So you want to start a blog and you don't know what to do and where to start with?
You ended up at a right place. Today I will cover all the essentials needed to start a blog.
Blogging is done by different people for different reasons. Some do it to share their knowledge, some do it to gain reputation in the online society, some do it to make money and some do it for fun!
If you want to start a blog, the first and the foremost thing you need is some online space or hosting to host a blog.
Online hosting for blogs is now a days provided as a free service by some of the companies like Wordpress and Blogger. Although there are some limitations but these are enough for you to at least get started with blogging.
I compare blogging to a painting exhibition where people come to see paintings but also end up seeing the ads that are placed near and beside the paintings and hence make money out of that. In blogging you rent some space(hosting which can be free or paid) and host your content (blog posts) which is read by people who also end up watching ads that appear beside your blog.
In this post I will specifically focus on Blogger. Blogger can be a great start just because it belongs to Google and not to forget that Google search belongs to Google too. If you start with Blogger you will end up getting attention at least by Google search if not by other search engines.
After you log in to your Google account and open https://www.blogger.com you get an option to create a new blog.
Click that option and fill up the details like the name of the blog, appearance of the blog etc.
Finally click "New Post" to write a new blog post. Make sure to add an appealing (not misleading) heading to your blog post. Publish it and repeat.
I am pretty sure that you will end up getting thousands of viewers if you write awesome posts sharing your valuable knowledge with the entire world.
The biggest mistake most of the bloggers do is that they think too much without starting writing anything. My advise to such people is to create a new blog now and write at least 20 posts before worrying too much about the number of posts and/or the revenue they have made last day or last week out of their blog which is at an early stage of infancy.
Good luck and if you have any question, feel free to drop a comment below. I'd love to answer your queries.
