Just few years ago, everyone started to blog. Their passion has certainly died out slowly and if you check out the stats, I am pretty sure 90% of the bloggers have abandoned their blogs. The reason why I started this blog is very simple - just to write down my thoughts and opinions. I wanted no audience, still I don't know honestly who is reading my blog. When I look at my earlier blogging days, I had the urge to blog everything. I passionately look for something to blog everyday. Now, I think if it is really going to benefit my readers.
So, what should you blog from now on?
If something is useful to others (not your dad, mom and friends - send them an email, instead), blog it.If you have a big friend's circle and keep them updated about you, you can write a weekly/monthly update on your blog.
You can write customer reviews for the products that you use - honest opinions really help your readers.
You can write travelogues of the places you visited - write a complete guide what to do, where to eat/sleep etc.
There is always a need for 'How-to-do' posts and you could make one.
What you shouldn't blog?
Weblinks, bookmarks - use Delicious and share your feed.
Videos - No need to embed youtube videos, share your favourite video list.
No need to write if you had a coffee/bath - Use twitter / Plurk.
Do not write anything that doesn't add any value to reader (But, who decides it?).
