Starting a Blog is Easy, Its what comes next that isn't
Submitted by Gary on Wed, 04/23/2008 - 11:21.Starting a blog is very easy. There are tons of services where you can simply start a blog - many for free. It's what comes next that isn't easy.
A blog is like a baby. It needs feeding all of the time. You have to write content and build a library of article that hopefully interests somebody. That takes time but it takes creativity too - what to write about everyday? Sometimes you just run out of ideas for an article.
Fine, so you are writing but is anyone reading? Promoting your blog will take a lot of time too and creativity. Frankly, its a crowded space with millions and millions of competitors - so what's your plan to attract some readers over to your blog?
Even when readers come the next step is how to keep them coming back? How to grow the number of readers that visit your website each day?
It's tough running a blog especially if you think you want to make money out of it. Money only comes with traffic and traffic is hard to get.
In reality, building traffic is common sense. I know of no magical tricks to attract traffic - none.
So, before you start a blog, think and ponder on these issues, visit other articles on this and other sites and build a strategy before you start.
