This is another question that is popular when one to start a blog.

Let’s be frank here. I am tempted to say that the quality of writing and thought appearing on blogs is inferior to other media, such as newspapers and magazines. But bear in mind that those who write in newspapers and magazines are professional or trained writers.

But nowadays there are many blogs are superb in writing and their thoughts. Look around and you can find intelligent, well written blogs on the Internet on virtually any topic. And you can also find amateurish, inaccurate, sloppy blogs on those some topics.

My advise is if you want to start a blog, you must stick to what you know and you will be a more effective, more persuasive, more credible communicator. And by knowing a thing, I don’t mean just researching and reading about it. I mean knowing from actual experience.

The only way to ensure total credibility as a blogger is not to blog on a subject unless you have actually done it. If you have not done it and a reader challenges you, you are completely vulnerable because you do not totally know what you are talking about.

So in summary you no need to be a good writer but you need to be knowledgeable enough on your topic that you are going to blog. That is the most important in blogging world.

Guys, stay tune here as in couple of days I would like to talk about “The 6 questions to ask when starting your blog”. It will broaden your mind on how to start a blog.

Happy blogging.
