What makes the perfect blog?  I’ve been wondering that myself and as a result I have been jumping from blogger site to blogger site reading the different postings and trying to decide what makes them so great?  Why do hundreds and thousands of people log on to their sites, read and comment about their blogs, while I have not generated a pool of even 10 committed daily interested visitors?

Obviously, I realized early on that in order to be dubbed a “blogger” you need to post several blogs throughout the DAY!!  Now, that in itself is quite a task, and at this point, quite difficult.  But let’s start slow.  How can I write topics that are within my “niche” and still generate enough traffic and interest to my blogs?  It’s has proven to be quite difficult.

When I first started blogging, my postings were formal, boring and did not relate to the reader AT ALL.  I think since then I’ve improved, although I still get comments about how formal my blogs are.  I’m trying to target small (like myself) to mid size business owners, yet I haven’t developed that pool of interest.  So I set out on a quest to find out how to become an expert, popular blogger.

An article I recently read: 21 SurefireTips for a Successful Blog was quite eye-opening.  I realized that before beginning to blog I had to take necessary precautions and steps to ensure I will get people hooked.  According to the article I started out okay, but was missing some really important key items that would pull in visitors.  But then, I got busy and stopped blogging, which incidentally impacted my chances of establishing a strong reader base (any readers I did have at that point surely were turned off because of the lack of postings).  I guess you live and learn!  Read the article and let me know what you think.
