⟩ What is the best way to sell a blog? For example, how can a new weblog get recognized and how can old weblogs keep pulling people in? Is it just about having good content?
I think the key is to blog about your passions. If you're really passionate about something, it shows.
I think every blogger goes through a phase where they lose focus on their passions and start worrying about "pulling people in" - sort of a mid-life crisis in the life of your blog. That's generally a good time to take some time off.
