One of the most important things in blogging is you have to be creative and continuous and should also have patience because blogging not going to make money for you overnight after an interval of time and hard labor. It will definitely be going to make money for you.  You can use advertisements or different blog monetization techniques to earn from your blogs.

You should always possess an attitude to learn if you are learning then your mistakes will also give you a lesson.

Blogging platform

If you are a beginner and going to start blogging the very first time. You can get a free blog platform like Blogspot to start your blogging. It is the best platform to start your blogs for beginners. If you are thinking for the long term then there are various platforms available such as WordPress.

But in my opinion, first of all, you should start with Google Blogspot. Because it is the easiest and simplest platform where you can start blogging without having any technical knowledge also. At least you will be able to learn many basics of blogging on google blogger.

After getting more knowledge about blogging with the help of professionals you should create a unique blogging website on the WordPress platform. You can also create a WordPress website on your own if you are having some technical skills. It’s not very tough work.

Related Post
  • Do you have knowledge of that particular niche?
  • Do you have an interest in that particular niche?
  • Is this topic will be proper for you in the long run.

After getting the answer to these three questions you can surely decide your niche.

You should never mix the topics such as if your niche is about automobiles then you should write about “automobiles”, “production of automobiles”, and “ upcoming technology of automobiles”. If your niche is about health then you should completely stick to your niche. Your all articles and content should move around your niche. Many people do this mistake and mix their topics making them lost very soon.

We always make mistakes by choosing some popular niche that is popular on search engines. But I suggest you go with your own interest. The field in which you have an interest you should start blogging in that particular field only. Because that will be the only thing you can create with your heart and it will be perfect. If possible select a niche about your hobbies to start a blog. Because if you do the work in which you have an interest you will not get disappointed. if you do not get money at an earlier stage and you can continue doing the work of your interest.  To get detail about “how to choose your perfect blogging niche”  I will discuss in my other article.

You can get a branded domain name by making the expense of a few amount of money of $2 to $10. Branded domain be like “yourname.com” or “yourname.org” that will enhance your SEO always choose a domain that revolves around the blog’s niche you have decided. Don’t make any funky domain name as beginners generally do. You should have an appropriate domain name that is catchy and attractive and simply define your niche. After reading your domain name anyone should understand what will be inside.

Now if you have made up your mind to spend some amount of money on your blogging then I will suggest you go with WordPress blogs. After that, you will require hosting.  We need hosting to host our files it plays an important role in blogging. There are various hosting services providers are available but choosing a good host will help you get good support and good uptime.
