Anybody can blog
As I’ve mentioned previously, you don’t need to be a good writer to blog. If you’re a full-grown adult who writes like a 10-year-old, for instance, I suppose you could still become famous by passing yourself off as a 5-year-old blogger. The anonymity of the web allows that.
Of course, I’m just being facetious. I’ve done enough business on the internet to know some of the tricks and tactics people use to make a few bucks. Personally, I don’t do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable in my own skin. And I certainly don’t recommend that people do unethical things to gain an unfair advantage. Sooner or later, they’ll be discovered for the frauds that they are and all their bad karma will catch up with them.
Now back to the topic. The reason you don’t need to be an exceptional writer to become a successful blogger is that much of the work is marketing. In fact, it can be argued that marketing is even more important than content generation. There are no shortage of good writers in the blogosphere, but not all of them are savvy marketers. That’s not to say there aren’t a few exceptionally gifted writers who succeed even without much effort to promote themselves. Then there are the rest of us.

One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.
