Think about something that will look forward to writing about every day. One question to ask yourself is this? Who will read my blog? These two steps are crucial before you start your blog. In my case I love my city Sydney, and I knew lots of people want to know where to go, what’s trending, great café’s etc. My other blog is about social media marketing, that’s what I do – it’s what I love.
