The worst part is getting stuck where you might ask yourself that you have spent so much of quality time on your blog but still nothing seems to be happening. Well you can't blame the blogging profession for this. If you think you have been failing in blogging till now or you are new to blogging and don't want to face these situations then it's better to research and get to know about blogging. I know this can be a bit of time consuming but trust me with all that knowledge with you before starting a blog, you can do wonders.
Top 10 things to know before starting blogging:
1. Know your niche: Make sure before starting your blog you know what you will be writing for. Don't just write for anything or any topic that you find on internet.

Give your blog it's own identity by making it something special.
2. Who you are writing for?: Make sure you know your audience you are writing for. Keep in mind before writing that what kind of people would be interesting in reading your articles. Also design your blog in the way that it suites your audience and they don't fell awkward while following your blog.

There are so many tools an widgets to improve your blog and increase the visibility of your blog in search engines. Don't be afraid of trying new features for your blog. New features are only developed to make the life easier for bloggers, so, try to step forward and try those new features.
9. Always be yourself: When you are writing for your blog try to be your self instead of impersonating someone Else's personality in your blog.

Don't think of blog as only a source of news but take is as a medium of communication with the readers of your blog. Build a relation with your readers of your blog with your personality and putting that personality in your writing.
10. Asking for Help: Blogging is a very vast ocean of knowledge, even when you know a lot there is so much more to learn as new things keep coming up every day. Even the experienced of bloggers cannot run the whole blogging system on their own they have to be a part of the blogging community and the social media community. Don't be afraid or shy of asking for help from other bloggers of the community and vice versa. Success in blogging relies on networking.
