How To Start A Blog The Easy Way

By Amanda Hughes


Many people advertise their services, telling you that they will set up a blog and make a lot of money out of it. However, you can learn how to start a blog on your own without employing the services of anyone else. It is an easy process. It may be frustrating at first, but once you get going with a tutorial, you will find that it definitely worth it.

People begin blogging for personal reasons to keep in contact with friends and family while they are traveling. Other travelers make money while they are blogging. People take up this as a part time job and find that it is so successful that it begins to take over their day job. However, there are no get rich quick schemes here, so one shouldn't be fooled.

However, many people just want to set up a blog for personal reasons. It could be for a portfolio or a resume. It is a great way of communicating or keeping in touch with people with other people. Everything is in one place so you don't have to turn to social media. This is a good idea when you are travelling.

Most people who have a successful blog did not know anything about setting up the domain and the website. However, you have to start somewhere. You will find that it is easier than you think, especially these days where there are so many tools available to achieve the most.

When you decide on a name, remember that the search engines need to be able to find, so if you intend making money from it, then it should have a good keyword associated with it. This is very helpful. There are people who succeed, using their name, but if you want to move to the top quickly then the keyword will work better.

WordPress is the answer when you are setting up your blog. There is a large community of members that you can turn to. There are YouTube videos available which tell you more about various aspects which you may be struggling with. It is easy to make this unique according to what you are blogging about.

Once you have WordPress installed, you need to install a theme, and this will depend on the blog. If you are a lawyer and you are blogging about your business, the theme is going to look more formal to a person who is blogging about cooking or adventure. There are plugins to install, such as social media links and the way in which you want to post.

Some people spend too much time on the layout and the appearance of the blog. It is more important to get going with the content. Remember that the quality of the content is very important. You can always come back and concentrate on the appearance. The most important thing about the appearance is to make sure that the user can navigate their around.
