Difficulty:

Moderate

Instructions

1. Open your blog. There are many different free blog providers, such as Blogger.com and Wordpress.com. Choose one that suits you and start building your blog by signing up, creating a profile and naming your blog. Pay special attention to the blog's name, since that's the first part of your blog that readers encounter.

2. Pick a topic, theme or angle. Anime encompasses a breadth of topics and depth of detail. You must create a distinctive angle for your anime blog to build a successful blog. Whether it's something as simple as your opinions about anime or something more specific such as animation techniques or industry news, it's important to take a detailed look at the subject.

3. Write often. The success of a blog almost always has more to do with the frequency, rather than the quality, of the posts. Even if you have nothing particular to say on a given day you should still post something, sucha as a comment about your day or an embedded anime video that you found interesting.

4. Publicize and cross-link. The great thing about publicizing a blog is that it's more a social than a professional endeavor. Check out other anime or animation blogs that you find interesting and add them to your blog roll. Ask the blog owners to add your link to their rolls. Occasionally add some controversy to draw passionate readers into debates.
