The title may looks funny to you guys, but I really mean it! I have noticed many similarities between Good Bloggers and Mothers. Let me start with the concept which I always mention when I talk about the types of bloggers. The Good Blogger and The Bad Blogger! That’s it! There is no third type in my point of view.
Here, I am not going to discuss bad bloggers as all of us may already know about the bad guys in blogging so we have to get to the topic quickly. A good blogger treats his blog like a mother treats her child. Let’s check out how?
Feeding your blog:
Like every mother (rich or poor) tries to feed her child with quality food, a blogger also tries his best to feed his blog with quality content. You must try your best to upload high quality articles and pictures to your blog if you want to see it growing. Make sure each and every blog post in your blog must deliver something useful to your readers so they comeback again to see you.
If you are publishing tutorials, make them complete and comprehensive, otherwise it would be of no use and can make your readers even more confused about the topic they were searching for.
Name it well:
All mothers try to choose good names for their babies. So should you when it comes to choosing a domain name for your blog. Choose the domain name wisely because you can not rename your website later. Make sure that your domain name should be related to the stuff you are going to place on your blog. It should not be an orange if you are planning to sell apples on your website.
Dressing your blog:
Every mother wants to see her child well-dressed so people could admire him, same case is with bloggers. A blogger should choose a best design for his blog to dress it elegantly. As a blogger you should choose a neat design for your blog because a good design is a first impression on your visitors, so make it everlasting. Choose your blog theme wisely and try not to save few bucks by not purchasing a Premium WordPress Themes for your blog. But if you have found a free theme which is Malware free then its great.
Keep it healthy:
No one in this world is more worried than a mother when it comes to a heath of a child. Same goes for a blogger. He should always be taking a good care of his blog’s health and must manage to pull out some time from his busy schedule to check up the health of his blog. He should take all precautionary measures to keep his blog safe from hacking attempts and from hidden infections and malware. Unfortunately, if you have found something malicious in your code or some bad scripts, do your best to tackle the problem and don’t hesitate to consult any professional who could help you out.
Introduce it to the family and the world:
Every mother takes her child with her when she goes out somewhere. It helps her child to get introduced with the world. Consider your niche as your family and the world wide web as a world. First try to introduce your blog to the other blogs in your niche then it will gain popularity with the passage of time.
Appear on social media sites as a proud owner of your blog and help it making its way to the hearts of the people. After couple of months you will find a huge difference in your blog’s reputation in social media websites and you will feel happy on your success.
Provide it a good and safe residence:
Every mother wants to provide her child a safe home where he could live peacefully without any danger. Similarly, a blogger must provide a best and reliable hosting server to his blog. A server with 99.9% up time and an unlimited bandwidth is essential for every blog. Imagine your favorite website getting down every second day, will you still visiting that site? No? Yeah, make sense. I’ll also not visit such site who is always down.
Help it learn ethics:
No mother wants to see her child as a criminal. So should you! First you should know about the crimes of blogging world so that you could keep your blog safe to be in the list of criminals. Keep him away from stealing anything from the fellow bloggers. Keep it original and clean. Don’t run behind the quantity of posts either by hook or by crook, always go for the quality.
Treat your blog as your child if you want it to give you a good pay back. All above mentioned things are the investments and if you invest wisely, you will surely get a good ROI. I hope these good blogging ideas would help you gaining more success in blogging.

I want to add one thing especially for those bloggers who don’t have much time to make fresh content, they can add daily or weekly an infographic which definitely help a lot.

Irfan, I believe that posting an infographic needs more time and attention than a normal blog post, because you have to be very careful about the facts and figures you mention.

A blogger takes care of its blog as it kids. As kid needs care on time for growing. Blog also need care and efforts for his reputation grow.

I agree, blogs and kids need proper attention from their guardian.
Joe Clark recently posted..Things that SEO book won’t do for your blog
Hi, Stella; you are right. Still, let’s see, which is the biggest difference between a mother and a blogger: mothers would never sell their kids, while bloggers tend to do so when they need money.
Cristian Stan recently posted..Best Masticating Juicer
That is an interesting comparison, Joe! So if I were to draw a conclusion from this, it would be that every good blogger is a good mother…or something to that effect!

Very interesting analogy Joe. It sounds funny at first glance, but you’re right. That’s exactly how it is in the blogging industry. I guess not all bloggers take the steps of care concerning their blog, but they certainly should.
These days it’s getting harder and harder to find a good url or name for your blog, as most of the great .com’s have been taken or bought up for resale. So people probably find themselves having to become extra creative when choosing that name.
Like you said you can’t change it, so I believe it’s a good idea, if possible, to obtain an address name that may be a little universal, that way if your first idea doesn’t succeed, you may be able to relaunch under a different idea or niche. We have to remember though this all takes time, you can’t decide it’s a failure after a few months time.

Twitter: TheTechnoMAG
Yes Robert, what I believe is that a carefully chosen blog name may required a week or so to think about it, but it’s gonna give a good pay back to it’s owner in a longer run.
So, blog name should be chosen wisely.

Haha, never thought of it that way. Made me chuckle.
I, like most parents, have stumbled a time or two with my blog-child. But we teach them to get back up, dust ourselves off, and keep going.
Nice post joe, additionally mother do that with love. Blogger also need do their job with love. It will result more energy to make quality content.

wow, that is a great point of view Joe. I’m agree with you that there are much similarity growing baby and blog.
I just want to add another similarity. growing baby and blog need a time. It’s very essential for us that success in blogging need time and process. It’s like growing baby, baby can’t walk in one night as well as we can’t be success in blogging in a day. what we can do to be successful blogger is learn persistence and enjoy the process as well as what mother do to their baby.
Thanks joe for great posting

Hello There,
I think there is no limit to care.it is beyond the limits for mother to care her baby and not necessary baby is a little.for mother the caring has no extent and blogger has the same.

Hi Joe … Catchy title. Post was very creative & really good analogy in fact. What popped into my mind was TLC .. a blog need tender loving care (not to be melodramatic) to survive and thrive. Another analogy is a blog is like a plant. Without regular care & attention (content=water, quality content=fertiziler) it will wither away … to dust LOL
