So you’d like to write a blog…but you’re not sure where to start or how to get started. Well, the good news is that it’s not very complicated. Read our handy guide and find out how to get blogging today.
You can get started with your blog by following these steps:
Step 1: Choose the subject you’d like to blog about. Don’t think too broadly here – it’s best to focus on a niche or a specialty, rather than a very wide topic. Also, it’s a good idea to blog about something you are passionate about or that excites you. Hopefully, your enthusiasm will shine through in your content.
Step 2: Choose a domain name. This is essentially the title for your blog, so make it something that’s easy to remember and easy to spell. It’s always a good idea to include a keyword in the domain name if you can. And try to use a domain name that ends in ‘dot com’ if possible. You can purchase a domain name from several sites, including NameCheap and GoDaddy.
Step 3: Choose a blogging platform. There are a variety of different blogging platforms you can use to create your blog, some of which are free. Free platforms, such as WordPress.com, are a great choice for beginners. However, if you choose a free platform, ads will be run on your site and you never actually have full ownership of it. On the positive side, you won’t have to purchase a domain name or hosting. For a business, choosing a paid platform in which you host your own blog is recommended: WordPress.org is one of the most popular. Other platforms to consider include Squarespace, Wix, and Joomla.
Step 4: Choose your blog host and theme. A blog host is a company that provides space on its servers, for a fee, to store your blog. There are many to choose from. When choosing a host, as well as considering cost, consider whether it offers reliable service and enough server space. When you have chosen a host, you can put your blog up online and install a theme. A theme is a template that can enhance the look and feel of your blog. You can access a free theme or purchase one. You can also install plugins to improve functionality.
Step 5: Create your content. The final step is to create your content. Remember, the more you blog, the better you will get at it. So now it’s time to start writing.
