Blogging For Beginners

Everybody blogs and you wanted to create your own blog, probably this idea attracts you too, but you don`t know how to start. It`s simple,image your upcoming blog as your personal diary or agenda, you will type down everything that you consider relevant for your potential readers. If the experiment proves to be disappointing, it won`t hurt very much, probably some negative commentaries received as feedback.

You have an idea for a blog, but you aren`t very confident it`s great. Personally, I encourage every creative attempt, we are so unique in every single way that it`s impossible to find a blog resembling 100% with another one. Currently, the blogosphere reached more than 150 millions of online creations, each day being creating at least 10 new blogs, so you can imagine the fierce fight you have to face, in order to be original in this ocean of information. Though, it feels overwhelming, don`t get discouraged, even Huffington Post started as a blog and became an influential media actor, you have to believe in your idea and find ways to improve it.

Before starting your journey as a blogger, it`s essential to choose a niche to develop your blog, a particular area where you can write based on your passion or expertise.

 Naturally, you can write about anything on this world, but readers are so exigent nowadays, they won`t read any sketches or opinions without arguments. You have to stir their interest with fresh, unique (copy-paste is always detected and rejected) topics, according to your performance. For instance, if you are passionate by pottery, create a blog on this issue, I can guarantee not many people know to use the potter`s wheel and the objects created can be easily promoted through an online store, that you can create exactly on your blog. A blog is fashionable and most of the times generates money in this way or through the host`s advertising mechanism.

Speaking about the host, I would recommend you to start a blog on a free platform. If things develop in a positive way, you can always purchase a domain name or extend the subscription you already have. As a former user of Blogger and Wordpress, I would gladly recommend them for the beginning. Both are intuitive, multimedia-enhanced, but somehow Wordpress offers you more cohesion while designing and posting on your blog.

The two major, yet rival platforms are followed by Blog.com, promoting attractive themes and advanced plugins, as well as an impressive amount of ads to be displayed, that might annoy you.

TypePad Micro is another free platform for blogging, providing you connection with other platforms, so you can easily export your entire blog.

Jux is a visual improved platform, similar to Pinterest, so if you wish to proudly display your media contents, it`s your perfect choice. Idea for photographers or particular business, such as wedding planning.

Last, but not least, Tumblr will amaze you with each customizable themes, audio blogging feature or the synchronization to social networks.

Once you have chosen your niche and host, have fun in blogging!
