Great tips, Nicholas. You're so right about keeping in mind your original reason for starting your blog. If you get too caught up in trying to make money you'll get burnt out! .-= Erica Mueller's last blog ..Happy Thanksgiving Y’all =-.

Good tip. But that is something you do more after you’ve started your blog, right Although getting involved in social networks is a good idea even if you don’t have a blog yet.

So how about register accounts on popular social media sites? Leveraging social media sites might be the fastest way to drive traffic to new blog rapidly. But for loyal readers and comments, I believe commenting on other blogs in niche is the best way that no any other tactic can replace. .-= phaoloo's last blog ..3 Essential Tricks To Do With StumbleUpon Toolbar You Might Not Know =-.

Design is very important…can’t stress enough how much it matters to create a sticky blog (good design).

That is so true… But another thing is that everyone have started some day… and most of bloggers do not succeed with their first blog (as most of them blog about anything they only see and get no any niche to bring loyal readers). But they learn a lot… And if they are smart enough they would use this knowledge to start a real successful blog.

That’s exactly right. A lot of people fail to think about the important of that first impression and the anyone who visits their site before the ‘get their act together’ will never return to give them a second chance even though they may have a great site later on. First impressions really are lasting impressions.

Thanks for being a part of the conversation here.

If there's one thing, I didn't do that I should have, it was not starting with a backlog of posts. .-= Gordie Rogers's last blog ..10 Things You Can Learn From Hitler About Success. =-.

Excellent tips for sure.
Too many bloggers jump in with excitement then want to clean up things later, after already giving their “first impression”.

Good stuff Nicholas!
