Hi, welcome to the new year my friends. This is my first post for year 2010. I begin my first 2010 post with some checklist in order to be a better blogger.
This is a checklist if you would like to be a professional blogger and earn marvelous cash from your blog. It can be apply for a full time blogger and part time blogger.
Checklist before start blogging
- Blogging at your own domain.
- Choose a domain name which is suitable with your writing topic.
- Choose a reliable and stable hosting.
- Use wordpress as a blog platform.
- Make sure your blog theme look professional.
- Choose a niche that has less competitors.
- Place a button bookmark or share this at each post. Retweet button is a famous button currently.
- Join social networks. I suggest you join Facebook and Twitter. Most of people use them now.
- Don’t ignore about me page. Complete the page with your background information.
- Encourage people to subscribe to your blog feed. Use feedburner as your RSS feed. For advance, can use aweber for newsletter(recommended).
- Signup for make money programs or advertising programs.
- Place codes into your blog.
Daily checklist
- Update daily. At least 1 post per day.
- Blog walking and leave comments at 15 blogs.
- Help people at forum. Use a signature that contain your blog URL.
- Visit your social network to engage with community.
- Submit your post everytime you publish at social bookmarking sites.
- Reply each comment from your blog visitors.
I’m sure, after 3 months your blog will gain more exposure, your blog rank will increase(alexa+PR) if you can do all the checklist everyday.

nice tips…
membuatkan aku printout akhirnya. haha~
I think this is one of the best post I’ve read about check list for blog…I really like it…Simple and easy to understand… Keep it that way =)
Thank you for providing some nice tips. For success in blogging we have to own all best strategy.
It’s a sad truth that you won’t be leaving any comments on my blog because I’m using blogspot. Yeah, since the first time I start blogging I love the Wordpress comment section. But I started using Blogspot so I have to accept it.
Well, maybe I should either use Disqus or Intense Debate for my blog. Or maybe just switch to Wordpress which might cost me quite amount of money.
Implement 3rd party comments manager like Disqus and Intense Debate is good to get rid of annoying blogspot comment type
Hey nice post for sure. Personal best for me is to help others on social book mark sites and on other groups too. That really pays in the long run.
It’s kind of build a strong relationship among bloggers. Good for a long term as you said
good tips fazreen . a very clear list and easy to understand….
Thanks Jeandsen..I bet you are busy with your work till don’t have time to blogwalking
The checklists are phenomenal. Perhaps I could use it as my kitab to be a problogger.
Right now I am using Carrington theme for my blog. Perhaps one day I should use Thesis like yours.
Just a little information by the way. Hope we can gain something from the checklist. You got a nice blog too. Keep it up..
‘Choose a niche that has less competitors.’ – Do you think it really work? Does this able to generate the traffic which is good in term of earning money? If so, which niche you will choose? I’m little curious to know the definition on problogger from you.
Nothing impossible. I will answer your question in next update post since what I listed above is just the overview not the insight of blogging.
nice entry……
baus gak ni kalau dapat kongsi entri ini di http://pengupasjalanan.com/jomkupas/
hehehe….

thanks bro for the checklist.
i like the part make sure your theme looks like proffesional.
most of malaysian blogger ignores this.
Thank you Nara..Yup because of they don’t have enough money to buy a premium theme or doing customization..
easy to follow checklist.
simple, short, and easy to manage.
keep on writing.
Thanks dr..keep coming for new interesting update..
I find this point “Update daily. At least 1 post per day.” is not easy to be completed if you handle few blogs and websites individually, of course I’m not included into the list of Problogger, that’s not a simple mission and you need to be well known and chosen by the bloggers.
Also, replying everyone’s comment is not easy as well unless all the commentators leave valuable comment. I used to reply valuable comment in my blog only, since some of the comments just say “Thanks for sharing the post and I like it!” or something like this, we have nothing to reply except “Thank you.”, I rather skip it.
Anyway, instantly improvement is good for everyone.
Cheers,
Lee

Thank you very much!
