Blogging is a great avenue to spread news and share your passions. Also, it is one of the legitimate ways to make money from the comforts of your own home. You might get confused with all the information out there on the internet, so here is a guide to help you get started.
Here are the simple steps to help you start your own blog
1. Research for writing tips
Before you can become a freelance blogger, you need to research on how to write great blog posts. There are free tutorials online to help you get started.
2. Find your niche
Identify what are your passions or interests and pick one that you find most engaging, and will also pique the interest of your readers.
3. Build a good platform
You need a good platform where your readers can check you out. For beginners, there are free blogs (Blogger, Wix, and Wordpress), but remember, there is a downside in using free blogs like you cannot completely monetize it and the features are very limited. So, I suggest if you want to take blogging seriously, you need to have your own website.
4. Design your blog or website
Dress up your blog or website based on your personality or the services you offer. Just make sure to test out your theme. It needs to have a fast loading time, both on laptop and mobile phone, and make sure that all your widgets are working fine.
5. Write relevant posts
It is vital to write relevant posts on your blog or website to attract readers and potential clients. Choose the right keywords (Use keywordtool.io and Google Keyword Planner) and produce fresh content consistently.
6. Join Blogging Communities
Share your blog or website with different blogging communities, and learn from the experts.
7. Do a Site Analysis
Use SEO Quake to do a site analysis of your blog or website. By doing this, you will know how to optimize your website and make it better.
8. Submit your blog or website to different search engines
Build an online presence. Submit your blog or website to different search engines. It will help drive traffic to your website.
Starting your own blog is just a walk in the park. Do not forget to create a content plan for your blog or website and build an online presence. Write fresh and relevant posts regularly, and use the right keywords on your title, url, text, page and image.
