5 Questions You Should Ask Yourself
Blogging is a great hobby to get involved with. However, bloggers usually spend a lot of time and money getting their blogs off the ground (if you advertise). It can take a lot of patience, especially in the beginning. But with a lot of dedication, and more importantly, patience, you can make a go of it.
So before you jump into the blogosphere, ask yourself these 5 questions:
1. Do You A Passion To Succeed?

4. Do You Have Time?

Writing is just a small part of running a blog. You must also do the marketing, SEO, and design of the blog in order to be successful. So time is a very important factor in becoming successful at blogging.
5. Do You Need An Income Right Away?
Many bloggers start out in there journeys to make an income online. Blogging is a great way to do this but it will not happen overnight. If you are trying to get rich quick, then blogging may not be the platform for you.
