Steps to start blogging

Here are seven easy steps to follow that will assist you to start your blog with ease. These are the most important things when it comes to starting a blog that you need to keep in mind. If you know these things, you can create a blog in less than 30 minutes. These steps are:

Step 1: Select a perfect niche(Topic) for your blog

To become a profitable blogger, you must first find your niche and discover who your ideal readers are. In short, a niche is a topic that you write about most often, or even exclusively in your blogs. Niche blogging is creating a blog to advertise a very specific market. Niche blogs are easy to monetize and they usually contain affiliate links, advertisements, etc and that's mostly how they become profitable.

To become a profitable blogger you have to choose the right niche and work on achieving the highest level of knowledge of that topic. By selecting the niche of interest and having your own point of opinion you'll be able to distinguish your personal blog from the competition.

Step 2: Choose a blogging platform

When it comes to blogging platforms you have the following options- free and self-hosted.

Free platforms

For many new bloggers, the availability of free tools such as Blogger or Tumblr is tempting. Of course, there is one big advantage, that it is free. By keeping your blog on a free platform, you let the platform own your name. You'll be subject to their rules and restrictions.

Self-hosted platforms

Self-hosted platforms allow you to run a blog using your own domain. Aside from following your domain registrar and web hosting company's rules, you're fully in charge of your blog and its contents. You have a number of choices when it comes to self-hosted systems (also called a Content Management System or CMS). The most common is Wordpress.org

Step 3: Pick a domain name

Your domain name will be the name by which you will be recognized online, no matter what niche you choose. It's your special address on the Internet. Users who know your domain/URL (uniform resource locator) can simply search it into their browser's address bar. Others will be able to find you through search engines such as Google and Bing, so you definitely need to find a unique domain name.

There are a number of websites which will provide free or paid domain names. The most popular is GoDaddy.com.Generally the cost of a dot com domain ranges between INR 700 to 1500 per month. You can go with other cheaper extensions for example "dot net" or "dot me."

Step 4: Get a web hosting account

After selecting a domain name, selecting reliable hosting services will be one of the most important decisions you make. The host makes sure your site is available 24/7 to potential readers and it's where your files are stored online.

Most hosting companies also offer domain registration services. I suggest keeping it all under your hosting account for hassle-free management and maintenance.

Some of the best providers are Bluehost, Hostinger etc.

Step 5: Starting a blog on WordPress

Now we are all set to start creating our blog on WordPress. We have to follow these steps to create our first blog

Step 1: Visit the Bluehost(Web hosting site) Then click the “Get Started Now” button.

Step 2: Select your blog's hosting plan

You should start by selecting your plan. If this is your very first one, you should go with the basic one at least until you explore your options.

Step 3: Input your blog's domain name

Just type in the desired domain in this “new domain” box and BlueHost will show you whether it's available or not. If not, it will provide you with a list of similar names for you to choose from.

Step 4: Register for         Bluehost

After you pick out your domain name just fill in the required details and you are all set.

 Step 6: Launch your WordPress blogpost with Bluehost

Congratulations, we are almost there! Once you have your domain name and web hosting connected, it’s time to set up WordPress. Go to your Bluehost cPanel account, find the ‘My Sites’ section and click Install WordPress.

Once this is done, go back to the cPanel and hit Launch.

Step 6: Find the right theme (blog design)

Prefer a theme that looks great, but also works for your special content needs. The default theme that comes with your WordPress blog installed is Twenty Nineteen— while it’s a good starter theme, you’ll want to choose a theme that is unique and compatible with your niche. 

After choosing a theme of your choice, you are now ready to log in to the WordPress dashboard.

Once you login to your WordPress dashboard, you will be prompted with the “Welcome” message.

You can choose to accept the type of website you are about to create. 

Click the “Launch” button and you’ll be seen online within seconds. After clicking the “Launch” button, you will just need to fill the two most important fields for your site. The title and description, which will tell your future visitors what is your site all about.

Congratulations, you just understood how to create a blog. Your new blog is available to launch, so get ready to learn how to blog!

Step 7: Write content and promote your blog

To produce quality content, you will have to use your originality and imagination. However, you have to believe that some content performs better than others. But again, you should start creating content that you feel comfortable with, right for your readers, and for your blog.

The success of your blog promotion will depend on the capacity to engage in your niche. The more you promote your blog, the more chances of getting the desired results. Don't feel ashamed in sharing your blog among friends, family and relatives.

It only takes a minute, and it will help to get your blog indexed. To submit your blog URL to Google, sign in to your Google Account and go to the Submit URL option in Webmaster Tools. For extra credit, submit your site to Bing.
