10 Tips for New Bloggers

Last week I blogged about terms that bloggers should know. Now I'll touch on tips for building a successful blog.

Find a niche and stick to it. Most successful blogs focus on a single topic. Some rely on the blogger's unique voice and charismatic personality to unify otherwise unrelated posts, but this is hard to do.

Thanks for these very useful ideas. I've been doing a reading about how to start blogging. I like this list of tips because they are all instantly "actionable".

Great list. I have been bogging for a little over a year but am just now really hitting my stride. This list would have helped me to overcome some of the hurdles in the beginning and will continue to be a good reference. Nice.

I am pretty new to blogging myself, and found your post extremely helpful. I work as a recruiter in Boston for Hollister Staffing (www.hollisterstaff.com) and blogging has gotten onto my radar more and more recently. I am starting to realize how great of a tool it is to find advice, network, and also to see what other people are saying about something that interests you. I have recently started recommending to my clients that they start blogging, and I cant wait to show them this post, I think it will be really helpful!

Blake Sunshine

In fact, 82 percent of Millennials think they will be married for life, which is you look at today’s divorce rate is clearly idealistic. But Millennials always have been idealistic, and for Millennials caution in starting a family does not equal disinterest. Millennials definitely want to start families, just on their own time.

Fallen Off the Career/Job Search Wagon?

Jenn Pedde

There are something like 15 million people out there right now without jobs. I believe the average length of the job searcher is 7 months unemployed. Luckily things are turning around, and jobs are being created, but it has led me to be thinking about this 7 months marker.

Life. Is. A. Secret. Game.

Shane Mac

I sit. Thinking. Smiling. Reflecting. Wondering… About all of the people, the moments, the times that have changed my life. How did my path lead to where I am? Why do I feel so fortunate for everything that I have? Why am I typing and smiling so cheesy that the coffee shop barista...

5 Ways to Not Be a Complete SAP on Social Media

Kyle Lacy

Where do you draw the line as a person and as a brand? I think the issue I am having with so much irrelevant content is that… it is not new… it is not fun… if I wanted an ego boost I would turn on Joel Osteen or Tony Robbins. And most of all… it is not real.

Scott Shrum

The answer, as is the answer for most things in life, is "It depends."

Keeping Your Personal Brand Fresh

Jason Mollica

When I embarked on my blog journey last December, I thought of it as just an extension of who I was, professionally and personally. I also looked at the blog as a way of being creative. It’s become more than that to me and those of you that read this. My blog is now part of my personal brand.
