No matter what your reason the process of creating a blog is fairly simple. In today’s technological age just about anyone that has the ability to write, and operate a computer can create a blog. The first thing to consider before creating your blog is why you’re creating it. What is the purpose of your blog? This is very important and must be dealt with first because it will dictate what type of platform you use, and how involved you will need to get in things like Search Engine Optimization. For example if you are using a blog to generate a passive income then the process is going to be a bit more complicated than if you were creating one just to share your thoughts. Also if you are using a blog to advertise a website or business the process is going to be different then the two mentioned above. Either way once you have specifically laid out the plan for your blog and have some goals in mind considers the following:
Creating a blog for personal use or to share with friends and family:
To create a blog for this purpose you should go to Blogger.com and create an account with them. This site is free and easy to use it will allow you to post your ideas and thoughts with little effort. Basically all you have to do with this site is pick a pre designed template and write till your heart is content. Then give the people you wish to share it with the URL.
Creating a blog to advertise your business or to make an extra income
Like I stated above this process is a little bit more involved. To begin start writing, before you sign up for an account with a blogging platform you should have quite a bit of material already written. This is because blogs that have a lot of content look more professional than those with very little content. Also the more content you have the better chance you will have of getting a high page rank in search engines like google. Please note her e that you will need to write content that relates directly to your business if using your blog to advertise your business so that the readers of your blog will be more likely to visit your company website. If you are writing a blog to generate an extra income you will need to write content that is optimized with high paying keywords. Do some research on keyword optimization!
Next choose a blogging platform, you can use a free platform like blogger if you wish but you may want to check out some of the more professional platforms. Either way you will want to create an account with your blogging platform and chose a professional looking design. Once you have your site set up it is time to add your content, and like I stated above by this point you should have quite a bit of content to add.
Now it is time to advertise this is going to be an ongoing process and it usually begins with trying to make your blog look important to search engines like google and drawing in as much relevant traffic as possible. Do some research to find cost effective simple and easy ways to market your blog.
Finally keep writing and keep advertising the only way your blog is going to be successful is if you have good content that fulfills a need for others and the people who need that information are able to find it.
