I am a power blogger. I blog daily, many times a day, and I’m totally addicted to it. I love the comments, the feedback, and of course, I kind of like the money I’m able to make from a few of my blogs too. Blogging is the way to go today if you want to communicate. Blogs work better than email lists for relaying information, and they are also fun, entertaining, and a great way to get to know other people or study human behavior. For a writer, they’re also great fodder for writing!

I have been asked several time how to have a successful blog. My methods are tried and true, tested and retested, and I have discovered what does and does not work for a blog to be successful. Whether you write a blog for fun or for business, you probably want people to come and read your blog, right? For some, blogging is just a hobby; for others, it is a profession.

Either way, let’s start with some good advice for blogging that works for everyone, no matter what type of blog you are going to have, business or personal.



Takeaways
  • Read your blogs the same way you would read someone elses.
  • Would YOU read your own blog?
  • Make your blog attractive to readers because that's the first thing they see, not your content.

You give some wonderful tips here Michelle. I've been a blogger since 2000 but panic whenever I receive too much attention. As it stands now, I try to keep things pretty private, which is weird for a blogger. However, I find that the blogs I end up bookmarking are the ones that stand out from the others. I enjoy viewing photos and shorter posts. I also like blogs that show nicely, lacking clutter. :-)

Hi, Michelle. I always look forward to your advice. If it keeps up, though, you're going to have to send me a bill. :) I'll be watching for Part II. Thanks!
