good post. just don’t agree with one thing. about advertising. there is no harm to publish add right from the beginning. readers will be used to it. what if after generating good amount of traffic promoting add can annoy readers.
atleast it didn’t happen to me. i got decent amount of bucks right from the beginning.
Very good points. But like the first commenter, the same is true with advertising. Of course I agree with you that not all empty spaces must contain ads. But for me, I use it to balance my blog. Sincce all the left sidebar are all about my blog such as recent post, latest comments, top commenters, etc, all the right side bar is for advertisers. The length of ads actually follow the length of those displayed on the left.
Is this a bad thing since I am new in blogging compared to you?
The only problem with advertising right from the beginning is you may have more ads than posts on your blog. For many visitors this may prevent them from returning as they may so more of the ads than the posts.
A better idea may be to plan for the ads, and then display them when you get more visitors.
Then again, to each their own. It’s your blog so you can do whatever you like with it.
Some very good tips. I enjoy reading your blog.
I agree with a lot of your points and it is so good to see a blog like yours developing and growing over time.
I also like your idea of having a “future resolutions” list as it allows you to set goals, make you aware of what you need to improve on and create a plan so you may reach your objectives.
All the best and may you continue to succeed with this blog
We are just started out. It’s been only a week. Reading your story is valuable and will guide us in managing our blog.

That’s a really good one technically easy. Your one year later traffic stats are tremendous. Way to go.
@Hustlehard: Thanks. My traffic has increased since this post, but I have now reached a plateau. I know how to fix it, but it’ll take a little work.
Agree with all your points. But a major bottleneck for me is writing good content. How much time do you spend writing each day? And how many articles published in a week? Thanks
I struggle at writing content at times as well. I usually post two times per week, when time permits, and I spend about an hour on each post, including proofreading.
