Starting a new blog is an adventure for everyone who did it. You never really know what will happen next, how much traffic you will have tomorrow, or any number of things. But seasoned blogger knows a thing or two about what they should do in the beginning. Take their advice.

 

1. The charge is based on the passion

Before you even start a blog, think about what you're interested. What do you love to do? What do you like to talk about? No matter if it's cool or trendy or whatever. Think only about what you like and what you're interested. Then use those things to determine what you can realistically blog about and what should be your niche market.Having a blog that means lots and lots of content publishing. Like, a lot of content. In fact, it's pretty much all the blog is about. If you are not passionate about your blog niche, you will have trouble down the road when you run out of ideas that will start to write about. You will struggle to find a topic and when you find a topic to write about your writing will reflect that you really do not care about what you're talking about.However, if you really like what your blog is about, you really will not have any problem with finding things to discuss on your page. It will come naturally. Your writing will reflect that you are passionate about a topic, and you will get more readers and loyal followers of the blog. Again, it does not matter if you think someone else into what you like or not. You will be surprised at how many people actually share your love for ... well, whatever you like!2. Take time to connect with people

The best way to start building a blog that follows and get traffic is to build relationships with other bloggers. Do not see them so much as your competitors, see them as a potential friend. Internet is more than big enough for all the blogs about the "x" topics out there, and bloggers each have their own unique take on a topic they're about blogging.Say you have a cooking blog. There are thousands of blogs out there cooking. Maybe even hundreds of thousands. But none of the bloggers who have a unique sound, or if you have them. You may have to develop your own recipes or your own special twists to an old standby recipes, and this is what will bring people to your blog. You can make your blog cooking as small or as large as you want, and in the end, there is plenty of room out there for everyone with a cooking blog.So do not see people with similar blog as your competitors and strive to become bigger or better than them-on the contrary, try blogging for their guests. Invite them to guest blog for you. Share links, tips and suggestions. Develop relationships with these people, because they are real people like you. This is what will grow your blog. Your blog does not grow if you sit alone and insist on bigger and better than anyone else out there. It's just not a healthy attitude to have when blogging, and it will make your blog completely stagnant.

3. get the content out there, then design blog

So very many newbie bloggers focus hard on their blog design at the beginning, before they ever get any content out there. This is the opposite of the approach you should take. Of course, you want to see right before you start doing a blog post, but the truth of the matter is, you can rarely-if ever-get your blog looks exactly as you want at the beginning. You have much more to learn about web design, and some of the things you want may cost you money that you do not have anymore.In the beginning, it is better to choose a blog template that you like pretty good and starting to put the content out there, and then focus on tweaking the look of your blog as you continue to post consistently. Design your blog can be a large block that is too long to go through, and you've lost three months or more content and design of the building while you perfect your traffic.You can design tweaking here and there with the post, so you will let the search engine know you're alive and publishing content now-now-while you do other things. It takes time to establish yourself and start building traffic, and when you start to get a decent blog below, you may very well have the design you want. However, if you wait to start publishing content until then, it will take more time to build your following.
