If someone asks you What’s the best way to Build a Successful Blog? What will your answer be? (don’t forget to share it in comments). Here’s my answer! Simply, own qualities which Probloggers possess! Who’re Probloggers! I’ve written a short definition of word Problogger, I ain’t sure that it’s OK.. So, don’t worry. Hope you’ll be agreed on my definition;
“Problogger” = (Professional Blogger). Blogger, who has achieved success in blogging or has a HUGE experience of blogging. e.g. Darren Rowse. Or a person perfectly has a great knowledge, expertise in his/her particular niche.
So, how one can catch out the qualities of pro ones? Do we to build a blog like theirs? No!
All is what, we’ve to find out their qualities and have to own them! Also develop your own strategies to market your blog differently, intelligently and perfectly in the blogosphere if you’ve some worth reading content (needed, when you don’t have an established blog). Follow, this simple tip as far as possible. It’ll hopefully be very beneficial to you (if you’re a blogger). As, I’m also a one like you are (possibly).
So, our goal (probably) is same. I mean, my goal is learning problogging and hopefully yours too. 
Qualities of Probloggers
So, I thought. It would be a really good idea of compiling a list of those plain qualities in a blog post and then making it publish at GuidePlease.com, to let our readers get the most important qualities of Probloggers’. So, here it starts.
1. Work Hard
This is the greatest quality that if a person or blogger don’t have it! Then, he/she can never have the chance to glimpse at success in blogging (never.), but also in all the things that are done working hard except those which are VERY easy, or bad things (gambling like etc.). People think that blogging is a place, where they can earn a great deal of money very quickly without working hard. But, they forget that ‘Success lies behind Hard Work‘. What I wanted to show you from this quality is not hard to understand, all matters hard work. If one doesn’t. Then, forget that success will ever be there with him/her.
Brian Clark, Darren Rowse and Daniel Scocco are all probloggers (you know) and they were never like they’re NOW. A single thing changed their lives, here’s it. Hard Work but on RIGHT things. Do it.
Don’t Miss Is Producing High Quality Content Enough?
2. Never Give up
Failures are one of important aspect of humans lives, we all someday were failure for sure! Why? Because, you’re failed so that you could learn from it (take it as a blessing from God). Everyone goes through this, this is what enables you to learn from itself. Making mistakes are included in humans nature OK. So, we make it. We learn from it. But, still there are awesome mans, who got their accomplishment because they were failures earlier and didn’t give up TRYING to achieve the goals they’re living for. You’ve to do it and have not to worry that you did it. Instead of that, enjoy the learnings waiting for you from the failure. Giving up always an option but it’s not only the option. Enjoy your failures. And don’t think of Give up ever, give up if you’re after what that is wrong (recommended).
3. Wish to Achieve Goal
We cannot be succeeded if we don’t have a goal for doing a particular work. Isn’t it? Bloggers are simple people with money is being sowed in their minds while dreaming 
in most stories, I’m known of. You’ve any goal? That you want to accomplish like I’m having a goal of being a Problogger (I love this). You also would have been struggling for a particular goal, but do you have strong desires to accomplish? It is the thing that I want you to. You must have to be steadfast in case you’re running after something, that you love! Have powerful wishes to achieve your goal. Firmly, it’ll help you to overcome errors in your journey of accomplishment. Be steady! Same, BIGGIES (probloggers) have done, when they would not had achieve their goals . You aren’t that different from those who’ve got what they had been working on.
4. Consistent
Consistency means to work, process or to perform a particular task regularly without changing anything over a period of time. Why one should need this? Merely, it is the quality of doing the same work, performing a task e.g. publishing a post daily, writing etc. One thing, I’ve got from those probloggers activities whom I examine is that they’re consistent on their schedules for various things like researching about the topic, writing, publishing and networking (possibly, I’m correct). If a blogger isn’t consistent, then he/she cannot be a success because they don’t stick to things that are needed for a successful journey. Be consistent with your posting schedule and also on building a network that is essential for natural traffic.
