Good tips. Crucial points you did not mention are “Keyword research” and “Domain name”.
The keywords selected must have high traffic, not too competitive and relevant to your niche. The domain name you register should preferably have the same keywords in it.
For example if your keywords are Australia Nursing courses, the domain name can be “AustraliaNursing.com”
These are often ignored and bloggers who may have excellent content on their blogs often do not find themselves ranking high on search engines.

Very Good Post.

Loved the entire post, we started our site recently, and I am pleasantly surprised to see that we have managed to implement many of the above mentioned techniques successfully. However, the journey is quite long. Brand Building is a long process.

Anyway, Have a great time!

Regards,
Naimath

Thanks for commenting Joie.

Its ok to start over. It can help you to focus and perform much better because of the feeling of a fresh start. I’m not quite a Pro just yet but I’m getting there

This is a great post. I should have read this one before starting to blog. Well, I can always start another blog. You are really a pro.

Thanks for reading.

It definitely is difficult to create that unique style but the benefits are well worth the work. The more you aim to be unique, the greater the chance for standing out and being noticed. You’d be surprised the amount of bloggers who focus on what others are doing and subconsciously emulate them. Even if the practices are ridiculous.

Thanks for reading Clara. I actually went through that phase but having gained a little experience I was able to finally focus and start seriously blogging.

making a unique style is, in my opinion, the hardest thing a blogger has to do. With thousands of blogs out there, you cannot really compete without having similarities with the others even you don’t intend to be alike.

Thanks for reading Thorn,

Creating your own blogging style can really be challenging, especially developing one that really stands out. I tend to write as how I speak and the results are usually unique. However, developing the winning writing style does take time and lots of experience.

Excellent, I’m a big fan of Frank Rabaska’s ( Spell Check? ) and his authoritive views on authorship. It’s nice to see another website dedicated to Franks message.

This is great but the hardest thing is finding your own unique style of blogging that stands out. Part of branding is distinguishing yourself from everyone else

Thanks for sharing such useful tips

Start using social media sites before launching your website and other sites which tell the value of your websites. It will help you to get your websites indexed by Google quickly and you will also get PR in short time.

Hey Charles, thanks for commenting.

Wow, 2,600 comments! That’s amazing for one post. I checked out your site and the good thing about it is that you are focused on your niche. Your audience seem to know you for your valuable content in real estate. You are in an excellent position to continue building your brand and influence.

Thanks for taking the time to comment Rahman.

Those are good points to add. Quality content is just as important as consistency and focusing on a particular niche. This way, a blog will attract more targeted traffic rather than random visitors who really do not add value.

Hey Jennifer, thanks for your kind words

Brand building is definitely a work in progress task that requires lots of creative thinking and going the extra mile to always produce and guarantee excellent content. Guest posting leverages the audience of other sites’ communities.

i cannot agree more with your idea of creating quality content for the blog. Less posts, but valuable ones can make a huge difference. What I always recommend is to:

1) Write on a regular basis. This will never disappoint the eager readers and subscribers.
2) Write on the same topic. This will keep your readers focused on what you’ve promised to write on.

The result will be you in their minds as a pro who constantly provides quality content.

A personal blog can absolutely stand toe to toe with the big boys. One of our posts is a great example from last year. We blogged about the first time home buyer’s tax credit and the post is still pulling comments. The last count was over 2,600 and still going.

Robyn,

Dude, this is an awesome post! Proof positive that U are “blogging like a pro.”
I think that building a brand is a work-in-progress, at least for most of us. And it takes time.
As for me? I like the results that guest blogging provides, and try to do it as much as time allows.
Good, useful pointers today.
