Hi peeps,
While browsing the web I found a really interesting post about what makes a blogger a successful one. That kept me thinking about my own experiences and felt like sharing my thoughts with all of you.
How can I succeed as a blogger?
Well, to be perfectly honest, there’s no recipe for that. Marketing? Great layout? Link building? Yeah, those can help a lot but they’re not the solution or the key to success: they’re just tools to make your blogging journey easier.
Again, what makes someone a successful blogger? I’ll share a few thoughts with you that might help you find your own path:
Write about what passionates you
If you love pets then blog about pets. If you love skydiving then post about it. The Muse will be with you all the time! Why? Simple: you’ll be writing about stuff that you truly like.
It’s not hard to talk about something when you’re in love with it, is it? 
Be Honest
Let your readers know what you really think. Don’t try to scam your visitors by trying to sell them an idea/product you wouldn’t buy or trust. People can sense that and will stop coming to read what you write. Let your mind be like a book that anyone can read. Your readers will trust in you and you’ll feel a lot better about yourself.
Give something in return
Your readers will continue to visit your site to get quality content. So give them what they want 
In exchange you’ll get a lot of traffic, meaningful comments and quality discussions about what you wrote.
Reward them with your best writing skills. Don’t post for the sake of posting. Post because you feel like sharing a deep thought with them. They will appreciate it!
Tolerance and Understanding
Sometimes you’ll get negative feedbacks about your writings. Sometimes people just won’t like your post. That can be very dissapointing, I know. However, that gives you an excelent opportunity to learn from your mistakes. Be tolerant and understanding. Try to find out what went wrong and ask your readers for a feedback.
You can only hope to improve yourself and continue walking on the Road of Successful Blogging.
Final Words
As a summary of what I’ve exposed here I gotta say that it’s important to be honest to yourself. Do what you like and people with your same ideas will follow you. I believe that honesty is the key to Successful Blogging. What about you?

I think all your points are valid but one more thing better you can do as a blogger is to give a comment on another blog and I’m sure he would do the same back

@Sabeur-Wunir: I agree with you, wunir. It’s important to socialize with other bloggers. I believe that having contact with others gives you experience and increases your knowledge! You can also polish your writing skills by reading someone else’s posts
Blogging is a very rich experience!
