What do you want from your blog???

So, have you decided why you want a blog? Do you want to share information? Make money? Have a place where distant relatives can keep track of you? Or you want to Post funny jokes and links?

 

Before you start blogging, you should decide why you're blogging. That will help you decide where to blog (which type of your hosting) and how to give name to your blog. An example is Wordpress.com; no advertising so no money. Also, if you're blogging for relatives, the name doesn't matter but if you plan to monetize, you need a name the is related to your blog topic. You can use a blogspot to make your blog??? You will get a www.yourname.blogspot.com, in blogspot you can monetize your blog because in blogspot you can use a html code to affiliate your product.

 

In addition to name, the reason you blog will also affect things like frequency and topic. Again, if this a personal blog, no big decisions need to be made. Same with a blog designed to just share information; call it whatever, and post whenever, you like.

 

If you want regular traffic though, you need to be on topic and at least somewhat consistent. I consider this blog a tips blog, not a money blog. I try to be consistent for my regular readers, but I don't beat myself up if I'm not. I stay pretty consistently on the topic of blogging and the name of the blog is pretty much dead on for the topic I've chosen.

 

If you want to make money, you must think the topic is a decent one although the blogosphere is pretty crowded for a blogging blogs. You must think the title of the blog is winner. And you must give named it well. Blogger isn't a bad choice for hosts as it has integrated Adsense and you can put any other advertising or banners that you want to do. If would need to do something about your frequency though, You must think hardly.

 

If you want to make money with blogging, you need to build a traffic stream and the stream has to be interested in your blog topic (which is why I don't understand why there are so many spam blogs). To build traffic you need to post daily (at least in the beginning) and you need a lot of content (article).

 

When people show up, you want them to stick around for a while. That means plenty of articles. The faster you generate that content (multiple posts per day), the faster you will build traffic.

 

Right now, the vast majority of the traffic to this blog is from Google. I'm ok with that. My goal is to provide what tips I can give to you. If people are finding me via google, and getting some use out of this blog, then I am succeeding.

 

Why are you blogging? What do you look for in a blog like this??? That's choise any in your hand!!! So, do what you want to do,,, don't wait until tomorrow... Make your choise what you want, are you want to make money? Regular traffic though? Or only make a personal blog???
