Anybody Have Good Tips For A Newly Started Blogger?

I've just started maybe a week or so ago, and I've got only 4 posts up. I'm doing a basketball blog, and if anyone at all would have tips for a new blogger, I'd appreciate them.

These tips could be about anything. Posting, SEO, Adsense, blog desing, whatever it is, I need some help to become a blogger who knows what he's doing.

If you want to check out my blog to see how I'm doing, it's www.jmnbasource.com

Your site looks good. Be original and always write your own content. You should use the ebay plugin it will help you make more money. Looks good so far

  Thanks for the tip!
  
  When you say ebay plugin, do you mean like, ebay affiliate banners? Or are you saying there's an actual wordpress plugin that will input ebay ads?

  Haha, it'd be nice if i actually had readers commenting on my blog.
  Yeah, throughout my blogging journey, I've learned that I should always try to get visitors to come back.
  
  Thanks for your tip!

1. Start with your own domain (Checked!)
2. Create a simple and bright looking design (Checked!)
3. Start writing quality articles
4. Create a niche
5. Build some links
6. Put some adsense but don't check your account regularly
7. Add images with posts
8. Read lods of blogging blogs (read my blog too, blogkori.com)
9. Ask yourself, why you are blogging?
10. Make friends online and share ideas

I think that's enough for a beginner, you an ask for help if you want to know something specific

Make sure you integrate a bit of your own personality into your posts.

It will help set your blog aside from other blogs on the same subject matter, because of your unique personality/perspective.

This is new, but I might as well share it with you, Anyway, I just got this from www.videosalesleads.com and it's something called "video marketing". This is specially perfect for new blogs or sits cause it gets your site noticed by google the fastest way possible, and that would include getting more targeted traffic.

It's like this, you just have to make a video about your blog and publish it. Not that hard right?
