So you want to start a blog? Who doesn’t. Millions of people and businesses are now blogging. Technocrati is a search engine for blogs that is tracking over 50 million blogs in the blogoshere today and those numbers I just guessed at. I don’t even know if that is even close.

Quickly there are three key elements that you need to think about before ever starting a blog and here they are:

Key #1. Find your niche. It’s OK, if you don’t have a niche at first. Especially if you plan on having a personal dairy blog. However, if you are planning on blogging for dollars then you really need to figure out what niche you are going to create content for.  Then ask yourself this question: “Am I prepared to spend the next three or six months creating content, managing and marketing my blog for free? Three to six months is the normal time period for most blogs before  they start having enough traffic and earnings. Let me make a correction, you will never have enough traffic to your site.

2. Which blogging platform do you prefer? I prefer wordpress blogs over blog spot.com. Word press gives me more freedom than blog spot. Plugins galore and a whole lot more. Word press is actually an open source program unlike blog spot or some of the other blogging programs out there. I have only used word press and blog spot so , I can’t ethically make any judgements for type pad or any of the others. My recommendation is on word press.

3. Creating content. this means you will have to either write a lot like I do, use audio such as an audio blog (which I am going to do) or video which is  extremely popular and will probably kick up your search engine ranking a little bit higher than just plain written content. For this reason alone,  you want to choose a niche or sub niche that you will feel comfortable creating a lot of content for. You should post new content at least three times a week and at a set time. With a word press blog you can set your content to publish automatically at a given date and time. I set this blog to publish at 5Am in the morning thee times a week.
