8 Easy Ways to Start Blogging Today

Find Your Niche 

When you decide to get into blogging, all the sites tell you to pick a niche and stick to it. 

I believe you do need an initial niche to get going but unless you already know what you want to write your blog about you will have a hard time picking just one. 

Rather I suggest if you are unsure what to get started with at first that you make a list of several possible ideas and pick the top 3. Start a blog for each one. This will allow you to get some of your thoughts out about the subjects you've chosen while allowing yourself time to see which subject is easiest and most rewarding for you to write about.

Pick your Host

I suggest either wordpress.com or blogger to get started if you don't know what your going to do yet with your new business. These free sites will allow you to learn the basics and discover what does and does not work for your chosen subjects. Both allow you to make several sites under the same login and are easy to learn the functions of.

It is important to know that you will eventually want to host your account with a service. When you are ready for this step you want to be sure to do your research. You don't want to choose a blogging platform and find out you would have rather used a different host.

Sign Up For Canva

Sign up for the website canva to make your own beautiful images to add into your posts. Psst. The image above was created at canva.com

Write Relevant Posts 

Be sure to write posts about whatever your site is about. For example if your chosen niche is about pets you don't want to write a post about the change in the housing market unless you are specifically writing it about how the change affects pets through their owners.

Create a Business Logo

Again this can be done on Canva. Don't worry you can always update this later.

Include #'s in Your Titles

It has been shown that posts with numbers get more pins and retweets. Think about the pins in your personal boards. Look at some other peoples boards and research what they are pinning.

This is important to continuing  to grow your reach.

Create Business Pages

Start a business account on Pinterest, and a page on Facebook. Research and sign up for a few Affiliate sites. Be sure to look up the requirements. For example, how long does your blog have to be active, do you need a specific number of views to qualify or do you need a certain number of post on your blog.

Post to Social Media
