The technology niche is quite famous in the blog-o-sphere these days. Hundreds of blogs are created on the tech niche everyday. Almost 3/4th of those hundred blogs go into the darkness and a few of them rise up to the extent expected by their owners. This post is written with the failure of many tech blogs in mind and to ensure that the people who are reading this post could rise to the occasion and make success out of their technology based blogs. Three tips are going to be published in this post which will help you to make your tech blog success.
How to create a Tech blog for success:
1. Concentrate only on your tech blog
If you don’t follow this step, your tech blog is ensured to go into the darkness where thousands of other blogs are. If you have any other blog, hire someone or tell some friend to update it regularly because concentrating on two different blogs, with one of them at still in its beginning level is very difficult which leads to the difficulty of management of both the blogs. So, it is the best to concentrate only on your tech blog. You need to manage only your tech blog. Edit the design, coding, widgets, settings, etc. on your blog. Concentrate only on your tech blog and you will see the flourishing results in front of your eyes.
2. Post Regularly
Posting frequently on your blog is one of the most required things when you have a blog. Eespecially, when you create a new blog, posting regularly keeps the blog alive and famous in the blog-o-sphere. Technology is a broad niche and you can get many topics at once by searching the internet and reading technology magazines. Cover those topics regularly and keep posting at your tech blog to keep it alive and that totally works in getting many visits. You can see more profits of posting frequently in this post – How can you post frequently at your blog?
3. Promotion and Marketing
Nobody would know about your blog if it is not promoted and marketed well. A new blog, in the beginning is unknown to anybody. Let me tell you the step-by-step process to actually promote your blog at its inception. You have launched your blog and have published the first post, now publish your blog in Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and different social networking sites. The next step is to submit it into search engines.
- How to promote your blog Ninja style
- How to promote blog posts for maximum exposure
- Where to submit your blog
Those were the three ways I recommend you to gain success from your all-new technology based blog. I hope this post was helpful to you and you would gain success from your new tech blog(If you have any).

Hey harsh, As you said its important to be active and two or more authors will help with updates, at least two contents daily.
I’m running one and i know its hard to get in the first page but my passion is on tech gadgets stick with it
Thank you for this article
The information is very useful for all the tech bloggers……
Thanks for the whole info. However, the thing that I want to ask is about the 3rd point out there- the promotion. Please tell me, can we use reddit for this purpose? How likely are you to recommend reddit to your users?
@Taha
Reddit is holygrail of viral traffic. However it would take time to understand & get your article pop on Reddit. Spend some time reading & learning about Reddit traffic & get started. It’s useful.
Excellent observation. Everyone wants to be a tech blogger, but not everyone is really willing to put the time and effort that’s required with it. Patience is key here.
Creating a blog isnt what makes a blog, if one does not have the passion on a niche its difficult writing contents on that niche especially when it comes to technology and I believe persistence is also important in making a blog success
Hi Harsh,
Being a adsense publisher of nano type, in my quest for some improvement or doubt clearance, when ever I search on google for solutions, as links of your blog posts are prominently displayed most of the time, so very often I go through your blog posts on diverse related issues. They are good and helpful as ever.
My first blog was not a tech type but was an early success , now not doing so well as I did not put in consistent efforts in content update and promotion. Second blog was not a blog at all but sort of off repeated experiment in the form of database driven info site with multiple urls. And it is just inching ahead … already so many are there with same contents.
Again thinking of starting something new, but do not know what… !!
But when ever I start, i will keep in mind your valuable inputs.
Thanks
I ve a technology blog and I am planning to run advertising campaign on facebook to reach people. Is running ads on fb is fine with google Adsense? or Is it against the Adsense policy?
No Running an ad on Google or Facebook is not against AdSene Policy.
Thanks for the great post . I dint know i was missing many things till i read this post .
Regards
lovejeet
I have a technical blog which has android tutorials .I have many questions ,Kindly answer them
1. when do we know our blog is doing well?? how many views per day ??
