 How to do "market research" for a weblog?
How would I do "market research", so to speak, for a weblog I might write?
I recently (and horribly naively) started writing a weblog of my own (so far just thoughts about issues facing certain ethnic groups in America), although I do not seek to do this weblog for money. However, it has gotten a total of zero views so far, and I realized that I'd need to have it linked to places first, and that it should not only put out my own views and questions, but also should serve a purpose for its audience. I'll probably start over from scratch once I get it right.
I've figured out I need to answer these questions:
- what sort of potential audiences are out there
- whether they're interested in reading a weblog at all
- what would draw them to a website in the first place
- how to get to critical mass
How would I find out answers to these? Where would I look, or who would I talk to?
