Do you really write all these posts yourself?? There is so much detail in them, it’s no wonder that you are doing well. The doshdosh blog has proven to many that content is king and it seems the same applies here. Onward and upward my blogging friend.

I really enjoyed your point on having a plan. It is essential to plan if you want to have a good blog. I seems like people don’t even plan what there blog is going to be about sometimes. I think it is essential to not only have a plan of how to monetize the blog but also a plans for what they you want write about, the theme and look of the blog.

Ben,
Great post… that is exactly why I created QuickPlanner Plus … for the creative individual or small business person who does not think of planning first. “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail” and with QuickPlanner Plus, anyone can create a plan to achieve solid goals. So unltimately, whether one does a blog or some other activity for money or for love, it still is important to PLAN… or else you will find yourself just spinning your wheels. Check out QuickPlanner Plus and see what you think.

Yeah I agree although I haven’t exactly been following that advice so far. Until now I’ve just been blogging out load and hoping for the best and as far as the blog itself has gone, things seem to be ok. But I’ve not made any money yet! It’s the first of the month today so I’m going to take a good look at my stats and set some clear goals for November.

Treat your blog like a child. Love it no matter what, take care of it no matter what, and make sure it plays well with others no matter what.

You should only treat your blog as a business if you want to make money from it. And even then, it’s not necessary.

Great article! One area I had to start treating blogging as a business was to ask myself the following questions BEFORE I begin to write. “Is there a market for what I am writing?” What is the Supply/Demand for the content I am about to produce. If there are 50,000 searches for my topic and several million pages matching it then “no, it’s saturated”. Finding those Niches is important…

Great tips. And I agreed, making money is more fun than just hobbying.
