Many people start writing just for pleasure like myself and find they really enjoy it. This holds true for blogging too. If you are a blogger and do it to update your friends on your daily rendezvous or things happening in your life and space you do not need any structure or advice as you can use a blog as you please.

If you are serious and want to make a change in your blogging style and also help your bank account grow, I have found some useful tips that will help you along the way.

Write as oft€‹en as possible: Most people are busy, however if you can make time then writing daily is the way forward. If you cannot do that write on certain days and make sure your readers are aware.

Choose a topic that you are knowledgeable about. Do not think that blogging is a one hit wonder. It takes a few years and a lot of blogs to get success. So find a topic that has scope and that you will be able to write for a while.

Pick a topic that has a lot of substance: you can write about yourself and make it interesting or check around to find what has captured the interest of people. Do not choose a subject that has been beaten to death.

Be consistent in your blogs: Consistency is the key, so if you have a following and are unable to blog then keep your followers informed.

Link your blog with similar blogs: You may believe that linking your blog with another bloggers article will make you loose your followers, however there is strength in numbers and the other person may return the favor.
