So lets get rid of the myth’s right now. If you are starting or wanting to start a blog to get rich, become famous, or take over the world…we want to let you know. It most likely isn’t going to happen.  In order to run a successful blog you need to create unique content on something you are good at, for years.

Tips for Beginners

1. Do choose a subject you are knowledgeable about.
2. Don’t choose a subject that you think will make money like banking, credit cards, insurance, or similar unless you are a specialist in that field.
3. Get a real domain. If you are serious don’t use a service like blogger.com or blogspot.com . Pony up the $10 a year for a domain, and the $8 or so dollars a month it cost to get cheap hosting. This will give you much more credibility.
4. Get users to sign up to your newsletter or follow you on twitter.
5. Monetize using a service like buysellads.com or google adsense
6. Write at least 1 article a week, but preferably 1 every week day
7. If you use wordpress as a platform be sure to fill in the tags for maximum search engine traffic.
8. Don’t overuse plugins. Less is usually more.
9. Use plugins like All-In-One SEO, it will rewrite your pages and help boost your seo traffic as well.
10. Don’t give up. It takes time. Don’t expect to be #1 on the search engines over night. It takes some time to get listed in the search engines, and even longer to climb to the top 10.