5. Sociable – Being friendly
Sociable means talking, engaging and being friendly with other people (especially through social sites). Building a network around yourself, is excellent idea that probloggers are doing. A great deal of online engaging activities are taking place on facebook, twitter and on other social networking sites by these great bloggers, why they all spend enough time in building their network? One cannot understand, if he/she don’t know what can you earn from networking with like-minded people. Personally,
I’m trying to be sociable to build my own network around this blog. More than 60% of my day time, I spend on facebook, commenting other blogs, reading others’ blogs doing other social things that I think can help me build a better network. And my next target is Linkedin, because I’ve seen a good amount of professional bloggers are spending their time on this network. And are engaging with like-minded people, so do am I. From my personal experience with Linkedin of previous week, that I’m enough active at linkedin found that this is a great place, where one can grow with other awesome bloggers not that quickly, but enough, also you can be advised from experts and professionals.
Make use of social networking sites in the way you can benefit from them. Not like what, you could distract yourself from the important work. Build Network, like probloggers.
Don’t forget the Interview with Devesh Sharma from Blokube
6. Thirst for Knowledge
Probloggers read immense stuff on a regular basis online from the web, they are not blessed with knowledge-already, mean they don’t have the knowledge automatically nor from magic! But, they learnt the things they share, either from other people or from their own techniques, experiments. And then, collect the information they’ve, showing it in the form of a post! And that’s it. They’re thirsty, they’re lovers of knowledge! They’re ones who love to experiment and share results on their own blog, to get it touched by people who need it. Unlike those, who want to write without reading about what they’re writing on . Similarly, you’ve to. Be thirsty for knowledge! Or write what you don’t know.
7. Not Money
Blogging is not all about earning a suitable money from it. But, it’s about exhibiting your own expertise, skill and all the things you know. It’s about SHARING. It’s about building a network online (I think). It’s about showing who you are. It’s never about being quick rich from blogging without HUGE efforts to grow. But, unfortunately here bloggers come to earn only without hard work. The bloggers who’ve got accomplished their goals were not running after money when their journey was on the track! but worked to make their blog a success, they cared about their readers, not about getting rich. In case, you want your blog to be a success for you. Forget about bucks in first place. And be sure, to run after money once you’ve a blog with a good feedback from Big bloggers about your blog so that you could get access to Lockers filled with big money.
8. Passionate about work
Before you get started with any kind of work, make it sure that you like spending time there. Be passionate about it, proud to have such a work. It might not be possible for most to be passionate about a particular work. And if it is. Simply, try another work. For example, sometimes I got a great love for writing some posts for this blog, but couldn’t write. Because, I’m tired sometimes doing browse. I simply get rid of the work at such conditions and start watching any movie by any of my favorite actors on Youtube to rest for some time. Just after feeling that I’ve gotten rid of weary, IT’s TIME TO GET BACK! And I start once again, this will overcome writer’s block, will keep you motivated and thus you won’t loss your energy and other benefits are there.
I recommend doing it. And I’m sure Probloggers’ habit would be the same, except few ones.
9. Care About Readers
I’ve seen the way that Probloggers engage with their readers in each post and care about their readers always. Probloggers’ write content that engage readers and makes them obliged to comment and share their thoughts. They don’t care about their SERP (search engine results page) rankings, than their loyal readers. Love your readers, make them the thing that you want most. Concentrate on SEO too, but not more than your readers (said once again). Audience of a blog is greatly important asset for a blogger, you need to care about them.

10. Focus – On ONE Thing at a Time
Including me, newbies try to do all things at once like content generation, driving traffic, link building and other important things. Focusing separately on each important aspect of a successful blog is what needs to be done. Never multiple things (most times it harms), try to make schedules for all those which are needed. It is one of the things probloggers have, they’re patient. They don’t go through shortcuts, tricks, illegal things. Be consistent on your schedules, show your power to your fellow-bloggers and be different. Focus. But not like I did earlier. Intelligently, one by one on different aspect. This will empower you to focus completely, powerfully.

A big thanks, my friend for such an Motivating comment to write more Lengthy, and descriptive. Much Appreciated!
