    It is becoming very obvious to take blogging as a full time or else you should leave it. Is their a way for those who can not just leave their job and sudden but still want to share their ideas with the world. I think their should be a a blogging guide for those who want to do blogging as a hobby but their blog should not die a lone just because of less promotion

  8. Actually keyword research would be the most important thing after picking out your niche. HostGator would be fine for hosting.

    The term blogging is for writing quality content and be able to share it to the public and somehow a way to make your presence online. Making money would be easier if you already have your brand.

    This may sound cliche but in my experience the best way to choose your niche by selecting the topic that you love to write about. Nowadays, high quality content is necessary not only in user’s perspective but also for search engines. If you’re passionate about the topic you’re writing about, then surely you can come up with an article that would bring valuable information to your readers and an article that will stand out from the rest.

  10. Andrew,

    This series looks great. I’m looking forward to following along.

  15. Andrew,
    I can’t stress enough the importance of quality content. We all have read posts that have rather vague and generalized content that is not actionable or at least inspiring to the reader.
