Blogging is not science and practically anybody can start right now. However, there are definitely some attributes you may need to have if you want to succeed. Some of these are more or less important however together they create a good platform for any blogger to achieve what they want.

Creativity – Ok, let’s face it. You should have at least tiny bit of creativity otherwise it would be very difficult to create any content. Some people are less creative than others so perhaps look for inspiration at the least unexpected places. I actually found some sort of inspiration from almost all my colleagues. It is usually something they do or say that gives me an idea for another article.

Organisation skills – Blogging is often about goals, targets, planning, time keeping, scheduling and everything organisation related. Well, it is good to have a schedule and plan and make sure you know what is coming next. I am lucky as I am very organised person.

Persistence – So many people give up after few days, weeks or months. The return from blogging does not come over night. Whatever it is you want (more readers, fun, money, collaborations, more comments). You have to be patient and persistent. And you will achieve your goals.

Commercial Awareness – If you get serious about blogging and you want to grow, make money or have other sorts of success you have to be commercial. You have to understand this “business” and how it works and how you can make it better. You may get to the point where negotiating is going to be one of the more important skills. And you will also need some networking and pitching skills. Even if you are not getting paid for PR for certain products but you want to recommend it you need to know how to convince your readers it is a great product.

Passion – And last but not least. You need to love it. If I did not love it I would finish years ago. I had so many moments when I wanted to quit but you my lovely readers always gave me another breath with your encouraging comments.

Blogovani neni zadna veda. Prakticky muzete zacit prave ted. Staci vam pocitac a internet. Ale existuje rada atributu, ktere je dobre mit, pokud clovek chce v blogovani vydrzet a nasledne uspet. Nektere maji vetsi ci mensi vahu, ale spolu vytvari skvele predpoklady, ktere vam pomohou k vydrzi a uspechu.

Kreativita – Je vam asi jasne, ze be kreativniho ducha by asi bylo tezke vytvorit nejaky obsah. Nekdo ma kreativity vice a nekdo mene. Kdyz uz me treba nenapada, co na blog tvorit, tak hledam inspiraci na tech nejmene ocekavanych mistech. A muzu take s cistym srdcem rict, ze snad kazdy z kolegu v mem tymu v praci me nejakym zpusobem inspiroval. Vetsinou je to neco, co reknou nebo udelaji a to mi da podnet k dalsimu clanku. 

Organizacni schopnosti – Planovani, stanoveni cilu, dochvilnost, seznamy apod. To vsechno je soucasti blogovani. Ja mam to stesti, ze v tomhle jsem fakt dobra. Jinak bych nemohla delat praci co delam a jeste blogovat. Vsem doporucuji si rozepsat plan o cem chcete psat a premyslet o techto vecech predem. Nekdy tohle ma dane prirozene a nekteri bohuzel musi na planovacich schopnostech pracovat o neco vice.

Vydrz – Uz tolikrat jsem chtela zkoncit. Kazdy bloger proziva obdobi, kdy chce vse ukoncit a mit klid. Ale blogovani je opravdu hodne o vydrzi. Nezvdavejte to. Jestli uz chcete dosahnout vice komentaru, chodit na zajimave akce, spolupracovat s oblibenou znackou ci vydelavat tak tohle se nestane za den, tyden a a treba ani mesic ci dva. Veci, ktere stoji za to vetsinou nejsou zadarmo a clovek si musi pockat. 

Obchodni duch – Proc by blogerka potrebovala mit obchodnicho ducha? Protoze se musi neustale nekde presentovat, vyjednavat, musi se umet prodat, musi si byt vedoma toho, co ji lisi od ostatnich. Jako v kazdem druhem odvetvi. Mozna neprodavame auta ci domy, ale prodavame vlastne sebe, nasi osobnost a pozdeji kdyz se vam zastesti i produkty. I kdyz vam za reklamu nikdo neplati a treba chcete jenom urcitou vec doporucit, je dobre znit verohodne a vedet, jak produkt co nejlepe presentovat. 

Vasen – A k cemu by vam byla kreativita ci obchodni duch, kdyz vas to vlastne nebude bavit. Vasen a laska k blogovani je opravdu nejdulezitejsi. Kdyby me to nebavilo, nestrasila bych vas uz 6 let. To da smysl.
