As usual Toni, you make a good point.

One thing I would add, is that it’s also possible to wait too long, for everything to be right. Some of the lessons of blogging you only learn once you begin.

You’re spot on about getting the basics in place and working from a strategy.

Glad you find the blog useful Nicky.

The character limit on Twitter is great for many things, but not so good for others.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the comment Justin. It’s often hard to find the time to blog, especially in the early months. Many people start off with a lot of blogging activity, then slow down after seeing little by way of results.

Blogging is, in my experience, something that takes time to develop as an effective marketing tool. Once the blog becomes established and the enquiries start coming in, it’s easier for us to justify the time to allocate to it.

Thanks for the feedback!

I couldn’t agree more Mr. Connolly. Sure, it’s easy to put up any blog, but to put up a successful blog, that’s totally different story regardless of what anyone tries to say. The key elements that you discussed are so very important & the main reason my blog hasn’t gone live yet. All of those elements take time with alot of patience, meticulous research, something compelling enough to write about, inspiring enough to share, motivational, & last but not least an effective marketing strategy for your blog. Missing just one of those elements is crucial & puts your blog at high risk of going down nowhere street. It’s sad to say but, it’s the cold hard truth, you know:)

Hi Jim,

Yet again another cracking blog post from you, as always.

How interesting to read that you find the people that follow, comment and share your blogs to be “gold dust”.

I would just like to let you know, in more than a 140char limit on twitter, for the record, that YOUR blog is one of the blogs that I most enjoy reading, following and supporting with my comments.

I equally enjoyed tweeting with you.

I must be just 9-carat gold dust!

Great tips, we have just started out blogging, financially its not a problem because we have a website and wordpress is so easy to setup. Its finding the time that we’ve found most difficult, we just haven’t got ourselves into a routine yet which I think will really help us.

Hey Jim,

Great blog and well summed up.

It is also nice to see someone creating some useful and original content on online blogging and marketing. Often I find most material is either from a self proclaimed expert just looking to improve SEO or plagerized. I actually feel like I’ve learned something from this blog, so I’ll definitely be back for more advice!
