Some planning is easy: * Audience * Frequency * Goals (become a thought leader, just share some personal tidbits, etc) * Business motives behind it * Cut-off point (will you keep at it during early days of no audience) Then you can dig deeper into these levels as well as others. And it's very kind of Matt to offer that outreach - you can't go far wrong with any advice from him! :) As Matt says, Laura, a plan is almost a given. Some planning is easy:

* Audience

Even if you are blogging at a "professional" level - you have to infuse some of your personality into the mix - that's what people will REALLY connect with. Cheers!
