Check your motives at the door 

So , a blog you have, but want more traffic? First, check your motives : Is it helping people , a resource , and make a difference ? Or that you are famous? If the latter , quit now blogging. If you are self-serving reasons for blogging , then , that the actual inhibitor to the growth of your blog.

People want you to talk about them to you, do not .

It 's okay to write about personal experiences and what you have learned perspective from first hand, but be careful , make yourself into a kind of blog rock star. Instead, aim to be a resource and help for others.
