If English is not your first language, here are 5 Tips on How to Become a Successful Non-English Speaking Blogger:
1. Be confident with your skills.
Believe that you can do it. Do not listen to your negative self talk or comments from friends that you can not do it. Others have already proven it.
2. Persevere.
There is no such thing as a get-rich-quick formula in blogging or in online marketing. I have been following a few bloggers and online marketers and they have been learning it and doing it for an average of 5 years before they became successful and known in the online marketing circle.
3. Look for Role Models
If you look properly, there are now a number of successful bloggers from different language backgrounds. Follow them. But be selective and get to know them well. By reading their posts, listening to their audios and watching their videos, you will know what they value in life. While it is true that many internet marketers are very good in taking money from the unsuspecting customers’ credit cards, you will also find people who are very clear with their values, ethics and integrity.
4. Do not create your own barriers.
Language is a barrier that we, non-English Speakers, are always uncomfortable with. If we live in an English speaking country, there is a possibility of dressing ourselves down and behaving like we are somehow inferior. So, it is important to get over this barrier in our minds. Then, our good attitudes will follow.
5. Learn as much as you can
There are practically hundreds of training online and offline on how to be a successful blogger or how to make an income online. Learn about blog content, marketing strategies, distribution and traffic. Also, learn to consolidate your learning and stick to your own strategies. Learn from mentors. You do not have to pay thousands to be mentored. Once you have identified a blogger with similar values as yours, learn from them. Follow them on social media. Get in touch with them.
Although blogging and online marketing can be very overwhelming for most people, those who persevere and build their confidence in what they do can ultimately reach their goal of making it their full time earner. And believe that there is a real possibility that you can be one of the successful non-English speaking bloggers in the near future.
All the best!

Hi Roslyn,
I enjoyed reading and I believe that although your tips are directed at non-English Speakers, they can be applied to someone who is starting out as well because most of us question our ability when we start something unfamiliar. Having great role models and being willing to learn and apply definitely help.
Great post.
