What are The Requirements for Blogging .
• Blogs are writing intensive. Most people would rather have root canal than write something
coherent, pithy and provocative every day. It takes talent, skill and training to write down ideas
clearly and make them interesting to read.
• Maintaining a blog is hard work. Searching and writing is a complex and extremely time consuming
task. A blog that isn't kept up to date quickly loses its luster and its audience.
• Blog software is cheap and easily configured. However, you need to have a designer customize
the appearance and navigation of your blog and set up templates to make using it easy for you.
• It takes time, effort, and skillful promotion to build an audience for a blog. Just like a newsletter,
report, Website or e-book, driving traffic to a blog requires marketing.
• You have to register your blog in blog search engines, and use subtle PR to push traffic to your
blog. Blogs are no more of a "build it and they will come" medium than Web sites. Beyond time
and consistently good content, you need to think about sending out press releases and media alerts
about your blog's scoops. (And of course you need to have scoops to do that.)
• A blog that isn't well-written and frequently updated will simply be ignored.
• A blog that is an obvious attempt at self promotion may be mocked by other bloggers. You could
be a laughing stock of the blogosphere.
