I totally agree with Brian. Often starting a blog isnt a big deal, but real challenge is to follow up with compelling articles. All the hard work without proper promotion is as good as not starting it in first place.

I agree ABVT, promotion is so important. Like Is aid i my article you cannot have the best content and assume people will find you. You have to be able to reach out to your potential readers or your blog will become a dead place to be.

When I first start blogging I started talking about SEO and marketing but I had such an interest in it at the time I knew I would do well and my blog turned out fine. If the bloggers can do as I stated in this article they have a great chance at success.

Thanks for stopping by and posting a comment mk akan.

And there is one of the hardest parts I believe, promoting your blog. Brian is doing a very good job at that here, by guestposting.

I totally agree, there is nothing wrong with some “fill posts”, but a good blog has quite a substantial part of info that is unique and of high quality.

I suppose I agree with your point that anyone can start a blog about anything, if they so choose. However, in order to be successful one starting a blog in a competitive market is going to have to work their butt off like there’s no tomorrow. Being different from the rest will help one’s efforts tremendously, but it basically comes down to tons upon tons of promotion.

My Guest Post – Blogging in today’s competitive enviroment…

I hear it often and you probably have as well. Don’t start a blog about making money online or blogging about blogging the market is to saturated. I would like to take this statement and burn it if I had the chance….
