Great article. I am amazed to see how few articles provide meaningful, solid advice on developing a checklist for blogging.

I think the focus must be more on content and less on money. The one thing I suggest you add is authenticity and generosity. As a salesman, I never ask for an order until I have given the potential customer something of value. Usually it is information. And that’s what the web is all about.

Your site is authentic. Your content is yours.

Many thanks for posting such good advice.

Hey Carl

I discovered this article from Dean’s site and I must say this checklist is really good and of course, my favorite has got to be #15. I’ll take note of it when my blog fails but I don’t see it happening anytime soon….:lol:

Is there any money making opportunities for a blogger whose interest revolves around politics?

I love the last part about “when your blog dies read carlocab”. Nice one ;0

Thanks for these tips by the way. I choose the television niche because I love watching TV shows. Hopefully I will make money in the future.

Thanks for posting this very cool and informative article about blogging! Now, I’ve realized that it’s very important to have a niche… you know, i have a blog but it doesn’t have a niche. i am talking about anything under the sun and now, my blog looks like a personal web-diary, how cool is that?

I must have a niche now and it should be all about survivor insights.

You mentioned something about socializing with other bloggers, but omitted the “Marketing Part” , most of the bloggers prefer not to say a word about their advertising strategies and how much money is spent on Adwords , Bitvertiser and such contextual advetising.

Some great basic information on how to start a blog!
