1. Write about a niche that you have real interest in.  I write about parapsychology and healing because I am interested in this. This will (almost) ensure you’ll have the strength to continue when the initial steam is released. Also, that way you’ll learn more about your topic, meet (even if online) new people in your group and might become a central part of your niche.  I’ve had all these benefits.

2.  Investing in good posts pays off (often). There were some posts that I really invested in (in writing time). Some of them got very popular and are now the pillar posts of my site, driving most of the traffic from the search engines.

3.  Persistence wins. Only persistent bloggers make it big (or at least bigger than other). It takes time to be good in SEO, to write better, to bring readers etc. In order to stay persistent, see tip #1 here. Too many bloggers (including myself) have lost interest in their blogs just after a few posts.

These are only 3  tips. More lessons will come later.
