Beginners Guide To Blogging

By Katie Anderson

How Do I Start Blogging?
Blogs are one of the hottest things online today. So many people seem to be doing it and loving it. And, even better, making money from it. There is a good chance that you have thought of putting together a blog of your own. If so, you have no doubt asked yourself, "How do I start blogging?"
To those who have never done anything like starting a blog before, it can probably seem like a mysterious and complicated process. But starting a blog is actually much easier than you think. In fact, one of the common comments from new bloggers is, "I can't believe how easy it was."
Here are a few tips that will help you get your blog up and running.
Choose Your Topic or Niche
The first step is to choose your topic. Ask yourself what you want to write about?
The great thing about blogs is that you can write about things you care about and are interested in, and still make money from it. So think about your hobbies and interests. What are the things you like to do? What are the things you are interested in? What are the things you like learning more about? Many of the possibilities on your list would make great topics for your first blog.
Choose Your Platform
One of the most important questions a blogger has to ask themselves is whether they should use a third party blog host, or maintain their blog on their own web host.
If you are new to blogging, you will probably want to use a free, third-party host like Blogger to start out with. With that service, all you have to do is sign up and start posting.
You can also choose to maintain your blog on your own web host. In that case, you can use WordPress, which is free and easy to install. In fact, with most web hosts, you can install it in just a few clicks, and have your blog up and running in less than ten minutes.
Post Daily
When you first start your blog, try to post in it daily for at least a week.
There are two good reasons for this. First, it will give you a good head start, and help to fill up your currently empty site with good content. And, secondly, posting frequently will help you quickly get comfortable with the process of writing posts, and using the blogging software.
If you have been asking yourself, "How do I start blogging?" these are the three easy steps you should follow. As simple as that, you can have your blog up and running. And, once you get your first one off the ground, your second, and third, and fourth will be even easier.
