I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog.
It's just an idea at this point - I haven't yet committed to it, because I know doing it right will require time - but the idea alone is spinning all sorts of questions through my mind. Should I blog under my real name or a pseudonym? Should I go general or pick a specific focus? Should I do video blogs or podcasting? Should I get someone else to edit or proofread for me? What's the end goal, and what can I do to set myself up for that from the start?
Since this forum is home to a lot of excellent bloggers, I'm curious what advice you'd give to someone starting the process you've already gone down. What did you wish you'd known before starting a blog? What advice would you have for someone starting now?
Edit: And before someone posts them, I have read The Private Man and Roosh's advice, and Matt Forney's book on Online Hustling.
