A must read post for the beginners!.

Regarding the blog platforms,I think Blogger is a good option too..!.The new widget based layouts are cool….bloggers can do some experimentation with both wordpress and blogger and finally decide upon a blogging platform.

Writing linkbaits right from the first should be difficult!.So,bloggers should try to be consistent with their content and try some other promotion techniques!.

My last blog post is..Google logo celebrating First ascent of Mount Everest.

Wordpress - Yeah

Nice Theme - Yeah

Link Bait - Fail.

I have failed to get links in this way. Tried to read all tips on it, still failed.

Mike - this is great advice. To blog successfully about something you know nothing about would take a lot of interest and research.

I too get tired of all the make money online sites. Sometimes, their owners will come over to my business blog and criticize something I’ve written. Then I’ll go and check them out and their blog header will be something like Millionaire Entrepreneur.

They’re peddling get rich products in every post and their site is covered in Adsense and I just thing - Entrepreneur my ass.

Show me a crappy teen blogger and I’ll show you ten crappy adult ones
Sure there are those that can’t blog for sh!t… but that’s the same for quite a few people no matter what their age.

@C-Squared:
I don’t care if the poster is 13 or 33, if they put out quality content it is hard to challenge them on what they know because of their age. While there may be some junk “make money online” blogs out there put together by “kids” you may be surprised at some of the quality content that is being put together by younger bloggers.
Great post Jason!

@Randy - Thanks for giving my blog a chance
@Hustle - Thanks!

@Dream Girls - Well, time does matter and it also doesn’t. The longer time it takes, the more you learn.

@Nate - No problem!

@C-Squared - I actually think it’s the parents that push the kids to start “making money”. It’s because the parents are on the computer 24/7, while the child has nothing else to do.

@Global - Thank Jason for the wonderful post
@ut-man - You’re welcome!

@Caroline - I respect your opinion on this.

It seems like good advice to only blog about what you know but I think its a broad generalisation that you can’t blog about something you know nothing about. When I started my blog I knew nothing about making money online but I persevered even though it is a highly competitive niche. The approach I took was that I openly stated that I would learn as I go and blog about my experiences. That’s exactly what I have done and it’s taken off quite nicely in the last few months. If I took your advice I might still be in my day job!
