When we
listen to blogging, the first thought that comes to our mind is Sourav Joshi
and Flying beast. But what they do is called vlogging not blogging. Well Vlog
is derived from the word Blog.
And
now that you know what a blog is, I will tell you a good news - if you have the
talent to write a blog, then you can earn a lot of money from this.
Anyway, from childhood till today, Our school teachers have made us write a lot (first write it in rough copy, then write it in fair copy and then make the homework also). So don't worry, you will be able to do this work easily.
Earlier when YouTube was not that famous, people could log their lifestyle and their thoughts by writing a blog on the internet and then uploading it to anyone who wants to read it. And very soon many things got included in blogging. And now whatever page you read on Google for entertainment, knowledge, fun or any other purpose is called Blog Post.
I will tell you today just how to do it.
How to start blogging as a Beginner

How to start blogging |
You can start blogging by following
these 5 steps:-
1. Choose the Best Blogging platform of your choice :-
The
best platform for a beginner is one whose user interface is simple and there is
not much difficulty in using it. Nowadays there are many platforms available.
Like WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Blogger, etc.
And if you want more new features and
powerful customization options then you can check out WordPress. Because after
blogger it's my first choice.
Now you have to see which one is right according to your use. If you are a beginner then my suggestion would be that you go with Blogger because:
- It is very easily accessible for newbies
- It’s set up is easy
- Free templates are also impressive
And I also personally use blogger because I can manage it from mobile also and most importantly it is free also. So if you are doing blogging for the first time then go with Blogger.
2. Choose the hosting platform :-
Hosting
platforms are third-party companies that manage your website from the backend.
For this work they also charge you some fee, that is why all this gets paid.
But
if you use blogger then you will not need any hosting website because they manage
your website for free. That's why I suggested you to use this in the beginning.
By the way, if you need a host then you can consider these platforms :
- Bluehost
- Hostinger
- GoDaddy
- HostGator
3. Decide your niche :-
Blogging niche is that particular topic or subject area on which the blogger mainly focuses. They write articles related to that. You can earn money by writing blogs around the following topics:
- Travel
- Finance
- Food and Cooking
- Health and Welness
- Paarenting
- Entertainment
- Lifestyle blog
4. Select your domain name :-
Your domain name should be unique. And
also represent your content as well. For example, my website's domain is
Jaaduiart.blogspot.com
If you use paid platforms then .blogspot will be removed.
Instead of .com you can also use .in.
But I would suggest that you should use .com only, it is the most established
and credible domain name.
5. Design the website well :-
After opening the website, there are some important pages which you have to add:
- About Us
- Privacy Policy
- Terms and Conditions
- Disclaimer
You can also link your various social media accounts with your website.
6. Write your first blog after doing research :-
Now your website is completely ready. Now the time has come to bring out the talent hidden within you.
You should
decide any topic according to your niche. As I have thought of this topic for
this blog- What is Blogging and How to start it or How to make money from it.
It is possible that you do not know
much about that topic. Then you can take help of Google to do research
regarding your content. You can read someone else's blog too. And then you can
write it in your own style.
7. Write many such SEO optimized blogs :-
It is possible that you may not get any views on your first blog or even on the second one. But if you write 10-20 SEO Optimized blogs, traffic will start coming to your website.
But keep one thing in mind, people are
also searching for the thing on which you are writing a blog. You have to make
writing a blog a part of your life. Keep researching regular trending topics.
And now its all set up.
8. And now get ready to earn money :-
Yes, I know that millions of dollars will not start coming from the beginning. But this will be started as your side income. As you become an expert in this, you will not even know how it became your main source of income.
After that you can write blogs for big
websites like IndiTales and TechCrunch India. And if you become professional in
this work, then you can also do a full-time job in any company as a content
writer.
Remember-
“ The more you Learn,
The more you Earn. ”
Q. In the world of Video platforms, Do people really read blogs anymore?
Yes, according to a recent survey about 60% internet
users still read blogs. And in such a big world this is a very big number.
People may like videos for their visual impacts and storytelling power. But if you need information quickly, the video may make you feel frustrated. Reading speed is always faster than speaking speed.
