When a blogger matures, he may start another blog. So I have seen some new blogs of very successful bloggers. Something which I noticed is the launch – their blog has at least three or four articles. One of the biggest mistakes I did was to start my blog with just one article. Why it is important to have more than one article? I will discuss something which I have experienced and noticed.

When I started, I had just one article. It took me some time to get everything in place and start real blogging. I have reached following conclusions regarding a new blog startup.

1. When a new visitor comes to your blog, he will see just one article. There is a high tendency of him leaving the blog, even if the content is good. People love to have some authenticity to the content they read. So if they see a new blog with just one post, they consider it as something very amateur and less authentic.
2. More than one post, allows the visitor to get a good idea about the topic/niche which you are writing.
3. It exhibits your knowledge in the niche – not too many people can produce some good content on a niche at the startup. So this also adds to the trust of the reader.
4. Visitor will spend more time in your site if I am offering more than one post.
5. If the articles are good, he may share it with his friends. So you get a dream start for your blog.
6. It gives you more time to concentrate on marketing and spreading the news. You have a got a some very good articles, which can satisfy you readers.

When I started a blog, I made this mistake. But later I came to know about this. So I lost this life time opportunity ( yeah.. I can not restart this blog ). But I have seen that this happens to most of the people – because they are unaware. If you are planning to start a new blog, make sure that you don’t make this mistake.
