Relevent content is also important but add the personal touch to your posts too, let you shine through rather than just posting a post just to have content. Give the post a personality, so to speak.
The money-making blogs I enjoy are the ones with the personal touch, so I agree with mfolan. They will also post it in a simple, easy-to-read way. I think replying to readers' comments and questions also helps a lot too.
My approach to blogging is to be honest in my posts. Readers can tell if a person is not sincere. They will be lured into reading about things that they can relate to. There's a way that you can be personable without allowing yourself to be too exposed to your readers. If done right, it can reap great rewards.
Very interesting points made there. I'll be sure to use these points when i'm blogging next time. +Reputation..
