I see many blogs that have just been started. I know when they first began because the blogger begins them with something that says, "Hello, this is my first blog post." If you are going to start a blog, please do not do this.
The best way to start a blog is to jump right in like you have been posting for months. Write about an issue or idea that is relevant to what your blog will be about. If someone finds your blog you want them to feel like you already know what you are doing, and not like they are your very first reader.
For this reason I believe it is better to plan your blog before you start writing it online. Make a list of topics that you hope to cover and make an outline of how you will be presenting these ideas on your blog. Make notes on at least your first ten blog posts before you make your first post.
Under your title for your blog you may want to include information about yourself, your business, and your reason for creating your blog. Then start in with your first post and release it to the world.
After you have written four or five posts it will be a good idea to comment on other blogs that are related in some way to the material and information that you are writing about on your blog. Also, refer to other blogs in your posts and trackback to their posts as you write about them. In this way you are helping to create a relationship with other bloggers so that you will be accepted and welcomed into the blogging community.
By planning ahead your blog will make sense and will flow naturally into the blogosphere. In a very short time you will find that you have regular readers and a following. You want people to look forward to reading your posts and to feel like they are learning something from you.
