How to start a blog

Taking the first step is a hard thing, similarly to starting a blog requires a lot of effort. With good knowledge and guidance you can start your blogging journey easily. But remember one thing, nothing comes easily, your continuous effort for learning and making it happen is important. 

Let's began with how to start a blog

Here is a step by step detailed guide about how to start a blog free.

1] Find your Perfect Niche and Blog Name.

This is the first and most important step before going deep into blogging. Choosing a blog topic or your niche determines the rest of the website's future. 

To make your searching easy, here are the few popular categories

• Personal Development
• Health
• Business
• FInance
• Investment
• Lifestyle
• Career
• Freelancing 
• Personal Finance
• Spiritual
• other

These are some popular niches or blog topics, and a lot of people write about them.

But you are someone who says I just want to write about my experience, learning and lesson learned. Then you can write about this also.

Take a note here, if you want to scale your blog and want to monetize and want to earn from it then you have to start from the start. It does not mean you cannot make money if you write about your personal experience, with AdSense and google ad you can earn but you need good traffic on your website. Everything is moved around by how much traffic or unique visitors are on your website.

This is going somewhat long, my point is starting a blog with any topic without considering the future means just writing. And if you only want to write and don't have a future plan or don't want to take it professionally, then you can do anything.

So find your topic, start thinking about the topic. So you can decide your blog name. The blog name is the identity of the blog.

But remember this with a free blogging site you will get your blog name like yourblogname.platformname.com.

For example, you would like to write about yourself, your learning, and your experience and you don't find good name then you can start with your name lets say your name is namely, and you are using blogger as a platform then your blog name or domain name is namely.blogspot.com 

Let's move to the next point.

2] Choose a blogging platform.

There are many free blogging platforms available online. Some free blogging sites are Blogger, WordPress, Weebly, Wix, Tumblr and many more.

These all are free website builders and blogging platforms. The main pros of this blogging site are they are free to use. You need not spend any money on your domain and hosting. 

Choose wisely, while choosing a free blogging platform keep some points in mind.

• The Platform should be easy to use.

• It must be user friendly

• It's good if platforms have their own audience.

• Simple, clean and useful design

• Keep in mind for future monetization

3] Select a Theme and design your blog.

Design plays an important role. When you choose a free blogging platform, some free themes are available. You can choose from them, but you need to work on designing and need to customize it, so it will look good. It is very easy to  change your site's look and feel with some good free themes.

So choose your platform as per your use and find a good free theme or customize it.

4] Write and Publish your first blog.

Now you are ready with your blog. The next step is to post your first blog post on a website. While writing a post always remember one thing, ask yourself what value you are adding to your audience. It will help you to write quality content. 

And second thing as a beginner don't think about perfection and quality content just start writing, sometimes quantity content can make a huge difference.

Always keep in mind, focus on giving knowledge and information, which can help others to solve their problem.

5] Promote your blog.

Now, we have published our first post and are planning for other posts, but as a beginner and at start you will not get traffic or visitors to your blog. And our concern here is to not spend money also.

So to promote your blog, start posting into your personal contact, group, friends, social media like facebook, twitter, linkedIn. And you can also use websites like Quora, Reddit and Medium to promote your blog.

Keep in mind if you post a lot of articles in a facebook group, the group might be banned or not approve your post so post wisely.

In the end, creating a successful blog totally depends on your hard work, your learning, consistency and patience. Always try to post blogs with valuable content and share it on social networks to get a good amount of traffic.

Hope this helps you to finalise and to start a blog. Please share and comment and if you have any suggestions please write to us.

Thank you.