Enjoy, more. I’m sure, that future will bring more Explicable posts here at this blog. 
Hope to get, better from your blog too.
Again a wonderful article from guideplease… You explained most of the points. One foolish thing that i did was trying too many things at a time… Recently I drop many of my blogs and concentrating 2at a time..
I think I have other qualities in your list.
Thank you once more for accumulating all such details in a single post.
Ramnath, thanks for your second comment here at our blog. We’re hoping that you’ll be further follower of blog, and will always be obliged to comment.
I’d still ask you to handle and concentrate on ONE blog if you’ve time for two blogs, then do freely. But, I suggest what I do.
Keep Blogging.
Sure, I will keep following this blog…
Hi Mairaj
A Problogger not only has a passion about his work, he should also has a passion about helping others with his knowledge. He must be quick in replying to his blog readers queries. I’m sharing my latest experience with one of the problogger, I recently sent a personal mail & a PM on FB to one of the renowned blogger asking some help from him. it has been more than 4 days i’m awaiting a response from him. If you love being called a problogger you must be quick to respond to the queries that your blog readers are asking from you.
Hi tauseef bro……Can you please share your query here may be one of us can help you in resolving your issue.
Hi Tauseef,
I think probloggers are HUGE busy, and usually they respond when they’re free from some special works, or they don’t! if query is received from an unsuitable way, they must respond when you contact them using Contact form or form that is created for the sole purpose of asking questions. I agree, that they must be quick in replying, but what If you would be a problogger, and I ask you something while you’re on a vacation? Or attending an event, or wordcamp. Or have more than 30-50 guest posts still to be reviewed? (REALLY!) And more than 200+ pending comments?
Sure, you wouldn’t be able to respond at a suitable time. For probloggers, it’s very hard to concentrate and engage with each reader they receive. They even are unable to respond to their commentators with important queries, then how one can expect response from such person on facebook? While you’ve sent message Facebook, you mustn’t do that ever when the message receiver is a Problogger like Darren Rowse or any problogger. It becomes extremely hard thing for a problogger to respond when there are hundreds of message received on their facebook account.
Anyway, if you’re going to query any problogger. Be sure, that you’re doing it using RIGHT way. Not through Facebook, nor in the way that they had chosen to query.
Use the form that is created for query (if available) or use Contact form.
Hopefully, you’ll receive answer. Anyway, if possible try us to make it possible to be answered. We and my fellow-blogger, Sandeep Kumar from SEOBloggersTips.com will be happy to help, as he’s a good guy helping always.
Don’t you think that the problogger (you’ve contacted) is busy?
BTW, I’m honor to have a commentator like you. Thanks for your valuable comment.
Hi Miraj
As you know i recently came up with a Hosting niche blog. I contacted to a blogger who has good expertise in promoting affiliate programs. I asked him a simple question about the ways to promote hosting related affiliate. There’re various ways to promote affiliate programs but all of them doesn’t work for all programs. I just wanted if someone can share his own experience in promoting these kind of programs. Right now i’m totally dependent on SERP traffic & exploring some other ways like email marketing & SMM to promote the same
Hi Tauseef,
Actually, I think you contacted Zac Johnson (I informed your about him). Yeah. He is a problogger, and super affiliate ever I seen. Good to hear, that you’ve started Affiliate Marketing, and looking for ways to promote hosting related affiliate. Not a big problem, but you need just to check Zac’s site ZacJohnson.com where he shares all his experience with Affiliate Marketing, and also a lot of information that an Affiliate needs to Grow. I suggest you check out his blog, he has already share several ways for promotion.
Hope that you’ll love reading his blog, and will share any future problem with us. Thanks for commenting Bro, Good Luck for your new site. BTW, you must start a blog where you should share the info you collect on daily basis, and thus make it grow more and gradually email marketing comes, more subscribers will be there in your list and then, introduce them to your Affiliate site. Caution: Do Email Marketing effectively, intelligently! Don’t worry, and invest some bucks to purchase an account of Aweber for better email marketing, as MailChimp doesn’t allow Affiliate marketing through their email marketing software.
