If you are looking for an easy, hassle free tutorial to start your own blog then you have found the right site. This is one of the simplest guides you will find online because we know what it is like to be a beginner. If there was a site like this when I was starting, thing could have been a whole lot easier. I have made this step by step guide as simple as possible
STEP 1
Think What You Are Going To Blog About
Before you start blogging, I want you to think about the things you like. Is there anything you actually enjoy or are really passionate about? If yes, then start blogging about it. When I started my first blog, I was really interested in smartphones, so I picked that topic. It’s much easier to write articles and posts about something that you’re interested in.
It’s even better when you have been interested in a specific field or an industry for a long time, that makes you literally an expert. Don’t start a blog about something you have no interest in – it makes no sense. However, if you are passionate about something – such as sports cars, then just blog about them! Of course, if you don’t have any idea or niche you want to write about, start blogging about your daily activities, memorable moments or simply about yourself.
Here are some of the most popular blogging topics in 2013:
Entertainment – It can either be something funny or just informative about latest movies, popular celebrities, television shows and/or music.
Making Money – Every one in this world is fond of money and they want to make money through simple ways so if you have the knowledge of how to make money online? then go ahead with blogs with content describing the ways of making money online.
Internet – Now-a-days Internet is the most interested and trending thing across the globe.So start a blog about Internet related content most suitable content is providing downloadable Software and Software Reviews
STEP 2
Decide – Personal Domain or Not
Before you go on and start your blog, you need to know whether you want your own domain name or not. Keep in mind that domains will most likely cost about $6 – $10 a year. In addition, you will need a hosting that costs about $4 – $7 a month. If you don’t have the money, then start with free blogging platforms like blogger.com or wordpress.com. or Wordpress.org With these platforms you can not set your own address and your blog will be accessible from yourblog.blogspot.com or yourblog.wordpress.com.There are many other platforms but the above listed are the most used and best platforms.
Note:The difference between choosing a personal domain and routing through a sub-domain is making more money and making less money
If you have decided to spend money and have a long term plan of earning money online or growing your business then Choosing your own domain is the best option
STEP 3
