Doing so means you get exposure to thousands and thousands of other CommentLuv users and your posts get sent out to the massive subscriber list.
Google loves this site and indexes it multiple times per day and posts always get lots of comments so you can be sure of some excellent exposure.

Question 1: Have you ever wondered why only few people will get more shares, likes, tweets and comments?
Question 2: Why not everyone can build a successful blog?
That’s because few people have greater online influence where they can create miracles almost every time. Do you know what’s common in Daniel Scocco, Darren Rowse, Chris Brogan and Brian Clark?
They can start any blog from the scratch and flip it for more profits.
So how can they do that?
They learned how to learn from the mistakes. They faced many hurdles and worked their butt off to win the race.
They focused more on
- Building a network
- Making connections with others
- Providing value to the readers
- Being everywhere
And they never (ever) gave up!!
Those are the success secrets for any blog to succeed.
If you’re willing to build a better blog without having any online reputation, don’t run after money, instead, focus on creating value to the blogosphere with your content, and try to be everywhere by using guest posts, blog commenting, videos etc.
Is it really possible to make a successful blog without having online reputation?
The answer is.. YES!
Let’s dive into the details without further ado.
How to Succeed In Blogging When You Don’t Have Online Reputation Before?
Swing the pendulum the right way.
What’s the SINGLE most important factor that keeps your blog ticking?
Your content.
You must give the readers a compelling reason to return to your blog. Only engaging content can bring the readers to your blog again and again and again.
No matter whether you’re posting daily or weekly on your blog, you need to be consistent with the pace.
That’s REALLY important to gain the trust from the readers.
Make a proper posting schedule and stick with it. Don’t force yourself to create more content within time limits, you may lose the quality then.
I won’t share much content creation tips here, there are already tons of content creation tips over here on DailyBlogTips. I just want to share few content creation tips to reach greater audience for your blog.
Write clearly: Answer this question. Can your readers understand what you’re saying without reading it twice? If you’re writing using simple words, no doubt, everyone will love to read your content. Be clear what you’re writing about.
Be concise: There’s no need to write 1000+ words everytime. Cut the unwanted words. Be concise. Short paragraphs and short senteces will attract anyone. Moreover it’s easy to read and digest your content, your readers will love to hangout more on your blog then.
Link out to others often: Focus more on linking to others in your niche to reach more audience. It’s really important for you to link out to others to grab others eyeballs. You’ll be providing more reasons to others to reach your blog. When they find your content useful, sooner or later, they’ll also start linking to your site.
Remember without having great content, any blog (even potential blogs) will fade away. That’s the power of having killer content.
Build thriving audience around your blog.
Often share others content: Everyone likes to be get their contents to be shared, but none of us promote others content. Try not to do this mistake. If you stumbled upon a useful blog post, promote it either by social media or write a follow up post on your own blog by giving a link back to the original site. This makes you special from others.
Publish often: Have you observed the posting frequency of ViperChill, SocialTriggers or BoostBlogTriffic? They publish very less content to add massive value to their posts, so it obviously take more time to research and write. You won’t see no more than one or two posts each month.
If you’re just starting out, don’t follow their posting schedule! Guys like Glen Allsoop, Derek Halphern are abnormal. They’re one of a kind and they already have a huge online reputation and fan base before. If you follow their posting schedule without having much online reputation, you’ll go nowhere and feel overwhelmed soon.
Moreover you need to put your name out there either by posting daily, creating videos or podcasts. This is one of the best ways to build a better online influence for yourself.
Go slow. Grow strong: Can anyone build a great network overnight? It’s impossible even for the super stars like Superman, Batman or Iron man 
The secret behind creating a thriving network around your blog is this: focus one reader at a time, at least in the beginning. Try to connect with them again and again. Solve their problems either by social media networks or using your own blog. Try to include their names on your blog posts whenever they leave thoughtful comments. Last but not least, start building your email list as soon as possible. Use the power of guest posting to grow your email list. This way you can build potential readership for your blog in less time.
Repurpose your content to be everywhere.
The problem with most bloggers is; they create only textual content. They don’t prefer creating infographics, videos, slideshares or podcasts for their blog posts.
Repurpose your own content to make it go viral. If you depend only on Google, there’s no way you can find the new readers for your blog. You should also be using all the mediums like YouTube, iTunes etc to attract more readers for your blog.
Turn your blog posts into infographics, slideshares, podcasts or even videos to reach wider audience.
Do you know that more than 50% of the readers found SmartPassiveIncome via YouTube, iTunes or links from other blogs?
So make sure you’re not only creating textual content but also targeting all the mediums to bring more people to read and share your content.
Note: Provide easily sharable options and include twitter and Facebook buttons as a minimum to get the content go viral on social media.
In a nutshell:
There’s no rocket science behind building a better blog without having online reputation. All you need to have is a clear vision, building a vibrant network and being helpful to others.

