How hard is to make a successful blog?

Share your stories and opinions please. I'm thinking about starting my own so I would be really grateful for responses.

It's as hard as anything that requires sustained effort. Just start and see if you like it.

You make strange threads btw. Are you a real person? Do you make game art?

I understand this and agree with you, I was just curious about specifications in case of blogging. But anyway thanks for your response!
Uhm your question seems strange for me... Of course I'm a real person and game art is one of my main hobbies. Don't understand why you asked about this though...

Didn't mean any offense, just from the threads you made I was wondering if your account was a bot of some kind. You should post some game art! It's the funnest part of this forum.

Don't worry, your comment wasn't unpleasant, it just sounded strange and funny for me especially because of that words about bot. Yeah, I saw many examples of art from other guys, many works are amazing! I'm just still a bit shy for posting my own art hahah

I don't necessarily maintain a active blog, but I do post on tumblr whatever I don't feel like posting on artstation/polycount. Usually it's either just ideas I'm coming up with or daily updates to an asset I'm working on. I just like having it there and don't put any effort into posting.

Thanks for response! Heard about Tumblr, is it a convinient service for blogging? I noticed that many people use it.

Yeah, as above just start one and see how you go. There's really no dark art too it, although being concise and relevant when posting commentary on any given subject matter at hand I think should be the primary objectives to keep in mind.

If successful is your chief criteria, I'd suggest defining precisely what that means. 

This might be relevant (about getting traffic)

You're going to want to not be shy about your own art, of all things, to start up an art blog about your art.
