Generic blogs can easily fail though. People tend to have a hard time find a specific niche.

I’m new to bloggingl I started out real generic… a basic family site. Then I started to use my voice and starting blogging my passions. I know where my focus is now, and I have found my niche. I agree this is the way to go to learn and to find yourself but sticking to a niche seems to be more profitable.

@mypage5:

Read it again please

@Tyrone:

Hmm, that’s where I am now, its not too Generic (I don’t speak of my daily life, who wants to hear that..?) and its not too niche (No, I am not about WordPress alone.. !). Its working for me…

Thanks for the compliments…

@Boerne:

Newbies should go to Kindergarten; I would send my kid there before he chooses the main stream. But once you find the niche, you are right, stick to it. Find your love and then stick to it

@philly:

I liked the colors there; Let me give you one killer tip: Move to Self Hosted WordPress ASAP.

@Venustiano:

Hey, first let me congratulate on your choice of WordPress. Hope you shift to a self hosted one soon!

You just did the most important thing in blogging, you posted a post

Btw, if you are good at it, Blogs will bring you money too! Good luck!

Hi Arun

I found this post in the exact moment I need it.

I´d been reading a lot of blogs and ebooks about blogging, and I was until now in analizys-paralisys state, I mean, doing anything, without taking the first step.

But, yesterday I decided to start a blog like you are saying in this post exactly. I gonna write with freedom and I gonna find my core skills, and my true passion soon. (I hope so).

Thanks a lot buddy, I´d believed I was the unique people thinking in this way.

By other hand, just my personal though, If you are looking for money only, you must use traditional business websites, if you are looking for fun, friends, communication, adventure, to share hobbies, etc. and aside some money, well, blogs are the right way.

Hey All,
This is great stuff. I appreciate all of the comments and the insights. I am a nubie and yes, I got involved because of reading blogs and just got ticked about an issue and committed it to text. I started the blog. I guess I am a generic and have had thoughts about working to fine tune the process and expand. While I have thoughts of adding a niche from my day job situation I dont think I have the time to make it work but I want to write and share. The other thing I want to comment on is the money making aspect. Yeah, I though it would be good to make some cash but it is not necessarily the draw for me. I am in it to develop the skill and the know how, gain some exposure, build a following and then…hmmm! My struggles however is with traffic. I am struggling to get the networking thing in tact and get read.
I need some tips and help on that. Check out my humble attempt and let me know what you think.
I appreciate your blog and all of you expert’s comments!