Commitment and dedication are the two ingredients which must be there if you are concern for the success. Once you will be having dedication for your work you will start working hard automatically.
And commitment comes when you really want success. And if you are committed for your work then you will never quit.
Money is a by product and once you will be on the correct line with the authenticity of your work then money will start pouring. Blogging have thumb rule that never run behind money.
Absolutely correct kulwant bro…..money is really a by product of blogging and if you once pick the right track then Money and fame will automatically follow you.
Readers like Kulwant Bro, and Sandeep bro are always welcomed and do share their powerful opinions with us. So, do I try to appreciate them BEST.
You’re Right no doubt. Working hard to choose the right track is the first most important thing that a new blogger should do first, then success wouldn’t be that far if those ingredients mentioned by Kulwant are required and dedication is what makes a blogger stand up, motivated and passionate about the work.
Thanks for sharing your views friend. Glad to hear from you both.
Honestly, I still haven’t understood the meaning of ‘Success’ yet. You know, a person is successful within his own life IF he believes so. For the public to know him, it’s a social factor. So if a blogger thinks that he is going good enough, even though he’s no SO popular, then it’s fine if he goes on the ‘money’ factor, I believe. What do you think?
Very true Raaj…..most of the people don’t realize this and they try to find success throughout their life.
What I think? That you’re sharing TRUE, that it is.
Most believe that they’re doing good, are successful and will be probloggers soon in the blogospher. But, what the truth is How much sociable he/she is. How bigger is his network around his blog. How much people like his work, and stick because he/she is doing good work. Those were the points, I think make a blogger a successful one.
Thanks for your comment Raaj.
Afternoon, Mairaj
Breaking down and exposing what makes a Problogger is useful in many ways. Having a set process or plan to follow can help non-probloggers learn and start to implement these qualities you mention above. The good thing, most of these qualities can be learnt be most bloggers.
It’s a long race, that will tests us and make us want to give up but we must be strong. Questions for you, would you call someone a Problogger is they made no money at all?
Good Afternon Simmeon,
A blogger isn’t a problogger if he/she doesn’t have expertise in Blogging. I call probloggers, only those who’re experts. Never those, who’ve earned money from it as people are there, earning money from their blogs without having a little experience in blogging.
So, simple.
I like the way of your writing and you’ve depicted wonderful points here.
Most of us especially me fail to focus one thing that if I plan to write article and suddenly open Facebook or something else and concentrate with it, this is the big weakness point about me.
So Probloggers are basically manage their time wisely and not to concentrate about many things, I need to learn many things from this article.
Thanks to the wonderful art(icle).
-
I must say that you have out done yourself in this post. I like the 2 first tips that you have mentioned.
Work hard and never give up!
If those 2 steps are applied then most people will be more successful.
Thanks for the lovely article pal.
Thanks Kharim! I’m noticing you’re often commenting here. So, I’m glad to see you here not rarely but often. Thanks for all this.
This is because you are writing great articles.
Keep up the good work pal.
You must be kidding! Yeah. I’m just trying to be better, while you’re trying to call me great.
Hi Mairaj,
I certainly term the points you have pointed out in your article as “Ten Commandments” for Bloggers. I might as well make a image of the points that you have mentioned and print it out and stick it at my wall because the points really are the most important stuffs for achieving success.
In fact the mentioned points not only applies to blogging but also in all other aspects of life and all other professions.
Thanks for the great article dude.
Welcome Shiva,
Thanks a lot for such kindest words for the article, actually I’ve been copying qualities and activities of Probloggers. And written this post to show off those qualities to my blog readers, and to my fellow bloggers.
I’d be really pleased to see those qualities as Commandments, and that you’re going to print and post it as a Wallpaper (which made me excited).
That would be honor for me, if it get done by YOU.
Exactly, for a happy life those qualities are recommended and I say they’re must.

Thanks for your comment by the way.
Awesome Qualities in this post. i have already heard some point but today your post is very informative. i got some valuable way in this post. i will try our blogging really nice information about blogging thanks for sharing this
Hi Mairaj,
These ten points you mentioned here are must have qualities of the successful blogger,I would like to add here 1 More point that is Being specif i.e. writing to the point.
because today people don’t often read full article,they just read the one paragraph. so,being specif from the start helps,BTW thanks for providing this useful article.
