So you have decided to start blogging, that’s a very nice decision if you are really passionate about writing articles, sharing cool stuff and got enough skills about particular topic. Yeah particular one, making blog for everything won’t be good if you want to earn some bucks from your blog. Some people blog for fun or as their interest where others do it for money. If you aren’t interested in making big money with your blog, then you shouldn’t invest much dollars on your blog.
Get Started!
Getting started with blogging is really easy. There are basically two famous blogging platforms that are either Blogger or WordPress. I personally suggest you to go with WordPress if you have a good budget. WordPress software is free and open source as there’ll be need for investment in hosting though. Where google provides hosting for free. WordPress comes with more features, themes and plugins as compared to blogger. So It’s your choice 1. Blogger or 2. WordPress. After getting started with any of above blogging platforms, you are ready to share articles. Just get to the admin panel and it’s easy like a piece of cake.
Expand Your Network
If you’re thinking about earning from your blog, then you should concentrate on your blog content instead of traffic. If you’ve a good budget to promote your articles you should buy Adwords or any other ad credits. Doing white SEO is a great way to promote your blog SMO is also a great way if you got a really strong network over social media. As a blogger, posting article isn’t everything as nobody will watch it until you share your post. That’s why we do SEO & SMO. Uploading videos is another good way to promote your blog. Watch your readers comment and response to them in a video, upload it to YouTube and see the magic! You can keep track of your blog ranking by using Alexa or google PR extensions.
Make It Look Cool & Professional
The styling of your blog directly puts either positive or negative effect on your reader. Your blog should be neat and clean in order to look professional. All you need to do is, make a good navigation menu which helps your reader to roll around your blog. WordPress or Blogger both provide great themes and layouts which can help you to make it perfect ease. The logo is another thing by which your blog will be known. You can make it yourself or buy from other graphic designers. Beginners do it for free as they want to for their portfolio.
Focus
Focus, focus and focus! All you need is to focus and keep motivating yourself for blogging. It isn’t a big task for those who love to write regularly for fun or that is their interest. This problem arises when someone just post articles to earn from their blogs. So it isn’t necessary to post everyday regularly as quality is more needed than quantity. But make sure you do post once in three days and try to promote your blog every day, every time. Joining high PR forums is a great way to get quality traffic as they will also help you in the improvement of your blog.
Now you are already starting with your blog, so keep it simple and good and everything is good. Good luck!
