Blogging

I’ve noticed a trend — people become interested in blogging, and instead of just starting, they go crazy with blogging research and online business building techniques. From there they start a blog about blogging.

The intentions are good, and it’s a potentially lucrative niche, but these type of blogs usually fail. I recommend first building a successful blog in another niche and then at some point in the future taking what you’ve learned about building a successful blog or online business and teach others. This is exactly what Abby and I did.

Abby had been blogging for a year and half and had grown a successful blog with hundreds of thousands of page views every month before she started teaching others how to do the same. There was some instant credibility because she had done it before.

If you try to teach others about blogging without that same credibility, you are facing a massive uphill battle. It will be easier, more enjoyable, more profitable, and better for your readers if you create a blog about an unrelated topic first, and then teach others how to do the same based on your experiences. This is a tried and true formula. Now here's video I like about blogging!
