This is excellent advice. Too many people just start writing with no plan in mind and then run out of steam after a few weeks or months. Writing a small business plan for your blog is a good way to keep the momentum going.

Yes for instance like that. I know that it is very much different from person to person, but just to get an idea from more people than you.

I.e. can you live off of it? How long did it take to get 20.000 unique visitors per month? And so forth. Like you say – different stages.

I think a lot of people are very excited about the whole thing right when they start their blog, but the exciment tends to wear off with time unless you see some results. I think that your way of setting mini goals makes the approach a lot easier as you are more likely to feel the success more often keeping the motivation intact.

Steen,

Do you mean time needed to reach blogging goals or..audiences or..? Can you be more specific?

Normally, it will take months depending on your time/effort/experience gained along the way. For myself, even I’m an year old ++ blogger now but still feeling I haven’t learn enough. Since started I have placed certain mini goals in every stage, each requires weeks to months of efforts.

Nice post with many good points – thanks!

One question: How much time should one expect it to take to get a decent following (taking the blogowner has something valueable to offer of course).

I know this is a question which is impossible to answer but for sure some of you here know how long it took you Just to get a picture…
Thanks
