Bloggers who want to become successful should focus on building a strong community around themselves. You can do this by creating content that fits within an existing niche or by starting your own blog. This helps you establish yourself as someone who knows what he/she is talking about, and gives people a reason to follow you.

Blogging communities are groups of bloggers who share similar interests. Communities offer networking opportunities as well as ideas for blog content. Writers can collaborate with each other and gain exposure by writing guest posts on their friend's blogs.

You may even be invited to guest post on your new friend's blogs.