2.how often should I post ??
3. I have a free blog on wordpress.com ,I have heard we can hardly earn from free blogs and its better to have your own website .But I can’t manage a website as m working and I don’t have much time .So can a person really earn by free wordpress blogs or its better to have a website ??
Thanks in advance 🙂
1) There is no limit to measure the success. But a good blog can be judged by
No of comments
Social share
Revenue generated
Quality of ads
2) Depending upon your availability of time. I would recommend to follow a timely schedule. Even if you can’t post everyday, a good idea is to post in a timely manner. For example: on Monday, Wed, Friday, Sunday. You can also take advantage of post scheduling feature.
3) There are lots of limitations with WordPress.com blogs, like you can’t use AdSense or other 3rd party ad networks to monetize. You can learn about the differences over here: https://www.shoutmeloud.com/wordpress-com-vs-wordpress-org-which-blog-platform.html
Google AdSense is not the only means to make money with your blog. If its on a free platform, u can also make a lot of money. It takes time though. If you have your audience, you can go into affiliate marketing. If your blog is popular, companies meet you to advertise on your blog. Concentrate on making it popular, whether free or paid.
yeah..I do agree with you.Posting on regular basis is an important factor.Even if you get less traffic in initial stage of your blog,don’t worry about it.It is just about a matter of time.
It’s quite difficult to sustain a tech blog — with Panda trying to kill everything that looks spam.
I’m really get boost for me to make my blog success from this post because my blog is also related to technology
These days Marketing of your blog is very important otherwise u will get lost in dark..
He’s right creating and managing a new blog is harder than it looks But if you know what market your blog it won’t be so hard at firs
There are thousands of tech blogs out there,but this article will help the new bloggers to develop their tech blog in the right manner. Thanks for the post.
Hi Vinayak, nice to read this blog post. I would like to ask you one thing that there are software like IBP will you recommend any of them to use them along with your blog promotion.
waiting for your reply.
Posting regularly is the biggest challenge and fun in blogging.
You are right many of tech blogs are going to darkness as bloggers lacks on updating their tech blog. So, it is very important to update blog reagularly
Yep you are right people are more interested in creating blog and not in promotion. I think, there they fall. Creating a blog, running a blog, and promoting a blog are three different thing.
Creating a blog these day have been so easy and it does not mean that your blog will be succeed easily . Concentration and promotion of blog is so important to make is success
My tech blog exploded after reading your tips. Eespecially the post regularly thing and directory submission……..2 days 19500 hits…..and its a free site….now i am going to buy a domain……could you please writer an article explaining the necessary steps required to make sure that traffic is not lost when we change a domain name.
Concentrate on your area of expertise. If you are not choosing the best known area of yours. You certainly have more possibility for failure.
My Advise over blogging.
1.Never Give up if you failed in blogging
2.Believe it blogging will one day gives you an independent life.
3.Its not really easy to make money with your blog. You have to work a lot.
4.Create a community that speaks with your post & Comment is very important.So use Twitter & Facebook regularly
5.Create a Unique & worthy content.
6.Love what you doing & Do what you love.
Thanks for this post Vinayak.Do well.
Posting frequently should have been defined in better manner else they would be flagged off as Ping Spammer isnt it?
running a tech blog is very competitive these days, you should have team of 3-4 members who are active…
As a great man once said: “Quality is Paramount”.. so, the content is king, above all these seo stuff..
it is nice article, and useful for new blogger like me ..
i like to work on a single blog at time , and give all force on that blog only ..
hope for best .
thank you for this informative post
Vinayak,
Nice Post.
I have a question: How frequently we should update our blog? Can you suggest any frequency?
It depends. If you are covering Apple stuff, then you will have to update more frequently; perhaps 4-5 times a day. But keep in mind, it’s not just about quantity… Quality matters the most!
Concentrating on single blog is very necessary especially in initial days. And regular posting and promotions add flavor in the blog.
Yeah lots of tech blogs are created everyday! 😉
