Blogging is a surging trend in our society today and it is already becoming a household name. Far from it's image during it's early years. Nowadays, Blogging is already a part of most people's lives. Some people blog for money while some blog only for fun. No matter what your reason is for blogging, it is a great asset that you know some of the it's fundamentals. 

• Before you start blogging, you should first choose a niche for your blog. Having chosen a niche will help you focus in your writing. Some blog authors though write about different niches on their blog. Writing about different topics will give you a broader field to choose from. 


• Blog about your interests. If you are going to blog about something which you are not interested in then you are likely bound to fail. You may end up writing quantity contents but with little or no quality. This will result with poor audience statistics which will definitely hurt your overall site statistics.


• Prepare your blog structure. Blog structure is one element of blogging which will determine if you will succeed or fail. Your blog structure has a large impact on your readers aside from your content so make sure that you pay attention it. I made an article about blog structure so feel free to check it out. Building Your Blog Structure 


• Focus on quality and not on quantity. The main problem of new bloggers is that they focus too much on the quantity of posts on their blog and they often neglect the quality of those posts. They think that having high number of content will also increase their chance on getting accepted on Google Adsense. You should remember that your readers are the life and blood of your blog so you need to make sure that they always return to your site by providing them with quality contents. If your posts has little or no quality then expect those readers to not give even a second glimpse on your blog.


• Use the power of social networking. When you are just starting out then you might have experienced that your blog is getting few page hits per day. This is normal. What you should do is to advertise your blog to your friends. If your friends like your blog, then they may even recommend it to your friends. You can also try advertising your blog address to the forums wherein you are member. Social networking is free so use it wisely!


• Adding pictures in every post is a great way to make your post more eye catching to your readers. Pictures can make those bland looking posts into something sleek and creative. 


• Continue on writing great articles even when you are already garnering huge hits for your blog. Readers are always craving for new contents so you need to make sure that you supply them with those much needed articles or posts to keep your blog alive.


• Blogging requires you to study constantly about up and coming ways to improve your blog. It is an art that will require your absolute effort in order for it to be mastered. There are many terms in blogging and some of it is really confusing. I suggest that you study one subject at a time. Constant practice is everything.

I have just provided you some fundamental things that starting bloggers should know. I may update this list or I may not. Nevertheless, I'll keep on writing posts so stay tuned for more.
