thanks john, as i say, i am wanting to figure out how to begin. it is a medium that i think i will be good at just because i need a place to write and i might as well hope for the paycheck from it eventually.
thanks for sharing and thanks for being so damn reliable, especially having the pho weekly meetings.
one thing to have training from the computer but another thing to put yourself out and meet your public. i am grateful for both!

Interesting view on posting frequency. It’s the opposite of what John does, as he prouds himself of never missing a single day without posting. Perhaps a strict posting schedule works better for some blogs and doesn’t matter for others.

In order to be an elite blogger and stand out from the crowd, you have to keep writing quality content on a consistent basis in order develop any kind of attention. If you are a new blogger, I would highly recommend that you start off by doing a lot of social media marketing to try to develop relationships with people on the social networks

I definitely agree with with your tips especially on the post frequency and content first before design.

Base on my opinion, for a new blog, the frequency do not play big role to gain huge readership – the content quality is.

It is because this type of blog’s focus is more towards attracting new visitors as mush as possible.

On the content and design, sometimes for those who just started blogging, they make themeselves unnecessarily busy by ‘designing’ their blog.

Although I do agree that design is important, there will nobody will come into our blog because of the design if there is nothing in our blog that can be read and be the reason for the new visitors to stay.

Conclusion – Content first and follow with other stuffs…

The best advice I can give anyone is not to post just for the sake of posting. Don’t say anything if you have nothing to say. You’re littering the Internet and wasting people’s time.

It would seem that you could consider yourself successful, if you could replace your everyday job income, and just live off the profit created by any sidebusiness you put work into.
