It's really easy to do one OR the other. It's hard to do both at the same time.

I've been maintaining a blog for a while, and I am looking for ways to make it better. These are solid ideas, thanks. I have my students maintain blogs (with mixed results), and I just heard that one of my formers students, who is now teaching at a College in Nebraska, has asked his students to keep practice blogs. Whether or not those blogs directly help their practicing, they may find their blogging experience helpful. I'm glad you are encouraging musicians to blog, and thanks again for your advice.

That's probably the number 1 mistake that new bloggers make...me, me, me. BTW, the analogy extends to just about anything else--Concerts, recordings, merchandise, musical services, etc. If you have something to market, understand what the customer wants and needs!

But the short answer is this: 1) pick a great angle following the criteria in this post; 2) add a ton of great content; and 3) market it like crazy. Yes, you have to market this marketing tool!

How could I get people interested? I feel like it would just become white noise in the vastness of the internet.