Yeah, these all the qualities also apply to Successful Bloggers.
That’s what an useful tip and quality is i.e. being specific. It helps bloggers to survive for sure, but also doing this most times doesn’t help, because you would not be providing other related detail in the same post where you’re trying to be specific.
BTW, thanks for your comment! And sharing your own view with us.
One of the main qualities of a pro blogger is that he has expertise
All the pro bloggers have been in a certain niche for years now 
Sahl, thanks for your comment. But, I’m not agree with your point. Expertise, isn’t a quality! Sorry, but it is. However, expertise is a must to have, if one wants to be a Problogger or Successful Blogger.
Expertise isn’t a quality of a pro bloggers? you think pro bloggers aren’t experts in their fields?
Hey Mairaj,
This is one of the best articles on your blog, this article can inspire anyone.
Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Thanks Mairaj for shearing your views. It is very consistent job. If someone looses the charm he can’t achieve the goal. I want to add a point that blog must be to the point and short. Very long blog sometimes people looses attention to read the entire blog. Thanks again.
Mairaj you’ve written a great post here and put good qualities of a pro blogger. Passion, knowledge and consistency are all the qualities in becoming great at blogging. For me knowledge is key, thanks for sharing bro.
I was wondering while seeing the author ‘Is this a fifteen year old boy who wrote this?’. Such a great effort son Mairaj. Keep going. Cheers!
Really a nice round up of the great qualities of a pro blogger. Most of the pro bloggers I have seen so far are quite hard working and determined towards their goals. We should always try to learn these qualities and put them inside ourselves.
I loved your point that every blogger must have thirst of knowledge. I usually call it the hunger of knowledge. Great article bro.
Wow! I must this is an awesome post on qualities of a ProBlogger, you have done really good job. All the mentioned points are really great, mostly being consistent, passionate about work & care for readers. Thanks Mairaj for this wonderful and inspiring post
Great Post Mairaj
Most of the bloggers fail because of the lack of patience
blogging is more of hardwork and patience
The post is stunning. All the points are valid and will always be valid.
This is the first time i am visiting your blog, i am not sure why you have not put ads on your blog coz you have an awesome alexa rank and content is very useful.
Bro you are shocking me daily with your writing skills
Really you are writing like a pro blogger. Exclude about blogging part, But I’m sure you’ll be a pro writer in future. Your skills on selecting headlines was really appreciable.
BTW Can I know you wrote this whole post your self or with help of another founder of this blog ? How much time you spent to complete this article ?
After a long time, Mr. Sai Krishna got the time to check a blog from a little poor boy.
So sad that he did neglect us. haha. Joking, thanks buddy for check out and comment.
.
This post was written by me. And it took me more than 3 days finish it.
Really, those words motivated me to write more and more. haha, BTW that pro writer is the word, that I don’t think suits me
There is no substitute for hard work. No matter what ones take up, hard work has to be put in. In blogging as well, hard work will pay off be it content creation or promotion. Hardwork and consistency is the key to success in this field.
Passion and consistency can help you to reach great heights. Never write a blog on which you are not expert, soon or Later you surely will loose the interest.
Mairaj,
This is really a wonderful post to read on. It will not only inspire other bloggers but will also give them a guide line so they are not moved out of the track. In fact can be considered as a checklist of blogging. However, few things as of all times are also common in the field of blogging. If someone does not have a passion for the job, its “WORK” for him, if he has so its “LIFE” for him. Whether be it blogging or some other carrier. Will regularly visit your site for some great insights!
I think that Blogger should be Consistent and being friendly because these are connects the people and share our thought them and listen their view. These are build a good relationship and So we can success in blogging. Your post is really awesome and very inspirational, motivated and passionate about the work. Thanks for nice job!!
Thanks Ravi… I did really expect the same, and did focus on inspiring, motivating and making other bloggers PASSIONATE to it. Glad you commented! Keep visiting.
