Hi Ravi,
Great article that will help both newbie bloggers and porblogger in their blogging journey. The tips are great and if one should implement them correctly, he surely will see maximum ROI.
For instance, blogging on WordPress.com, Google’s Blogger, etc is not the way to go, because it is more like building on someone’s else’s property where your stay is not guaranteed. So a self-hosted WordPress is certainly the best of all.
Also as a blogger, we’re certainly going to make mistakes with grammar, spelling, vocabulary, etc. So the use of blogging tools like Grammarly is important as it will help you identify vocabulary and grammatical errors and fix them accordingly.
Thanks so much for sharing!
thanks
