Hi, How are you? The first thing I would do is come up with a topic you want to discuss, secondly start writing ( get at least 10 great articles with about 500 words in each article), third, once you have some great content start marketing your blog (who do you want to know about your website). Marketing your blog is all about getting visitors to your blog. This may involve marketing on mylot or other forums. You should also market your blog on social networking sites like FB, Twitter, or youtube. Something, else to remember is you need to manage your time. I always write a plan out for the week, therefore I know what I need to get accomplish as far as marketing my blog. If you set goals for the week and you complete them all before the week is over, than do some overtime and write more blogs, socialize some more, or make more responses to others who have commented on your blog. When you market your blog don't say things like "I have a new blog, please visit me here." It makes you sound cheesy and most people won't visit you. Your audience wants to be entertained, so make sure the comments you post on other blogs or website is related to the content written there and that you leave a comment that may be productive for the writer and the readers. Best Wishes~
