Dear Readers

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.
