Blogging For Beginners Commandments
In the infographic below about beginners blogging commandments Karen covers:

Newbie bloggers often struggle to get their first readers and turning their blog into a profitable business. 
Being a good blogger consists of more than good writing skills, so most writers have a lot of questions when they start. Should your blog posts be optimized for search engines or for your readers? How long should the posts be and how frequent should you publish them? Is it better to choose a specific niche or dance around a few different topics?
All these questions often scare people off before they even start a blog. Trust me, blogging is not as scary as it sounds. There are experienced bloggers like me who are dedicated to helping out people who are starting out, and with the right information starting your own blog will be an easy and fun activity. This infographic exists to help you realize that goal. It will give you a nice overview of the most important factors you need to pay attention to when starting out and guide you on your way to becoming an expert blogger.

This infographic will set you on the right path, but you are the one who will have to walk that path. The first, and probably the scariest, step on that path is writing your first post. Don’t be afraid to make that step.
