Hi. Some tips to share. 1. Select less competed niche (~ topic, category etc.) for your blog. Don't write about celebs or similar, because there is already tons of blogs about most popular subjects. 2. Create free blog with blogger or similar. Wordpress and blogger (blogspot) are best free blogging platforms. 3. Read ProBlogger and similar blogs for understanding all potential you can have with your blogging. 4. Choose a 3-column template for your blogger blog. Why 3-column? Because it makes your blog to look more professional than 2-column templates blogspot iso offering. 5. Start writing, try to maintain high quality with your writing. Study top blogs how they do it. 6. Advertise your blog and get traffic for your blog, example with Entrecard promotion service. Remember to offer RSS subscription for your visitors. Network to other bloggers and your readers with mybloglog, twitter and other social media tools. 7. When you reach for +100 daily visitors, start selling ad space for your blog. You can try to sell 5-6 ad slot for 10-15 $ each. Look how much other blogs ask for ad spaces. 8. Repeat 5-7 ... 9. Start using adsense and affiliate advertising programs when your blog reaches +500 daily visitors. Don't be hasty with advertising, be patient and try to get steady traffic for your blog. Fine tune there advices and share them in your blog for others. Be helpful, it allways pays back. Any comments? :)

Great advice and very helpful. Well written and laid out as well. I really enjoyed your post and plan to put it into action after the first of the year, when I start my new blog. Thanks again.

Brilliant advice, to think that people pay money for an e-book "blogging to the bank" when they can get a better summary of the whole thing right here.
