I guess you want to start a Blog huh, Great Idea!
Just before you do that I want to let you know how can you do it excellently. I have some keys for you to unlock the gate of success in the world of blogging.
Niche
Writing is a huge thing and blogging is a big part of it. So, before you start just make sure you pick a category to write about and then work on it. I will suggest you that don’t go generally if you are new it can make things hard for you.
Name
As you start a blog the first thing you have to think about is a name for your blog. Picking and name is all your choice but make sure that you don’t pick a name that is already owned by someone.
You can pick a name related to your blog niche. Also, you can use name generators if you want.
Domain & Hosting
First setting up your blog is getting a Domain & Hosting, you can choose any company you want. Look for a plan that you find perfect for yourself.
Software Selection
Software selection is an important point while starting a blog, you need to know which company you will love to host you.
I’ve some tips for you to look at before you pick one for yourself.
- Features
Your blog will need a lot more tools once you’ve started writing. You also might need to modify your website, you need a service that can accommodate you.
- Beginner Friendly
You need an easy blogging platform, if you choose a host that is way too advanced you might lose all your attention from writing to the website.
- Costs
After you are done with this, the next thing you have to look for is your budget. Pick the plan that you easily take. I will suggest that you don’t need to invest a lot of money. Pick a beginner plan first, understand your needs, and then go for bigger.
- Help/Maintenance
You need a team that can look for a person/team who can maintain your blog and protect it from hackers.
- Monetization
Once you’re doing well with writing a blog you might need to earn from it to carry on more. So, make sure the service you pick supports Google Adsense or any other Ad network.
Design your Blog/ Theme selection
Blog design is one of those things that mostly no one cares about. But I would say it matters the same way your writing does. So, I will suggest you look for a web designer or else you can do it too. Try to build a blog theme that relates to your blogging niche it will help you attract a lot of readers.
Prepare a schedule of Writing, Editing & Uploading
You schedule up your self-writing, I know writing is a thing that comes to your soul when it wants to. What I am saying is that you need to put yourself into your writing zone and you need to know how to put yourself in it.
And then once you’re done with it you need to figure out how much time you need to edit your articles and upload them the way they should be. You can even look a someone professional, he might help you a lot.
Setting up Social Media
Social Media is a giant tool to grow your blog. I would suggest you post about your blog there too. I will surely help increase your blog audience.
You can “Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or Tumblr” any of these or any other you want.
Post about every new article there and you can even say people review it. You can DM them about your blog, it kinda sounds weird but it works.
Staying in touch with your Audience
Mostly people build a good audience early and then they lose all of it, just because they might not reply to the question or compliment from their readers. I would say you always pay attention to your readers in your early days. They are the ones who will help you build your own world.
That’s all for today, Let me know in the comments if you like it. Or if you have any questions just comment then don’t and we will respond to you as early as we can.
