Andrew is a website builder and helps small businesses with their on-line presence…so they can grow their customer list and increase sales. That’s it! That’s what we do each and every day.
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
Umair
You can start blogging while still working full-time. I did for 3 years!
Then I was making enough money to leave the corporate world.
Andrew
I can’t wait for this series to start. Actually I can’t wait for the “How to get Backlinks” post. Hopefully I can learn something new from it.
Katie
I hope you do too!
Andrew
Hey Andrew,
This should be a nice series, I suppose. I’ll be following along.
Cris,
I hope you do join me for the journey.
All any feedback along the way would be great.
Andrew
Great series Andrew. Even blggers that have been doing this a while can always use a refresher course.
thank and looking forward to it.
Blessing to you,
Debbie
Very true, Debbie.
If you get just one thing from it…it will be worth it!
Andrew
This is surely a wonderful series. I confess that after spending 3 years in blogging, I still need to perfect some aspects. Will look out for it
Tushar

We never stop learning!

Looks good, you’re building out something which is complementary to what I’ve been doing. I’ll be following along as you build it out.
Dave
I hope you like it. First post in the series published!
Andrew
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.
Levi
It’s actually quite difficult to say which one is the most important. They are all important.
Bit like saying which one is the most important in a successful football team:
The coach?
The team?
The pitch manager?
The nutritionist?
All very important.
Andrew
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.
Gary
What you love to write about is only part of picking a niche.
If you want to make some income…the niche you love to write about may not sell on-line.
Then that niche would be a waste of time…no matter how much you love it.
Andrew
Andrew,
This series looks great. I’m looking forward to following along.

Hi Andrew, I guess I should call this the secret ingredient to build a healthy and successful blog.

I do hope it is a refresher type series for many bloggers. There should be something for everyone!
Andrew
well well that awesome information buddy keep going on posting like this posts i like to follow you.
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.
True Justin.
Content is getting harder and harder to create.
I’ve often said ‘good enough’ is no longer good enough!
Andrew
Wow Andrew I can not believe that you are giving this all away in your post. Going to be a nice refresh course for me.
Nobody should miss this. It is a great opportunity for learning.
Blessing to you,
Debbie
Hi Andrew,
Awesome you you shared with us, Overall post is excellent and very well explained. Good domain name and hosting is 1st step, then you blog design is most important part that your readers impressed and like your blog design. Cotent is another major part of site we all know that without unique and fresh content we are nothing. Write unique intresting content with your targeted keywords. Monetize your blog with Adsense or Affiliates is great way to earn some extra cash from your blog.
