Focus
There are a lot of 'little' things that are involved in building a blog besides simply blog posting. SEO tactics, content research & development and managing comments are amongst an assortment of tasks that require attention. As a result the ongoing need to maintain your focus will be a key to successfully completing these tasks and staying on track.

Persistence
As is the case in most undertakings that may take an extended period of time to complete blogging will present its setbacks. The ability to work around or through these times will be a valuable asset that helps you to continue moving forward toward your ultimate goal. Setbacks must be viewed as nothing move than learning curves!

Patience
As I have stated many times in the past blog building is a process and not a one time event! Results do not come overnight, at least not in the beginning; therefore you will need to adopt patience as your constant companion.

Strong Work Ethic
Although there is nothing about blogging that is complicated it will require a constant effort on your part to achieve any degree of success. There will be times when you will be tempted to 'take a break' or 'cut corners' just to take a chill. It is times like this that the right work ethic will see you through the successful completion of all those required tasks. Your payoff for this effort will be the results you see when you do become one of the most popular blogs in your selected niche.

Sharing Personality
Perhaps this trait should be listed as #1 since practicing abundance is at the very core of supplying useful information. A really good blogger passes along great content that others may perhaps try to sell. The very essence of what you post to your site is useful and informative content that will benefit readers.

Blog success actually starts from within the individual who operates the site itself. There are certain consistent characteristics that many of the best blog sites share which can be seen within the quality and consistency of their blog posting efforts. These 5 traits that are reviewed above seem to be what readers are looking for and are therefore needed to attract and retain traffic. If you possess these characteristics they will, by default, be reflected in your efforts and readers WILL notice. The end result, if you stick with it, will be your site becoming one of the most popular blogs within your niche.
