5 Things To Know Before You Start A Blog

-


Today, anyone can start a blog in a couple of minutes. Basically, a blog is an effective marketing tool that can help you generate a good deal of money if done the right way. However, if you want to be good at it, know that you need to choose and walk on the right path. Given below are a few tips that you should know prior to going on this adventure.

It takes lots of time and effort


First of all, make sure you know why you are going to start a blog. What is your purpose? Do you want to start a blog just to make money online? If this is what you want out of your blog, know that it won't be the right path to take.

For earning money on the internet, blogging is one of the hardest methods. The reason is that writing blog posts on a regular basis take a good deal of time and effort. It may cause disappointment if you publish something and no one reads it. Immediate results should not be expected.

Blogging is not free


Although you can choose Tumblr, Medium, Blogger and WordPress to host your blog for free, know that you will have to lack control and a lot of limitations.

If you need a customized web address, more storage, better design and other features, you may want to opt for a self-hosted WordPress blog. The cost of domain and the hosting will be around $100 per year, which is not a big deal.

Choose your niche


Once you have decided to move on, you may want to choose a niche first. What you need to do is a choice that you are interested in. Aside from this, make sure that the one you are going to choose can help you stand yourself from the crowd as there are numerous blogs in each niche.

One important thing that you should do when choosing a niche is to define your audience first. Aside from this, you need to consider your concerns, interests, and needs as well.

Content is King


If you want to maintain or raise your traffic, know that the content is really important. You don't have to publish tons of posts every day. One or two is enough, but make sure each post is high quality, which means it should offer something valuable to the readers.

If the readers are able to solve a problem by reading your posts, know that they will bookmark your pages and will get back again for more information.

Know basic SEO


If you have got the hang of basic SEO techniques, know that they can prove really effective in helping you get traffic to your blog. For growth, you need to get organic traffic for your web pages and SEO can help you do just that.

Conclusion


Nowadays, you can start your own blog within minutes. However, keep in mind that blogging may not work for everyone out there. Most newcomers leave this field within a few days or weeks. At first, it will be harder to create content but you will get used to it with time. So, you have to have patience and wait for your blog to generate traffic and money.

For much of the year, Facebook had been in negotiation to sell itself to Yahoo. The market value of the "instant behemoth" social service sites has fluctuated, as services, both large and small have changed hands this year. The first big acquisition was Newscorp's purchase of MySpace for $580 million in 2005. That set a benchmark, which was driven upward somewhat by the NBC Universal purchase of women's online network iVillage for $600 million earlier this year. Social networking sites typically allow users to create and share blogs, pictures, and videos with friends and the wider public. What makes Facebook different from MySpace? Its founder(s) set out to create a social networking site that is designed for post-high school users. It connects people by region, college, company and high school.
