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.

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
Posting to Social Media
site such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram are a must to gain a
following at the beginning. This will allow you to learn the basics quickly and
see what works for you. Be sure to include pictures with each post so you get
the most clicks out of your views.
