Successful AJ Blogger Traits

This is a post I'm making for the newer bloggers. It's a thought that randomly came to mind.
To be a successful Animal Jam blogger, there are certain things you should do. Let me give a list of them.

#1: Get involved with the community. You can't just create a blog randomly out of nowhere. You have to get involved with other bloggers and meet new people. Read other blogs, befriend other bloggers. This not only helps with making a successful blog, but it also makes great friendships.

#2: Analyze other blogs. See what makes them successful. You don't have to copy them, though. It's more of an influence. All bloggers were influenced by someone or something. Make our posts your own kind of way, though take into consideration what others do to be successful.

#3: Make your blog look intriguing! Don't have some simple plain white background, Arial text, no organization, or no theme. It's always great to put effort into your blog's template. It'll definitely attract a lot more viewers.

#4: Switch up your posts. Do not always create posts that have the same layout and topic. For example, take daily update posts. These are a great way to help viewers, and get an audience. However, if they are repetitive in nature, and constantly have the same layout, this will eventually become boring. If you choose to make update posts a lot, there is proper way to do it. Looking back at my old posts, I found that all update posts may start with a similar layout, (new item, etc.) but have an interesting part that is different from others. This is a very good feature for update posts. Another great example of this is the AJ Legendary Palooza. Violet creates update posts but always have something interesting and different to share in each. I used to do this, too, but I barely post anymore.

#5: Get involved with your audience. Don't ignore them. Reply to comments, understand their thoughts. Maybe even host giveaways or Fashion Shows. Nafaria9, the owner of The Animal Jam Whip, has Fashion Shows for different seasons and they are always fun to join. I probably didn't do it, though, because I'm bad at dressing for themes lol. But anyways, these are a great way to involve your audience with the blog. It's a fun way, too. It really does help.

#6: You don't have to always post about Animal Jam. Of course, this is your choice, but sometimes posting about our own life helps. I wouldn't say it helps with viewers, but it definitely helps you improve as a blogger and person. You can feel better by getting help from your friends on Blogger, who are all probably amazing people. If only the entire AJ community was that way, right?

#7: Make your blog your own. Put effort into making it the way you want. Make it a special and unique blog. This really attracts more viewers and honestly gives you a lot of confidence knowing that your own ideas worked.

#8: Put effort into posting. If you want to be successful after starting, really put effort into posting a lot. Think of new ideas and post about them. I do not post a lot anymore because I don't really have a passion for the game at this point. I've had my share of posting a lot, though. If you don't post a lot, it's fine, though. There's always a reason as to why, and it is common for bloggers who have been around longer.

P.S. the first post can be pretty cringey, especially the younger you are. Don't worry how experienced you are in writing or stuff like that. Just evolve as times goes on.

That's really all I can think of for now. I hope this helps all newer bloggers. I have no good words to end this post, so goodbye.
