I agree and one more word will be appreciate good work sincerely.

That's a great list of tips, and I endorse them.As a retired journalist, I started my three blogs -- on food, on changes at the newspaper I once worked for and on all-electric cars -- to keep writing.Now, I've carved out a niche by reporting on food shopping at stores in northern New Jersey, where I live, and heart-healthy cooking at home.

Agree with all the above tips.And here are some additions with my experiance.1.Select a topic which you really love.So,you will write naturally and always you are saturated with lot of blog post ideas.2.Although it is blogging and a hobby,consider it seriously.Write your blog posts with more care.After all you are building your online personality.3.Write for your readers.Not for search engines.SEO and other technical stuffs are important,but returning visitors are more important.(as per my view)4.Build your community.Make followers and connect with fellow bloggers.There are lot more to learn from fellow bloggers.5.Always reply to important comments.Well,it is obvious we dont have time to reply to all comments.However,if a reader asks some question or proposed something related to a blog post,be mindfull to reply it.That will build up your relationships with readers and a way for a succesful blog.And finally,(bonus tip 😀 )If you are a Food blogger,don't share a recipe which you or your family members didnt like.Try that recipe again and share only if it is a success.. 😀😜lease share your ideas on these tips which I shared too.I also like to read more tips with your experiances.
