I am doing blogging for about three months. When I posted my first ever blog post: My idea and intention were very clear what will be my blog is about!
Many people asked me, How did you start a blog. They told me that they wanted to start a blog. However, they have no idea where to start and what to do first.
First of all, I want to say Congratulation if you have decided to start your blog. This decision could potentially change your life for the better. If you are a beginner and looking for a simple step-by-step guide on how to start a blog, you are definitely in the right place!
How to start a blog in simple steps
Follow these step-by-step instructions you should have your blog started in no time at all.
- Decide your blog niche.
- Pick Blog name.
- Choose a blogging platform.
- Hosting plan
- Design the blog
Let's dive in!
Decide your blog niche
Starting a blog is a good idea. However, what are you going to blog about? What are you good at? What are you passionate about?
Here are a few examples of different blog niches:
- Art
- Beauty/Hair/Makeup/Skincare
- DIY
- Educational
- Fashion
- Fitness
- Healthy Eating/Nutrition
- Home Decor
- Home Improvement
- Mental Health/Chronic Illness
- Parenting
- Recipes
- Relationships/Marriage/Dating
- Sewing/Knitting
- Travel
- Therapy
There are many successful bloggers out there who blog about anything and everything, but as a beginner, I think it’s best to narrow down your niche.
Pick Blog name
One of my favourite part of starting a new blog is finding an amazing name for it. My blog domain is kingdomprincy, and Blog name is Kingdom.
Why I choose the Kingdom? The answer is simple. My name meaning is the King, and this is my place to rule. I can do anything here.
Try not to come up with something too long; your blog name should be two words long maximum, easy to spell, and it should remind your audience of your blog niche.
Choose a Blogging Platform
Now, the technical part. Don't worry, there are many platforms to create a blog for free, and you don't have to be master in HTML for it.
Here are some few free platforms :
- Wix
- Joomla
- Yola
- Hubpages
- Contentful
- Jekyll
- WordPress
- Blogger
- Tumbler
- Medium
Hosting plan
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page onto the Internet.
Every website needs hosting. I did a lot of research on the different hosting companies, observed what successful blogger’s choices were. And I found Bluehost the most recommended by the successful bloggers.
Design the blog
Now comes the fun part where you begin to build your blog.
You never get a second chance to make a great first impression.
The most important step is to choose a theme. It should be uncomplicated. Attractive to the audience.
I used Blogger then I will suggest you my favourites theme are:
Notable and Soho.
Final Thoughts
- Success did not come in a single day. So, stop expecting and start blogging now.
- You do not have to be an expert writer for blogging. (It is just a myth!)
- Do not post daily. Schedule your post twice a week or thrice. Let your the audience know about the scheduling.
- Get inspired
- Be creative and be yourself.
