You probably want to grab all the blogging secrets and tips you could find just to attract even more readers. Here are some places where you could get free and - more importantly - effective blogging tips.

1. Read Other Monetized Blogs

Now that people have discovered just how profitable blogging can be, there are countless monetized or 'professional' blogs on the Internet. Read through some of them and you're bound to pick up a few cool ideas. Pay particular attention to how they first attract the attention of the visitor, how they draw the reader in and how they keep the reader engrossed through multiple posts.

You could also pick up some blogging tips regarding formatting from other professional blogs. Visual appeal is almost as important as content for any blog and those successful blogs must be doing something right - something that you'd better do too.

2. Search Engine-Optimized Sites

There's really very little difference between a commercial website and your blog; after all, both sites rely heavily on website traffic to generate profits. You could pick up a lot of blogging tips on search engine-optimized websites, especially pointers on how to increase your blog's visibility online. Those sites want to get traffic too, so they implement certain strategies to improve their rankings with the search engines. You can use the same strategies to get more or less the same results.

Even if you get more tips from a variety of sources, don't be afraid to mix them up or experiment. Sure, it sounds a little tedious but don't forget, it's the truly novel blogs that become Internet memes overnight.
