  It's good to take your time to develop a blogging identity that will keep you motivated to write. Improving upon your writing and expressing yourself clearly should be your first priority.

Popularity is not just measured in total number of unique page hits or number of followers. You should look for ways to retain readership, beyond a one-time visit. Just visiting and commenting on other blogs helps (popular ones or not). Yet marketing your blog effectively will take time and effort, just like with developing blog content.
