Some time back … when cameras used film … I asked a very competent and commercially successful photographer if he would tutor me or teach me how to tkae better pictures. His response?

First step is easy … go take 1,000 pictures and then get on my calendar to sit down and critique them … he also added that not 1 in 1,000 people who asked him for help ever completed this first assignment.

Becuase I had access to bulk 35mm film and a darkroom to do my own processing I actually did complete the assignment … I never pursued a career in photography any farther, but I certainly learned a heck of a lot about taking pictures and developing and printing them. More valuable thna any book would have been.

There are 10,001 things to learn about blogging, especially financially successful blogging … but not one tip is more valuable than this tip … write blog posts. When you have completed say 100 or so you will not only know alot more thna when you started, but you’ll have some traffic, some readers and a sense of direction. There is _nothing_ more imoportant thna posting regularly.

Also, he’s the reason I got into blogging in the first place. [...]

I’m in my second month of blogging and I’m hoping I can keep it up. I admit I was a posting fiend in the first month, but it’s that third one I’m nervous about! I get all antsy when I come up empty for an idea. Tell me it gets better.

Thanks a lot for this post, somehow i feel really encouraged now. I’ve been blogging for almost 6 months now and it’s only a month ago that I starting to consistently posting in my blog. It’s very hard for me earlier to find a good material to be post but now somehow I starting to enjoy myself blogging. I don’t really care if no one’s wants to read my post this time around. I think the most important thing right now is to enjoy myself blogging, blog about the things I love and at the same time to improve my writing and blogging skills. That’s what I think.

Thanks for this post. I’ve just started blogging and I think this challenge is exactly what I need to get my writing engine revved up.
Here is my list as to what is holding me back;So, here is my list of what’s holding me back,

1. I’m so new to blogging that I want every post to be really powerful.
2. I don’t have enough time.
3. I don’t have enough subject matter.
4. Will people actually be interested in what I have to say.
5. With only a few subscribers at this point, I feel kinda silly.
6. I don’t have enough time. (yeah, I know this one is repeated, but I think it’s accurate)

I’m sure that covers the basics for now.
