When a new blogger decides to start blogging, the first
thing which hits his mind is " Which Topic Should I
Blog on?". Than he starts searching for the topics which suites him well. Every topic is
successful indeed but it depends on the blogger that how he executes his topic
through Blogging. Today i will discuss about Celebrity Blogging. I will share my
story with you. With my experience i will try to help you on how to make a
successful Celebrity Blog.
When i started blogging on a celebrity exact one year back,
some Pro-Bloggers advised me to leave celebrity blogging as a
celebrity blog does not have much scope. Well i continue blogging. I admit that
a Top Class Celebrity Blog can never be compared to a Top Class Tech Blog but it
does not means that a Celebrity blog is a complete failure.
One year back when i was learning blogging i decided to start
blogging of my own but i was confused on Topic. As i was not having much
knowledge on Tech and Blogger Tricks so i decided not to step in the Tech
Blogging. So after months of confusion, one day i decided to blog on the
celebrity i like the most and it was Indian Mega Star Salman Khan. Now the
question arises why i chose to do so ? Well the answer is quite simple. You can
execute perfectly only than when you take deep interest in any work. As a die
hard Salman Khan Fan, i decided to blog on him. But just being a die hard fan
cannot make you a successful Celebrity Blogger. You have to follow the blogging
Rules. The same rules which every blogger follows for success. There are
advantages and disadvantages too of a Celebrity Blog which i will mention later
in my article. First let me share with you what i have achieved in past one year
with my blog:
- Facebook Fans ( Over
200K ) - Twitter ( Over 6K )
- RSS/E-mail Subscribers ( Over
4K ) - Decent Traffic ( Received 1
Million Pageviews This August : Stats verified by MBT )
So after looking at the above mention stats of SkFanClub, do
you still believe that Celebrity Blogging is a waste of Time? If you talk about
Earnings, i earn a decent amount of Money too.
How to Blog on a Celebrity?
Well this is something which must cleared to the newbie
bloggers. Blogging on a Celebrity means to give the latest News Updates,
Wallpapers, Videos, Movie Updates etc. The readers of your blog will be the Fans
of the stars you are blogging on. For Example, I blog on Salman Khan so my
readers are Salman Khan Fans.
How to Get News Updates of a Star?
As a n individual, obviously you have no direct source of
News Updates of a celebrity but this is the best part of Celebrity Blogging. You
do not have to panic on posts in fact posts will come to you. Follow Newspapers
and Media Websites. Join Media Fan Pages on Facebook. But the best way to get
Celebrity Updates is GOOGLE. Just go to Google and write the name of the
celebrity you are blogging on. In my case it is Salman Khan. So this is how i search the news updates of him.
Simply i typed Salman Khan but not on the main page of
Google. I searched in the NEWS TAB. You can see in the left side. Here you will
get the Updates of the Celebrity from the Official Sources. Search up to 5 Pages
for daily updates. It is so simple. Wallpapers and Videos you can get from the
Media Fan Pages on Facebook and Twitter. For Example, if you blog on any Indian
Celebrity, you must follow the Fan Pages of Business Of Cinema, Apun Ka Choice,
Bollywood Hungama etc. Also you must follow the Bollywood Fan Pages too.
Although many are not official pages but they can help you a lot.
How to post The News Updates?
Remember, don't copy paste the news exactly. Read the news updates and
post them in your own words. Try to explain in better way for your readers.
Sometimes it happens that there is no choice except to Copy Paste the news.
Don't worry. It is totally legal but remember to give the full credits to the
original news source and always write the copied news or statement in a
Blockqoute as Google does not consider it Copied Content otherwise you and your
blog have to face penalty from Google.
Create Uniqueness
Think for a while. When a reader can get the same news
updates from other sources than why he should come to your blog ? This is where
you have to work. Create uniqueness in your work. Try to publish the news
updates as soon as possible. Try to update only the confirmed updates not the
rumors as in Entertainment field, there are many rumors around every day.
Make yourself Socially Strong
This is another great part of Celebrity blogging. You can
build a Strong Social Network. If 50 people visits a Tech blog, only 1
out of 50 will like the Social Pages of the blog but on the Celebrity blog, at
least 10 out of 50 visitors will follow your Social Pages.
You can build a
strong Page on Facebook. Here are some tips for you to increase Likes of
Celebrity Fan Pages:
- Do not use your Facebook Page much for Traffic. Means do not share many links
on Pages to get traffic. - Share Pictures only because Fans Like, Comment and Share the Pictures of the
celebrity. - Post as much as you can. Try to post a Good Wallpaper of the celebrity after
every 1-2 hours. - Add the fans of the same celebrity on whom you are blogging in your personal
Facebook profile.
If you follow these tips, you will indeed have a strong
Social Network but Keep Patience ! You will not get thousands of Fans in one
night. It will take months and years.
Do not stuck to one point only
Celebrity blog does not means that you only share news
updates. This will not give you much traffic from Search Engines so try to add
one alternative topic on your blog but choose the topic carefully so the fans
should not get irritate. For Example, i share Box Office Updates of latest
Bollywood movies along with Salman Khan. It gives me good traffic from Search
Engines. But for the alternate topic you must have a good knowledge of it.
Final Words:
Follow the blogging rules and do not be biased towards your
favorite star. Means if you love someone than don't post fake news and
statements to degrade the arch rivals of your Star. Keep Patience and keep going
on. Be active. Post the Updates as soon as possible. I just hope this brief post
might have helped you to better understand how to run and maintain a blog on
your favorite celebrity. Go start writing and build your own community of die
hard fans for your James Bond. :)
Peace and blessings!
