I can say that i'm a good blogger outside of steemit and I already have a good understanding on how this actually works.
Here are my top 5 tips for you guys wanting to build a strong Blog :
Even if in the begging it may seem like a struggle, consistency is the key to growing a blog and make it flourish. Do not give up if sometimes you put in a lot of effort on some cool article and it feels like no one is out there reading.
We as human beings need reward for hour work to keep us going, but creating a good blog takes more time than creating a good post.
2. BUILD A NETWORK
Writing is not everything, you need to reach out to people that are doing the same thing, discuss, share opinions, argue, agree on topics, thus bulding together . It's great that you are good at decorating bedrooms, but you need more people with different skills than yours to build houses.
3. BE PICKY WITH TOPICS
Don't write about topics you don't know anything about. You can create an interesting discussion if you do your research before. You will not be surprised by questions about the topic, and you will have a better workflow if you don't change topics so often.
4.QUALITY > QUANTITY
Your focus should be on creating ,good, quality content. In fact, doing so , your readers will also visit your other posts, because they know their time is well spent on your page, and they will learn new things.
5. SET GOALS
Blogging like any other activity that rewards quality, needs you to have a proper mindset. Just like in sports, marketing, your aim needs to be to reach a certain point along the way to success, overcome it, and then set another goal, reach it and so on. Never settle for less. Post one article every 2 days for the 1st month, then 1 article daily for 2 months, just remember never to stop writing, repetition makes us perfect.
P.S. These tips are not valid if you are a girl on steemit. You can post nice pictures of you and you will have success i guess ( but it's short time success no worries)
