7 Steps of creating a blog
I am sure you must have understood the basic concept of blogging in the above paragraph. Now, If you are damn serious about creating a blog to make money online then you must be curious to know about the different steps that are required to create a new blog.
If you are a newbie then let me
tell you about the 7 easy steps that can help you to create your blog.
Step #1 Identify your blogging niche:
The first step that comes in is identifying your blogging niche. Before you begin to create a blog, you must be aware of your skills and abilities. You must understand and realize the niche that you want to create a blog about.
You do not know what is a niche?
Well, a niche in your area of expertise or interest. A niche is something you love to talk about or write about. Your niche can be your hobby or the subject that you know a lot about.
Education, for instance, is something that I like to talk about. It is not only my field of interest but also something that I am concerned with for the last several years. I love to discuss and know more about education.
Additionally, my family background also portrays a lot about education. Education has become part and parcel of my life. I am also a teacher by profession.
Many students also come to thank me for their success as they think I am the one behind their success. This is because I love to teach and guide others about their right path.
Due to these factors, education has become part and parcel of my life. Education has become the most interesting thing that Ib can not help talking about. Similarly, everyone is and must be free to choose their field of interest or expertise.
One must be capable enough to recognize one's inner self. If you are done with it, you would not have any difficulty while choosing your blogging niche.
In addition to that, if you are still unsure about choosing your niche, the best recommendation would be choosing at least three niches that you are interested in. You can select any three niches of your choice and just start writing about them in your blog.
Gradually, as time passes on, you would get to know your field of interest. Sometimes the solution to your problems exists in your future results of the struggle that you do at the present moment.
Once you identify your one specific niche, you can create another blog that may focus specifically on one thing that interests you more than others.
One great tip that I would say you should consider is choosing a micro niche for your blog. The competition is getting higher.
Therefore, to compete with the world with regards to blogging, choosing a micro niche for your blog would be a wise decision.
Step #2 Start writing immediately while making it sure that your content is unique and not plagiarized
First, your article must be copy-escaped. By this, I mean you should write original and 100% unique content. Google is too wise to identify any plagiarized content.
If your content is found to be plagiarized your blog would be de-ranked. To rank you higher on search engines you should always write quality articles for your blog.
The better quality content you have, the higher you have chances to rank on Google or other search engines Your reads want to read quality articles If they found quality in your articles they would not only read your articles but will also follow you to read the upcoming articles that you publish in your blog.
Try to make your content as simple for your audience as possible to let them read it completely. You must not use hard vocabulary. Make it understandable for your readers. Moreover, you can add some facts and figures to make your content more informative.
You as a writer should keep one thing in mind that a ‘good writer is a good reader’.
Therefore, you must read and research about the content that you are going to deliver for your audience. It is important because it makes your content more informative and full of knowledge that probably your readers want to read.
Good informative content would help your
readers solve their problems. Once you solve your readers' problems through
your articles, they would be following you with each article that you publish
in your blog site. You should keep providing quality content to grab the
attention of your readers.
Step #3 Put an eye-catching picture on your blog
Yes, you read it right. Your blog must have an eye-catching picture to attract everyone who visits your blog for the first time.
As it is said that 'The first impression is the last impression'. The first impression that you can create on your new visitors is by showing the picture of your blog that may grab their attention to your blog.
People see the picture before reading on your blog. Putting an eye-catching picture may have a good impression on your readers. Sometimes, the readers read the blog post only if the picture is attractive enough to grab their attention.
Hence, the importance
of using a picture in your blog post cannot be ignored.
Step #4 Use a video in your blog
Using a video in your blog can help engage more readers. This is true because people love watching videos.
Video tends to engage more audience in your blog. Sometimes, people are too lazy to read your content. At that moment, a video would be the best option to engage them to read your blog posts.
At the end of the day, the readers want to have the solution to their problems through your blog posts. If they do not want to read the articles, they might be interested to watch the video that you provide them in your blog post. If they found the solution to their problem through your video they would love to read your blog post as well.
However, your blog post must be filled with the best possible solutions that they are looking for. Your video must not belong. It should be short and brief enough to discuss the solution to your readers' problem.
Ultimately, a blog post is nothing but a solution to the
readers' problems. You must address the issue precisely along with its solution
through the video that you provide in your blog post.
Step #5 SEO-Friendly keywords
SEO-Friendly keywords are the keywords that are used in your blog to make your content searchable on different search engines.
As you create a blog you probably want the maximum number of people to read your blog posts regularly. For this purpose, the term SEO-Friendly keyword is used which means you can use different keywords that people are searching out in Google and other search engines.
The keywords that maximum people are searching out on Google and other search engines are known as SEO-friendly keywords.
You can
create your blog posts using those keywords. These keywords would help you to
reach maximum people and rank higher in the search engines. Your goal is to be
ranked higher on search engines. It can be possible if you create a blog post
keeping in view the SEO-Friendly keywords.
Step #6 WordPress or Blogger? Which is the best medium to create your blog?
Different mediums of creating a blog are available in the market. You can create a blog on WordPress or blogger.com.
Blogger.com is a free resource to create a blog.
However, the best medium that I recommend is WordPress. WordPress is a paid website. You would have to buy a domain and hosting if you want to create a blog on WordPress. If you search on Google you will come to know about various websites that offer different discounts on buying a domain and hosting.
There is no denying the fact that a good blog engages your
audience and encourages them to read your blog post until the end.
Step #7 Google AdSense: The best way to make money blogging
Blogging has some partner programs that help bloggers make money online. The best one of them is Google AdSense.
Through Google AdSense, you make money on blogging. People read your blog posts and they see different ads. When they click on the ads, Google AdSense makes money for you.
I would highly recommend monetizing your blog through a payment partnership program. It encourages you to write more to get more engagement and with the maximum engagement of readers, you make a good amount of money. It is as simple as that.
Additionally, you can have a good income from blogging if you have loyal followers.
Loyal followership is your key to become successful in the blogging business.
Apart from this, you can also make money by creating a product or service related to your blog. You can also sell e-books, offer a different course, and arrange events or seminars according to your blogging niche.
Moreover, you can make money by selling products and getting some commission
out of it. People sell different products that are available on Amazon or other
e-commerce stores on their blogs and get a commission when they are sold.
