This is an article dedicated to those who have been unsuccessfully trying to make it big in the vast world of blogging. Myself, like many many others thought it would be simple to go to a free blog site, make up some stupid name ( lets say vodkancheetos), put in a few pithy posts, add AdSense, and BAM! overnight success. I even began telling people what things I would buy them when my blog took off and I became a mega hit. But after hours of writing, and few good ideas, becoming an internet superstar is more than plausible. You just need the right (write) stuff.
First things first. When you think about becoming a blog superstar, your most important accessory is your blog. Now before you go thinking you'll become perez hilton overnight, think what makes perez hilton so damn "readable"? First, hes in your face - so you kinda feel like you've gotta listen to the guy. Hes interesting - blue hair, a foooobbbuulous attitude and celebrity friends just command attention. Also, connections - he really knows how to get his blog out there.
Now, this does NOT necessarily mean you have to dye your hair and exchange digits with LC and Audrina, just come up with something interesting, preferably something you know a LOT about. Once youve come up with something readable, write! Then get your stuff out there. Use sites like blogexplosion and pingoat and send your site out into the web and watch it blossom.
Who knows, you could become the next Perez.
