Creating a blog is not an easy process, but certainly a rewarding one Here are a few things you need to consider before you create your blog.
Blogging has become not only one of the best ways of personal expression, but also a business tool from where many people make secondary or even primary incomes. If you have decided to create your blog for one of these reasons then good for you. They can be used to help your business website and are great for traffic, they can also be a great showcase for yourself if you are a freelancer in art or design. Whatever the reason, there are certain things you need to consider before just jumping in. You need to keep using your persistence to get on through. It isn’t an easy process, but it is certainly a rewarding one. You may have considered some of these tips, but they can help spark further blog ideas. Good luck  with the creation!
Find Your Platform
One of the first things you need to do before you create your blog is to look for a blog platform. You may or may not know about hosting, you basically need someone to host your website on a server so that it can be accessed by people who wish to see it. You also need to look at creation tools. WordPress is a great tool, and there are many WordPress hosting platforms out there that can help you succeed. You need to plan these into your overall business package because it can sometimes cost money. It depends on how professional you want to appear before you go ahead.
Think About The Niche
Now you need to think about your blog’s niche. Are you going to offer some kind of consumer advice? Or perhaps it is going to be a giveaway blog. You could want to write about things that you enjoy and showcase it. Or maybe you just need somewhere to vent to the world. Whatever you choose, you need to make it niche. The more niche the better. There are thousands of blogs out there, so try to make it different. Write the blog you want, not the blog you think people will like. Only by doing this will your passion come through and as a result the readers will start flocking.
Look To Visibility
So you have a brilliantly niche blog on a super platform that is just begging for viewers, but there aren’t any. How do you expect people to browse your site if they know nothing about it. You can sort this out. It is simple. You need to use some SEO. First make sure there is a decent amount of content on your blog, and then start pushing it across the web. Social media is a good start. Post your article from a blog page, similar to a business page. Then link back to your blog. More people will start following it, looking for similar articles in the same niche. You could even post on other blogs, just make sure they are different enough so they don’t compete. Coming to an agreement that is mutually beneficial to both blog owners is the best bet.
