Many blogs are not popular. Unknown. Infamous. Does a blog become popular just because of luck? No. It needs work. Time. And many more. There are many reasons that your blog may not become popular. But there are reasons bloggers say because their blogs are not popular too. Not all of these reasons are true though. Some are nearly true, others true, others false. Let's see what I mean.
1. People say they don't know HTML
When people find popular blogs, they find out that those blogs have a cool template. They think the owner of the blog is a web designer or a person who knows HTML or something like that. The truth is, anyone could edit their HTMLs. There are countless numbers of HTML tutorials on the internet which say everything you have to do.
2. People say they didn't get a good blog url
It is true that most of the good urls are taken by people who never use them. So if you are finding a url, you should search several times before you could get it. But that is not a problem. Ok, we could say with a good url, the blog looks cool but it doesn't really matter. It matters for your blog content, not your url.
3. People say other people don't know their blogs
This is totally a lame excuse. All of the famous blogs were started just like you. You won't get 30,000 page hits overnight. The famous blogs have people who try. Who do their best to make their blogs popular. What can you do to let other people know about your blog? Make it visible to search engines. Share it on Facebook, Twitter etc. Stumble it on StumbleUpon. Pin it on Pinterest.
4. People just don't visit my blog although I blog once a WEEK
Don't expect people to visit your blog if you post once a week or in other words, rarely. You should post regularly. It is ok and acceptable that for a couple of days, you may become busy due to an upcoming test or for something similar. But once you are free, you should start posting again. Create a schedule. Or a target. "I will at least post once in two days".
5. People don't read my blog
People may not read a blog for several reasons. They may not like your template (I mentioned before you don't need to be a website designer in order to make your template good looking). They may not like the way you write. They may not like your content length. So download a good template or customize a blogger template into a good one, write in style: write the way people like to read (you need writing skills) and don't write too short or too long. Write in an ideal length.
