11. What advice would you give to new bloggers wanting to start blogging and help them start out on a path to success?
I want to share that blogging has two sides; good and bad. The good thing is that you can express yourself through freedom of writing, because you are the writer of your own blog freely, yet responsibly. This will help you also to learn how to be a professional writer with respect.
Well, the bad thing is putting too much time in blogging and not giving yourself time to relax so you can do sensible writing for your blog. Always use your effort properly. Success is always there for us if we only know how to serve other people in a good way.
