For those of you actors/voice actors who are planning to start your own blogs in 2012, here are some excellent tips on what NOT to do...
(H/t to fellow Scoop.it curator Martin Gysler for yet another excellent find.
"Are you thinking of starting a blog in 2012, or making significant changes to your old one?
One thing that you should always be 100% clear on is your purpose of writing. Is it to start a personal blog where you don’t really care if you have a total readership of 9 or is it to have a blog that you want to monetize at some point.
