A Blog Story…Part 6

Okay, now that you are armed with all this great info…when should you start your blog?

Did you think I was going to say “Today”?

Not quite: here are some things to think about…

1. Write down your goals for your blog.

2. Think about the “personality” you’d like to portray.

3. Set priorities. (Is this a priority for you at this time?)

4. Look at your schedule and be realistic.

5. Check out other people’s blogs. Write down what you like and don’t like.

6. Look at Blogger, Typepad, MySpace and other blog hosts and consider your options.

7. Make a blogging plan and stick to it like any other writing and marketing goal!

8. Pray about this as a possible new ministry.
