<p>Different bloggers have different goals for their blogs. Some want to earn money, some want to become popular and some just want to share pictures and stories of their kids with their family. </p>
<p>The best blogging advice I have is to treat blogging like a job. I love blogging. It&#8217;s a really fun &#8220;job&#8221;. Here are a few things that work for me.</p>
<p>*Decide how much time you want to devote to your blog. In my opinion, this time should include time spent promoting your blog on Twitter, Facebook, answering emails, etc. Do you want to blog every day? Once a week? Whatever you decide, be consistent. Readers appreciate knowing how often you post. </p>
<p>*Network. Just like any other job, you need to network. Create a Twitter account. Comment on blogs you like. Participate in Blog Carnivals like Works for Me Wednesday and <a href="http://amysfinerthings.com/declutter-challenge">The 730/365 Declutter Challenge</a>. Join groups like <a href="http://sitsgirls.com/">SITS</a>. You&#8217;ll meet interesting people and you&#8217;ll get a lot of new traffic this way. </p>
<p>*Finally, just like any other job, you need continuing education. Seek advice. Learn about new things, such as <a href="http://www.myblogspark.com/">My Blog Spark</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/alerts">Google Alerts</a>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what works for me! Hope it works for you, too.</p>
