What ever niche you choose to blog about,I'm sure there are others who have chosen the same niche or will choose that niche too,and the one who have started blogging longer than you might have been successful with their blog,and the one who started at maybe the same time as yours or later might probably be in the same situation that you are in right now,still struggling in getting some decent traffic,maybe 10 or 20 people have subscribe while you wish it could have been more,still tweaking your blog to make it look better,always thinking is it a good idea to start with a free blogging platform or you should register your own domain and get your own hosting.
First of all,what you really need when you want to start blogging is self confidence,you must get rid of all the negative thinking if you want to start blogging.Once you have got that out of the way,you have to think on what you want to blog about,personal things,making money,blogging tips,technology,gadgets,pets,travel,life,beauty are among the thing you can blog about,but be sure to choose something that you really know rather than something that you feel is popular.I've seen a few blogs that have very random content from cricket,gadgets to Britney Spears all in one blog!How would people relate to you if you keep on writing about things that you just pick from anywhere and posted it in your blog,because it is popular and you hope it will help build your page rank or maybe you will end up in the top search engine results.
Once you have choose your blog topic,you have to choose which platform to use,if you have good income,get your own domain and hosting,it will certainly be good for your credibility because people do look up at blogs that are not using free hosting,but for me,this is all that I can afford at this time,so I will stick with Blogger for now.After that you can start blogging,and remember to post regularly with good quality and hopefully original content so your blog will be popular in 6 to 12 month time,or if you are lucky,you can achieve it within 3 month!With the long period of getting your blog popular,you surely need a lot of patience,and only this can help you achieve what you want,what your goal is,there are no shortcuts and you have to learn about SEO,you must if you want your blog on the top rank of search results.
So basically you need about 5 things to start blogging.

So basically you need about 5 things to start blogging.
- Self confidence.
- Topic you know.
- Blogging platform.
- Patience.
- Learn SEO.
There are other things you need to do like joining forums,leaving comments on other blogs,submit your blog to blog directories,network with other bloggers,linking with others but those 5 things are things you MUST do and have to make sure you will achieve success,with those other things acting as supplement in achieving your target,your goals.Most of the bloggers that I see put importance to comments and linking in trying to expose their blog and gaining popularity,but sadly they don't exactly have a blog with good topic,most of it are random post which they get from other sites.
