I have been interested in blogging and online business for the last couple of years (lets say 3) I know a lot about blogging, social media and online marketing etc…In some cases I have put this knowledge to the test but nothing exists as of now.

I have been considering starting a blog on blogging. However, I feel that it will be tough to gain some credibility and authority within that niche given I have no real tangible website that I can prove myself on. Although I am confident in my ability to offer quality content consistently.

Also another issue that bothers me is that I am a teenage actor in my national country and I am on television quite frequently. I fear that launching into blogging would almost “type cast” me career wise. So my long winded question to you is

How do I blog with credibility and authority with little proof to prove so? And how do I juggle my passions for online and offline work in a way that won't hinder me in either?

I would to know what you think and thank you in advance.

See you.

It will take shape as you go. The problem with planning everything and spending ages setting it all up is that you may well change your mind about it down the track. For instance, you might start a blog about eBay, say, and tailor it for that. Then you find a more lucrative and enjoyable field to blog about, which renders a lot of that initial work worthless. Also, you might even get stuck with a dodgy host, or one that suddenly goes belly up.

I’d say it’s a good idea to not just get cracking on one blog. Start a few, and see which one becomes the most successful. Then focus on that in particular.
