There's just one reason many bloggers fail: they fail to plan.
Let's look at an easy process you can follow to ensure your success.
1. Research Keywords: Look for Long Tail Keywords With Little Competition
Getting traffic starts with your choice of keywords.
In almost any niche, the top keywords are highly competitive. Avoid these. It's impossible for you to get traffic quickly if you're targeting highly competitive keywords -- unless you have a big budget.
If you have a tiny budget, or no budget at all, you need to look for long tail keywords, with a small number of competing pages.
Unfortunately, finding those keywords takes effort, but it's well worth it.
2. Buy a Domain Name Based on a "Buying" Keyword
When you've found at least one keyword which a good number of daily, searches and little competition, it's time to buy a domain name. Try to buy the domain for that exact keyword phrase.
3. Plan Your Content: Target Low-Competition Keywords First
Now you've purchased your domain, it's time to plan your content. You'll use all the research you've done so far. Select more keywords with good search volume, and little competition, and use those as for your categories.
Next you'll write content targeting those keywords.
Aim to add several posts to your blog each week. If you can blog daily, that's great, and you'll build up your traffic quickly. Sometimes this isn't possible, but blog as often as you can in your first month.
