So I've been reading a lot about creating a "successful blog", and one of the things that seems important to attracting readers to your site is writing "How-To" blogs.
Unfortunately, I possess no expertise or authority on the subject, so I was considering starting with a piece such as "5 Most Important Things I've Learned as a New Writer". I would talk about things such as word economy, adverb usage, passive voice, etc. - all the things I have actually learned.
Now just to be clear, I am not looking to make money with this blog or have millions of views. I would just like to write something which other new writers might find helpful, and also attract readers to my site who share my interests and who might not otherwise view it.
My concern is that it's going to come off amateur-ish and probably look like a recycled version of something you could find on another 1,000 websites. But I also think it would be good practice for me.
Any thoughts from other writers on what they have found successful on their blogs? Tips, Tricks & Trade Secrets?
Or should I just continue to work on my writing before trying to give other people advice on how to do it?
Thanks,
Dan
