BLOGGING GUIDE FOR
BEGINNERS
You are in for a lot of fun if you
are like so many other people who have got the blogging bug! The reasons
people start their own blogs are varied. Some just want to be able to share
their life and photographs with family and friends far away, others like
sharing their knowledge about one of their hobbies and many are keen on starting
a business blog to make money.
It does not matter what your reason
for starting a blog is, but you are going to want to start off on the right
foot and get some great blogging advice and that is where this article
can help.
Blogging is not difficult to learn
in fact many people can easily learn all they need to know in a few
hours. As you begin your online blogging adventure here are some key
points to keep in mind:
1. It is possible to start
your own blog for free. WordPress.com and Blogger.com are two of the most
popular blogging platforms that will host your blog for you for no
charge. With the free versions you will still have access to a huge
variety of different designs or themes that you can use for your blog. There
are also many free plug-ins and widgets that will allow you to do many
different things with your blog.
2. There are two major
considerations that the topic of your blog should be based on: your hobby or
passion and whether or not you want to use your blog to start an online
business. These two things will overlap sometimes. For example your
business blog can be about something you are passionate about. In some
instances you won’t be able to make money with your hobby simply because there
just aren’t enough other people who love that topic enough to pay for products
related to it.
3. Especially when starting a business blog you will want people to return frequently to read your new
posts. To keep them coming back you will want to make sure that your
posts and the other information on your blog relate to the topic of your
blog. Say your blog is about trout fishing you really don’t want to start
going off on tangents about all kinds of other topics. It is okay to stray a
little bit occasionally, but the bottom line is that the readers of your blog
joined because they were interested in trout fishing so give them what they
want.
4. You should seriously think
about buying your own domain name and get your own hosting account
if you are considering starting a business blog to make
money. If this sounds foreign to you don’t worry as it is easy and
inexpensive enough. This is important because if you stick with the free
versions you don’t actually own anything, not the name of your blog or that
little piece of internet real estate your blog sits on. That is not a
good way to structure your business. It is best to buy your domain name and get
your blog hosted and you will own it and you can decide what you want to do
with it.
Hopefully this blogging advice
has helped you. You should have fun with your blog and it is a great way
to express yourself so make the most out of it. The Affiliate Power Group can help you if you need help with starting a business blog
