What is a blog? A web-log or blog was originally designed as a platform where individuals could write random thoughts, stories, and ideas via the internet. Today blogs have evolved into so much more. Bloggers can potentially attract thousands of followers, views and for some, generate a substantial income from advertising dollars. So........you want to write a blog? Below are 8 easy steps to get started! Step 1: Choose a topic; write what you know!
Step 2: Create a blog site. (There are many free blog/website builders available on the internet. Research them to find one that fits your personality and skill level.) Step 3: Choose a domain name. (Most blog building sites allow you to choose a domain name for free. You can always purchase a specific domain name and add it to your blog later.) Step 4: Complete the AUTHOR and/or ABOUT section of your blog to inform readers about your interests and experience. Step 5: Add PURCHASED pictures! Copyright infringement is very real, illegal and can have costly repercussions. (There are many great, affordable photo purchase sites that offer packages or subscriptions. Bottom line, do not just pull a picture off the internet and assume it's free.) Step 6: Add a CONTACT page. (It is best to require comments to be approved before they post) Step 7: Write two or three short blog posts to get your feet wet. Step 8: Finally, be social! Create social media pages with your blog name and share your posts to drive traffic to your website. Happy Blogging
