A simple, step-by-step guide for starting a blog in less than 20 minutes. Updated 4th of May, 2015.
I know, I know… starting a blog can be confusing. When I started my first blog over five years ago, didn’t know a THING about blogs or blogging.
I kept looking through Google for help, but all the guides I found were too technical and difficult to follow.
That’s why I wrote this guide. I’ve now managed over 20 different blogs, some with over 200,000 visitors, and I wanted to help beginners (like I used to be) do the same by giving them a super easy guide that I wish I had when I started.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to start a blog, including:
- Finding a blog topic (in case you don’t have one yet)
- Setting up a blog on your own custom domain name (like yoursite.com)
- Choosing a blog layout/theme (with a design you actually love…)
- Getting more visitors and couple of ways to monetize your blog
One last thing…
If you EVER get stuck while learning how to start a blog – I’m here to help you. I won’t be able to set up a blog for you, but I can do my best to answer your blogging related questions.
Just drop me a line if you hit a snag.
If you are still hesitating, I suggest you read my article titled “Reasons why you should start your own blog.”
STEP ONE: Choose a Blog Topic
What should I write about?
To help figure this out, ask yourself a few questions:
1. Why am I blogging?
What’s your goal – making money? Showcasing your expertise? Sharing your life experience? Whatever you write about should line up with that goal.
When I start my first blog, I just wanted to write about smartphones and tech gadgets and maybe make a few bucks along the way, so I started there
