What Makes a Great Blogger?

[Grace Saunders]

I had my own blog, once. Would've liked to have done one decicated to games, and for horror stuff. But no one would have read it or commented.

I think what Rob said is right. You can tell if a blogger really enjoys what he/she is writing about. It shows in their content.

I think a good blogger has regular, good content. I read "how to blog" blogs. Photography blogs. Personal blogs that have good photos and humor. I'm looking for something different in each type of blog.

For the how to blogs/make money blogs I want to learn something new. Not just a rehash of what's out there. For the photography blogs I want photography help, lighting, cameras, compostion, photoshop help, etc. For the personal blogs, I want to be entertained and get a sense of community on the blog. From a personal perspective, if they have great pictures on their blog, so much the better.

Not too late Grace; now that you're here... You'll find ways to get people to visit it. Ultimately if it's something you'd enjoy creating... What are you waiting for. Despite popular belief; the internet is STILL in it's infancy. It's like 10 years old... It's going to be here 20, 30, 50 years from now.

Someone who updates their blog frequently...so they'll forces me to go back to their blog everyday.

There are a lot of good points there! I agree, there can be the same topic, but many different ways of delivering that content and making it your "own".

There are different kind of bloggers... for instance, blogging for passion and blogging for money. If you want to blog for money, I would say it's more of being a "great marketer" rather than a "great blogger."

But a lot of great bloggers that I know have unique content, well-written articles, friendly, gives back to the Blogosphere, etc...

Agreed. I think that's one of the reason's why I don't really go to all those big names bloggers. I rather read and learn from other people that are willing to give back to the Blogosphere, essentially, the up and coming A-listers!

Come to think of it, most of the good blogs that I have read lately are from small bloggers...You also have to accept that it will take time for you to establish yourself.
