I am new in the blogging business, the first thing I do is to post to hosted blogs, most of the blogs I am working on are wordpress based, its well known that WordPress is ideal for almost all kinds of blogging needs, people even use it as CMS, with the fact that its licensed under GPL make the wordpress the most famous and versatile blogging software of all time.

After a while I believed that build my own blogs will be more beneficial, because afterwards I can use the already built blogs to promote whatever I want, and I think its not a patentable idea, the existence of blog networks already says it all, the thing is that I don’t control those blogs, not to mention I can’t just post to them, probably I will have to pay quite dearly to have my sites promoted.

Its a tedious job to maintain more than a few blogs, if you don’t like garbage on your blogs,to write real stuff for your blogs will be time consuming, you have to put in time and money to build a successful blog. I’ve seen quite a few real world examples, such as this one, Blog Network, the domain name is pretty good, and there are a lot of interesting articles on it, since this is not a themed blog, almost any interesting posts get posted on it. Here is another one, Truck Tie Down, this blog is themed, all posts are following the same theme, quite a few keywords rank well for this site. Its easy to show more similar sites, but you should already see the point. Here is one last note, in your little net you should have some loose blogs, do some casual postings randomly, take one blog as example, Lift Dolly, this will make a blog network more like naturally built blog groups.

When you already have a few interesting blogs, you can try to build a few more, the old blogs will be helpful in promoting your newly built ones, this is the way to build your own blogging network. Of course its just the beginning, to build a successful network will be much more complicated, follow the white hat tricks and ethic codes of online conduct you will be fine.
