The thirst for high blog traffic is never ending. Bloggers anxiously look forward to readers’ comments and responses garnered from social media. It’s almost like a heroin junkie yearning for their next fix. The few in the upper echelons of the blogosphere seem to selfishly benefit from secrets they would rather die with than share with newbies.

The truth is you do not necessarily need elite grammar skills and an elephant sized marketing budget to gain online traction for your blog. 2015’s Google reports showed Njoki Chege’s City Girl as the second most widely read blog in Kenya. Here are 5 significant factors that are attributable to Njoki Chege’s stellar blogging success.
1. The blog has a clear identity– Njoki’s stand since day one is shedding light on the errors of Kenya’s contemporary society. She has done this excellently since her maiden post. Her bold identity has attracted thousands of like-minded readers from different corners of the 254. A common reasons why blogs fail to take off is because writers constantly fleet from one area of life to the other, in a desperate search for traffic.
2. Her format is easily scannable– Notice how her articles begin with an executive bullet point list summary? Her clever use of short paragraphs and rhetoric one liners help retain readers’ attention all the way to the end. Its no wonder a first timer will find themselves magnetically drawn to read more articles on City Girl.
3. Timing – The law of demand and supply states that the lower the supply, the higher the demand. Njoki’s strategy of publishing just a couple of articles on a monthly basis always leaves her fans yearning for more. The method which you publish new articles matters more than the content since too much circulation makes readers become indifferent towards your blog.
4. She overlooks her haters –As an active blogger, you’re bound to encounter readers who will spew salty remarks. How do you overcome this type of negativity? Never confront them with a fiery “You need to grow up and mind your own business” rant. Why? Focusing on negativity will ruin your happiness. Two, people will always talk whether you’re posts are whack or excellent. Finally, why waste your time on naysayers?

5. Blend your words with personality– Most people are of the opinion that Njoki Chege is a no-nonsense, posh and assertive “digital” lady. But how do they know this yet they’ve never met her personally?

Always write from the heart and never confine you to traditional boxes of what a blog post should look like.

For those readers who want to make their blogging dreams a reality, I have good news for you.
