Blogging 101 – How to Set Up Your Blog

It’s 2021, and the digital arena is at its most expansive. Of the many sources that populate our digital world, blogs are one of the most common – and loved! In fact, anyone can dive right into blogging, even if you’re a first-timer. 

Setting up your own blog is easier than ever; here’s how:

1)   The first step is to choose a theme. What’s your blog going to be about? It’s a good idea to pick something that interests you – be it food, music, or ghost stories! The important part is picking something you’re passionate about, so the enthusiasm reflects in your blog. 

The most crucial aspect of online marketing is to attract buyers to your website. Blogging helps with gaining traction to your page, building a thriving relationship with customers who trust your service. And through your blogs, these potential clients can view your product or service entirely, and that gives them a fair idea of what they can expect from you. An added advantage is the feedback you receive via comments that will help make subtle changes to your brand. 

3)   Next comes the actual creation of your blog. Platforms such as WordPress and Medium are great for beginners as they house a bunch of ready-made features that are easy to customize. 

4)   This next step is the most technical yet, and that too is pretty simple – blogging plugins. Ideally, you should have at least two blogging plugins, one to search for viewers and the other to make a record of statistics

5)   Write the actual content! Once you’ve got the structure and technicalities of your blog set up, it’s now time to put it out there for the public to see. Remember, the more compelling your content, the more viewers you’ll get – and the faster you’ll build up a following!
