In blogosphere, there are lots of successful bloggers in various field. Some of the established successful blogger are not only successful in their online businesses, but attitude as well. Some of them are successfull in their online businesses, but they’re failed to manage their attitude, eventually they’re failed too. Actually people who expert in internet marketing and make money online, can be considered as a successful blogger too, but they won’t be well known, they must be certified by the crowd too. Bloggers who able to manage business, internet marketing, attitude and make money online, eventually they’ll be known as a REAL successful blogger.

12 Attitudes A Successful Blogger Should Have
1) Be Kind – Treat every of your readers as your buddies, never scold your readers. If they being rude to you first, you should say :”Thanks!”. Treat your readers as your friends, sharing great tips and being friendly.
2) Be Honest – Never cheat your readers to buy some useless products because of you just want to make money out of it. You could recommend the quality products to your readers and ask whether they’re fine to buy it with your affiliate link.
3) Be Enthusiasm – Try to catch up with your readers and try to be enthusiasm while replying their comments or emailing them. Your readers will be feeling relax while reading your blog.
4) Be Active – Try to be active but not hyperactive, try to update your blog regularly and reply comments (says 3 articles in a week). Just to show your readers that your blog is not dead, still healthy and in good condition, no stroke or dilemma.
5) Be Caring – Try to help your readers’ questions and problems, never say “I don’t know” unless you really don’t know about the things.
6) Be Helpful – Whenever your readers ask for help, such as blog review, products review etc, try to help them out. If you want something reasonable and affordable in return, ask them for it.
7) Be Intelligent – You should be having the knownledge in your field and you know what are you sharing with your readers, never share something that you don’t know and you’re not able to answer your readers’ inquiries.
8 ) Be Available – Available doesn’t mean you’re single and available to have a girlfriend, I mean able to contact via email or any other methods. I’ve experienced some bloggers never replied when I contacted them via email. It’s not the right attitude, your readers will run away and never come back.
9) Be Sporty – Not only take, but gives as well! Organizing some contest and giveaway free gift or hard core cash!
10) Be Generous – Don’t just getting inbound links only, link out to some useful resources and share it with your readers.
11) Be Cool – Try to be cool and stand out from the crowd, readers love cool blogger. Readers love blogger who will give surprise to them.
12) Be Modest – Don’t be arrogant even though you’re expert or professional in your field, you just piss off your readers.
Everyone should learn to have these attitudes in order to become a successful blogger, not necessary to have them all but at least half of the above listed attitudes.
In the end of the post, I would like to invite you to continue adding your thoughts on the attitudes that you think a successful blogger should have.
About Lee Ka Hoong
hmm.. ok with me. the only thing that’s important to me is building up rapport!
thanks for the sharing… i’m appericiate that.. Hope u will success
@renaye,
Haha you’re right! Building rapport is important too, as long as no conflict between you and your readers. :) Another great point…
@aFi,
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment, I’m appreciate too! :D
Thanks for your wish, I wish you luck and success in future too!
Oh gosh! I have all those good qualities. I’m such a good blogger. :p
Great list. Most attitudes I think a successful blogger should have you have already covered in your list!.
Hey Lee, Good post with excellent list of attitudes a successful blogger should have. I think you hit it right on… if all or some of us bloggers can at least try to practice some of these we will be a better blogger or at least have a better blog. You can have a #`1 blog with great Pagerank and all that but sometimes you just don’t connect with your readers. One can have a popular blog and have tons of visitors but your readers don’t feel they really know you. I think one should let their personality come out in their blog when they can. P.S. I never received an email from you,just read about it today. I will try to get a reply off to you asap. JJ
@hyperX,
Haha great! Congratulations! If you could be able to make lots of money online (e.g $1,000 above a month? Too low?) , then you’ll the the next established successful blogger! :D
@Salwa,
Perhaps there are additional attitudes that should be included in the list? But if you’re able to carry all of these 12 attitudes, you’ll be considered as a very good blogger already. :)
@jj,
You’re right! Communication between readers and bloggers is very important, don’t make your readers feel strange while reading your blog, and the reader might be your potential loyal reader.
Regarding the email I’ve sent, don’t worry I’ll resend it again later on. :D
Nice to meet you JJ, I hope you’re in good health right now. Rest more, and back to blog in excellent condition. I hope to see you again here next time. :)
Take Care!
