    Hi,

    I was wondering what I should blog about because I know the things Im interested in but I think they are like 1 article things. Well, first, heres what Im interested in.


    How can I make a blog about this? Or is there something else I blog about? And I don't really want to hire anyone to do it.

    Thanks,

    You need to blog about what you are knowledgeable in, what you can write best and what you can write that will be different from the rest to be successful

    You could review the latest cars and games.

    For cars, there are auto shows held from time to time. Post a review about them. Talk about car insurance, car handling, how to make your car more fuel efficient, rules for cars in various countries etc.

    Give you an Example.

    I am into Internet, particularly Marketing. So I blog about Internet Marketing and Marketing online and all issues and subjects and categories pertaining to that niche topic, like this blog at OnlineInternetMarketingTip.com

    Since you have identified your niche topics already, that should be easy.

    * Write Reviews of Products
    * Write reviews of Services
    * Post your Skills or Talent
    * Showcase your Graphic Design Expertise
    * Post Photo/Images of Cars
    * Review Latest Gaming topics

    I am interested in a lot of things...if this is your first blog, blog about something that you know.

    Something that you are versed on, and have been for some time, and that you naturally are always up to date with the latest news because it is something that you really enjoy.

    In other words, blog about a passion, not just an interest, then it won't seem like work to update it, and your passion about it will show.
    Don't let popularity, current pop culture trends, or keywords, dictate your blog, or you will end up with a mediocre blog struggling constantly to get new visitors instead of growing from satisfied readers.

    It only takes a whim, and 10 minutes on blogger to throw another MFA on the web.
    Do what you like, not what you think others will like...and lastly:
    There is plenty of great advice on this forum to help you on your way, but DO NOT WRITE YOUR BLOG TO PLEASE WEBMASTERS, write it to please your readers.

    Who told you that these topics are 1 article things :confused::confused: Is internet a 1 article thing?

    You can definitely write a blog on the above mentioned topics. You can write review of games, info about upcoming games, tutorials on graphic design and theres a lot to write on internet.

    Hi, Pixel T. You can start with the basics of each topic first and you can write more from them. And if I may add, try also making a list of articles that you want to write about in the future. That way, you can write consistently. It would also help if you come up with a schedule when you want to publish your articles, say every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It's better than writing when you're only inspired. :)

    You will get two kind of advice which are blog about what you like and have knowledge in and another one will be blog about what can make you the money and bring you the traffic. It is all up to you.

    If you really have knowledge in and like the stuffs that you have listed out, I can tell you that each and everyone of them will make you some bucks in the future so no worries in it.

    Now, what you can do is to start it. You can start by testing the waters using free host like Blogger, eg. opening 4 blogs with the four things that you like. Start writing and after one week, I am sure you will find the topic that you are most comfortable in and probably a self-hosted Wordpress blog is your next option.

    Of course, if you are serious, don't stay on Blogger too long. It is just for you to test your writing skills.

    All four have got potential....

    Open a document in a word processor of choice, write down those four headings, under each heading write a sentence on a potential blog post, then start to expand each of those sentences. Once you have 8-10 potential posts, get a blog up and running (one for each of the four), post those 8-10 posts and then keep posting at a rate of 2-3 posts a week... within a couple of months you'll have four healthy, happy blogs :)

    Good Luck.

    I think you should blog about cars on one and the Internet on another. They are both god topics to spur discussion.

    you could have an entire blog dedicated to any one of those topics...

    Those are pretty broad topics and there is LOTS to sayt about all of them:

    Basics, current trends, good examples, lessons, etc....
