If you have an idea, do it, don't prevaricate, just do it or you will never put your foot on the ladder.

And here's why: When you start a new blog you have zero followers lol - it's only fun when you have thousands of people actually reading (like you). With my blog, I'd have MAYBE 10-20 readers, which sucks and doesn't motivate me to blog much at all lol Sincerely, Jay Jalodomisa Hey Neil,

I think our Content is great. Is there any glaring deficiencies we are missing ? I think we follow most if not all your advice.

There's almost too many to read! I myself have too many blogs to count and just don't have enough time to be updating them all and getting fresh content. I really like your idea of a 3 part series. I need something to get those users coming back for more! Not just coming, reading a good article and then leaving. I want to try and build up those return visits and try and make at least one of my blogs very profitable and interesting! Thanks again for the greatly informative post ;) Hey some great points in here! There’s almost too many to read!

I'm looking for a creative outlet this winter, and my friend and I have decided to actually start a blog, which is an idea we've been tossing around for a while. The problem is, we have no idea where to start. This helps a lot and makes me feel a bit less nervous about getting readers/acceptance - I guess it is more about a fresh perspective and personality than I thought. :) Thanks for posting this, Neil.

I have a couple of blogs that I write to most days. Not every day because some days – there’s nothing to say and writing for the sake of just writing – doesn’t read well! The thing I always try to remember when writing to my blog is that the readers read it because they either like it or because they’ve found a particular post in the SEs when searching for information. Whatever the reason, the more people I have who bookmark it and return to it are more people who will (hopefully) one day take a course of action I want them to take – whether that be to buy something, subscribe for something or whatever! By creating that ‘relationship’ with the reader through fresh, well written and entertaining content – you create a marketing tool that can be incredibly powerful. Train them to return frequently through fresh posts and you will be doing yourself untold favours! Consistency of new content, quality content, really is the key to a good blog.
