How to be a successful blogger in 5 easy steps

I have a blog. Therefore I am a blogger. If you are reading this, then I am a successful blogger.

For my first post ever, I thought I would share some tips as to how you, too, might become a successful blogger.

Step 1

Setup a blogger account.

Step 2

Think very carefully about what you want to post. This step will take you somewhere between 12 and 24 months.

Step 3

Pick up Scoble's book, "Naked Conversations". Read it very carefully, so you understand the blogging culture.

Step 4

Let the book sink in. Maybe another 8 months or so. You don't want to rush into anything here. Subscribe to lots of blogs and lurk for a while.

Step 5

Be sure to include an Amazon associates link in your first post, so that everyone knows you are in this for the right reasons.
