Planning before any new venture commences is essential to ensure that you determine whether the potential for success and reward justifies the effort required to complete the project. Unfortunately because it is so easy to setup and begin running a blog, far too many bloggers skip this step and then realize further down the line that their topic is not commercially viable. This is often due to the amount of competition or even in a worst case scenario the actual lack of a market audience.
You are going to be blogging everyday and thus your first consideration must be to consider what you are interested in or what you wish to learn more about. There are 3 reasons for this; you are going to face challenges with this project and it is up to you to battle through them; you are responsible for creating or locating the content and this means spending time carrying out research or networking with others to obtain a guest post from them. If you do not have the passion then your enthusiasm will very rapidly wane; even more importantly, if you allow your passion to shine through then your visitors will sense your passion and the posts will be far more enjoyable to read.
The topics that interest you, the blogger may range from subjects which are too popular to subjects which are of interest to only a small subset of the population. However, you will be unlucky if you have managed to find a subject where there is no potential for monetization. Thus do not dismiss any of your interests as the market is there waiting for you and your solutions.
With your list of interests to hand it is time to evaluate the market competition. The best way to do this is to visit their site and see their style, their income streams and of course just who their readers are. With this information and your passion you can now make an informed decision as to whether you have the stomach for a fight to win over the market audience. You can of course see what related interests there are by following the links to the commentators' sites and perhaps this maybe a more palatable challenge for you.
Finally you have the passion and the topic but do you really know what the point of your blog is? If it is purely financial then obviously you cannot tell your readers this and thus you will have to come up with a point for them. Having the answer to a single question will not be enough to generate sufficient content to allow for the site to stay fresh and generate any meaningful income, thus you must plot a journey of discovery for your visitors.