Your tips to repurpose your content in multiple areas really struck a chord; this is something I know I need to be doing but for one reason or another have yet to do. YouTube, Itunes – these areas are known for building amazing amounts of traffic, and they present yet another way to connect to your audience. This is a really excellent tip.

It’s always been true that good content is the absolute most important part of becoming a known blogger. I like the reminder that content does not always have to be textual. Layering posts with videos, pictures, and other types of content helps to engage new visitors and keep regular ones from getting bored.

Hi Rahul,

Thanks Rahul – would be interested to hear your views about the vast array of tools out there to increase site traffic and visibility. I don’t mean the obvious Black Hat tools, but rather those that help take the tedium out of getting your message out. What do you think is acceptable and what crosses the line?
Thanks

This is very difficult task to make reputation in online marketing because good number of competition is going on. So you should take help from your social network which will prove effective for you.
I think one of the best ways is to start your own blog so that others will get a feel of what you can offer. Thank you for the great piece of advice and information!

Since making my blog almost a week ago, this article is so much help. I have almost no internet presence, so I’m the newbie in the blogosphere. I’m going to try to incorporate what you said, but it’s hard to remember all that when you’re typing.
What do you think about using social media? I know you said make a network but how would you specifically do it?

Hey Rahul,
Thank you for the wonderful insights given out here. I feel epic content and good promotion would do wonders!! One more question if PR of a website is more but it has thin content and the other website has a low PR but some great content which would it (Google – the king of searche engines) put on the top and why?

Hi Rahul,
This surely intrigued me as I have been in this kind of situation before, after all, who hasn’t? Everyone has to start to zero when it comes to anything, especially blogging. Great tips you have shared here on how to succeed in blogging even if one does not have an online reputation initially. The main thing is to never give up and continue even if the odds are great. Getting your content to be seen on different platforms is a great idea, and not everyone does this even if there are legitimate ways that it can be done, but still not a lot really does it, even if the methods are practically free!(For example, Facebook and Twitter) Thanks for sharing!

Hello Rahul,
Nice post you have posted here, you have basically cleared out the basic dogma that new bloggers can’t build reputation online. Yes! its not copyrighted by one or two, anyone can easily build it with the points you have covered here. Provide Quality, expect best!
Krishna Parmar recently posted..Way2SMS Login & Sign UP Page (Way2SMS.com)
I think the key is value. When you provide value al the tricks aren’t necessary.
So keep adding articles and LISTEN to the readers. Then people will come and come back.
I totally agree with clear and concise content. Hate it when bloggers ramble on and on.
Really nice article on blog success. You must develop a reason for your audience to return to your website to read your contents again & share them in their network.
I read your valuable tips on your blog.
Hi Rahul, I think being consistent with all that you do online, AND being EVERYWHERE is great advice for anyone starting online.
I also realize for someone starting out that it can be a little overwhelming trying to figure out which strategies to work on, AND it what order.
This article will help point you in the right direction.

I love your tip on re-purposing. It really is an important strategy for any blogger or marketer. There are some people on YouTube who I never would have found through their blogs. It’s best to hit as many different eyes as possible if you want to be seen!

Guest posting is a great strategy to build reputation. Contact/network with relevant bloggers and then reach out and offer a quality post, your reputation and brand will grow over time.
Thanks
Hey Rahul, Its true that the most place your content is placed in the more visibility your going to get. Appreciate the tips. From my experience, when you write good stuff or talk about excellent strategies, people will start to notice and talk about you as well, and when they do that, you will start to grow and become famous.
Great Tips Rahul
Trying to develop content that is suitable for all audiences is one of the hardest things to do. It’s sometimes hard to remember you aren’t trying to target only advanced or only novice readers. I believe your ideas of leaving out unnecessary words and creating short concise paragraphs is the key. Use of common understandable words is also important. You don’t want your readers to be consulting a dictionary every time they read a post. I appreciate your work on this, a good read. Keep the tips coming!
If i understand right, i need to make videos so i can get more traffic? Is youtube only option?

This is a great look at a subject that you don’t see a lot about. I’ve been reading blogs all day about reputation management for an established company but no one has mentioned when you are starting out.
