    My best piece of advice is that if you want to build a successful blog you need to find a topic that you are passionate about and then be persistent. Passion without persistence is wasted opportunity. To make it blogging you will need to write about our topic nearly every day for years…keep that in mind when you pick your subject.

    Bonus Tip: Write to an audience bigger than you have. If you have 10 readers, write for an audience of 100 . If you have 100 write for an audience of 1,000. Write bigger than you are, and it will keep you moving forward.

    Hope this helps,

    Matt

    My advice: visit http://uspto.gov and make sure the blog title/brand name you choose isn’t already trademarked. If it isn’t, invest the money and trademark it immediately.

    Find a topic that truly fascinates you — something that is the ideal combination of a subject or topic you know a little bit about, but even more strongly — something that you WANT to know EVERYTHING about. You’ll ask the right questions, be inspired to do the research, and will promote and market with a completely natural flair.

    #1 Don’t write a book. It’s a blog post.

    #2 Add some of YOU to each post. Be personal, while teaching. I wrote a post about marketing 24-7 after a truck with a car “wrap” almost ran me off the road.

    I would recommend folks place Clickbank HopAds on their blogs. These free ads resemble Google Adsense ads but the cool thing is you place relevant ads for your blog subject matter and immediately begin receiving commissions (up to 75%) just as you would through a normal Clickbank hoplink.

    I am a bit late to this, and I’m a new blogger, but I see lots of blogs out there doing the right things: posting daily, being interesting, being helpful, doing SEO, using social networking…and yet they still aren’t making money.

    I think there comes a point where if you’re doing all the right things, and you’re still not making money blogging, then DO SOMETHING TO GET PEOPLE TO NOTICE YOU!

    Look at what Ashton Kutcher did on Twitter…he did something way outside of the box to make a point. He’s a celebrity and it’s easier for him, but I still think he’s a good example.

    Be creative and make it something your target audience would enjoy or find shocking in a good way.

    I’m so new, that I haven’t tried this yet. But, once I’m ready, I’ll do something to get my target audience to notice me.

    You might as well give it a go if nothing else is working for you.
