I'd say my best first tips are to get the name right and to be consistent posting. The more often you post, the more you'll figure out your voice and your content- but just be consistent whether that means three days a week or five. When I first started I picked a topic for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and that helped me create content each week. I'd suggest that to anyone. It is a lot of work and it was a lot of work before it started to pay. I tell people that you have to love whatever you blog about and the process of sharing those things more than you need money from it. The money will come with time if you put in the effort to grow a following and learn the skills, but that does take a fair amount of time and unpaid work.
