“5 Things I Learnt From Linda Ikeji – Nigerian Blogging Queen”



A Little Check On Linda Ikeji



It all started in 2006 when a young model decided to quit modelling and venture into something different. She started Linda Ikeji Blog for fun and never expected to make such fortune out of it, but with hardwork, patience and applying the right strategies, Nigeria’s most successful Entertainment blog was born.
5 Things I Learned From Linda Ikeji

This is one character every blogger should imbibe if you really want a busy blog that drives more traffic than you ever expected. A blog that is usually updated keeps readers coming back for more and especially if your articles are of high quality.

Not only would this be of interest to your readers, but also search engine bots would visit your blog regularly and in regards increase your blog page index time. You might not really know the impact this might have on your organic traffic until you try it out.

2. Numerous Articles Per Day

I understand that all blogging niches are not the same and I shouldn’t expect you to blog as much as 20 blogs per day just like Linda does. But truth be said, if you consider your blog a business and want to make a living off it, you would definitely research more on your area of interest and post a whole lotnumber of articles daily.

The benefits here are numerous.
After I tried out posting just 2 articles per day, I recorded a 68% increase in traffic
You would rank for multiple keywords on search engines, and in return get more traffic
Remember, more traffic equals higher earnings if you know you way around it.
It improves the likelihood of an advertiser approaching you for your ad space as this would show how busy and serious your blog is

You do not have an excuse to this whatsoever niche you find yourself, top bloggers use this strategy to outrank us. If you wish to increase your traffic, try this out.

3. She Breaks The News

One rule I hold on to is breaking the news in your Niche. I remember sometime last year when Google introduced the large skyscrapper ad unit, this blog was one of the first places most people read it. It turned in a whole lot of new readers and even backlinks from other bloggers who referenced to the article.

Linda Ikeji knows her onions uses this strategy also to wow her audience. This is another great aspect of this Nigerian blogger you should explore on your blog.

4. She Writes Her Opinion

Whatever people say shouldn’t always influence your opinion as a blogger. Your readers would love you more if you can give your thoughts and first hand experience concerning topics you cover on your blog. For instance, most times Linda writes what she feels about an issue, and would often ask her readers what they also think about it. I used that strategy in writing various case studies on this blog. Even in this post, I used that trick in getting you to read, I could have titled this post “5 Tis To Becoming a Successful Blogger in Nigeria“, but titling it “5 Things I Learnt From Linda Ikeji – Nigerian Blogging Queen” would gain more attention since i’m giving first hand information on what I learnt. It all points to the fact that, your readers would prefer your opinion over generic blog posts.

Though i haven’t been practicing this, but giveaways turn in a whole bunch of new readership and fans for any blog. Last month, Linda Ikeji gave out a Hundred Thousand Naira each (approx. $600) to ten active commentators on her blog. I can sure bet that this would really boost her blog readership. If you need a quick sprout in your blog’s traffic and dedicated readers, then try this strategy.

Conclusively, Linda Ikeji is one great blogger you can pick a whole lot of healthy blogging stuff from regardless what blogging Niche you find yourself. I hope you find this tips helpful in your blogging pursuit. Cheers and see you at the top.

“Nigerians are extremely passionate about football. The UCL is a favourite amongst a very large section of Nigerians. The trophy is coming at a time when the Champions League is at a critical stage. Heineken’s gesture of giving Nigerians an opportunity to actually feel the real UCL trophy live here in Lagos Nigeria this period is indeed laudable. It is a gesture that most Nigerians, including myself would not forget in a hurry”, the governor said.





While appreciating Heineken for finding Lagos worthy of being included as part of the destinations where the UCL trophy would berth, Governor Fashola also used the occasion to call on the youths across the nation to embrace sports to engage themselves meaningfully. He said “Nigeria is a country full of talents. We want our youths to challenge themselves and embrace sports, not just football but other sports as well. We want to see Nigerian sports men and women compete with the best and excel at the global stage. Sports is a viable tool for national development and those of us in government would do all we can to support sports development.”
Commenting on the rationale behind bringing the UCL Trophy to Nigeria, Marketing Director Nigeria Breweries Plc, Mr. Walter Drenth, said Nigeria would always be an important part of Heineken’s® activities. “It is the objective of Heineken to open the world of its consumers by ensuring they get the very best experiences from Heineken wherever they are in the world.”





He pointed that The UEFA Champions League has a long and distinguished heritage and is the pinnacle of European club football. “Heineken® strives to ignite fans conversations. This year’s UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour brings football fans around the world closer to the action in an unexpected and surprising way enabling them to interact with Heineken® and the tournament. As we get closer to the final, we will continue to engage with fans by offering legendary brand experiences.”


It would be recalled that the trophy arrived the country with the brand ambassador Ruud Gullit on March 13, 2014 was also show case to the Nigerian Breweries Plc Management and other members of staff as well as the distinguished distributors.
