Did you Prepare Yourself When You First Started Blogging?
Many people in today’s internet world are blogging. It has been an massive increase in popularity over the last couple years and the phenomenon is still growing. That is great! The more blogs, the more information we get and the more discussion we ignite.
With 70.000 new blogs a day (Technocrati told us) many of those will stop in the first month. What are the reasons for that? Are those start-up bloggers prepared for the journey they are going to make? Of course, for the bloggers like myself, who were already in the webdesign field in some way, it is not a real problem. We know how the internet works.
But bloggers who choose pets or basketball as their niche might not know anything about blogging or webdesign in general. They don’t know how the internet works and they might not have the technical skills and the know-how to start a successful. All they want to do is blog.
I was thinking about that little problem lately and I have started to write a extensive how-to blog article, just for the startup bloggers out there. If the startups read that article, the chances to succeed should go up and we get more and more normal, prepared blogs out there. Blogs that stay active and stay bringing out that quality content we are all after. That is my goal.

Can’t wait for the blogger start-up article? Subscribe to the blog! Want to add your own thoughts to this article? Let me know!
I feel that users target on revenue through adsense and other methods but the reason is they fail to maintain even that properly with regular updates.
Yes ofcourse. People shouldn’t focus on revenue. They should focus on content and after they have success, then revenue comes and they should do advertising. People start blogging with the wrong intentions! Thanks for your comment
I was into web design for a long time before I got into blog and before I even launched my first blog I took time to read around a lot of blogging, mmo, and internet marketing blog.
I think most people give up because they don’t know it can take several months for a blog on a new domain to get traffic. I always suggest writing every day like you have 1000 people depending on your blog. Eventually people will show and you’ll have great content.
The only positive about all the failed bloggers is less competition =P
I definitely didn’t thank god for wordpress and all its developers.
The secret to successful blogging is content. With beautiful blogs come beautiful revenues.
