Blogging is easy. Creating an extraordinarily good blog is not. Finding your niche, aiming for quality in everything that you say or do, creating original content: those are all things worth remembering if you really want to take your blog to the next level. It takes hard work, it takes integrity, and it takes a lot of guts. Especially if you want to make a blog your source of income, in which case you need a good business angle. And what would a blog be without a loyal following? It’s all about your readers: how to intrigue them, get them commenting, get them to come back. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a successful blog. But it’s doable, and it’s enjoyable.
