around 1 vertical on my blog - does it help me to increase my domain authority ?
Thanks
P.S. Loved that analogy with asking someone to marry you :D
Yes, although it has lacked focus over the years, but I think I have got passed this issue now.
That's good, Chris!
Thanks neil
You're my inspiration on blogging sir and digital marketing learning daily from u😁
Glad to hear that :) Thanks for following along
Excellent video. I think blogging still works especially when you are using other platforms like UA-cam and Anchor to make your posts richer.-
Totally agree with you :)
