There are many newbies in blogging who don't know exactly how to begin and get going with their blogs. Here are some steps to do in order for your blog to get started:

Create

The first thing that you need to do on how to start a blog, of course, is to have one. You have to create a domain name for yourself and put whatever you want to advertise or promote. If you are selling something, post your product on that blog to entice the visitors of your site. You don't have to be a computer whiz to create a blog. You just have to register at one of the blog providers on the net like Blogger and Wordpress.

Customize

Next is, add blogging freebies like images, buttons, blog chalks, tagboards guest maps, guestbooks, and other clickable areas where your visitors can leave comments, reviews, and other inputs. You can also add some template and other features and designs you desire. It's up to you how you will want your blog to look like.

Decide the Privacy

After doing this, decide if whether or not you like your blog to be public or private. If you are doing business on your blog, of course, you will have to make your blog public; but if you want to read or view your blog by just your friends and family, then make your blog private.

Write Content

Next is you will need to have articles to post on your blog. Remember, a blog is a type of website wherein everyone are welcome to interact and comment one another; this means that whatever article you post on your blog should welcome reviews and comments by users. Your articles should be about the current goings-on about the subject of your blog. If you do business on your blog, of course, your articles or contents have to be related to what you are selling. You can also share your thoughts right in your own blog. Articles you post on your blog will help search engines find you quickly, especially when you update your content constantly.

Update Conent

Search engines love blogs because they are regularly updated with fresh content. When you regularly update your blog with new contents, search engines will easily find you. When they do, people who are seeking for information will also find you. Since you have the relevant information that visitors are looking for, they will benefit you with their trust. When they have trust in your blog, they will click on your ads, your links, your “buy-a-product” clickable icons, or anything you want them to do. This is the reason of posting articles; articles will help you to make money with blogging.

Publish Your Blog

Lastly is publish your blog by sending your URL to your friends; or publish it on your website. This will increase your chance to be visited by millions of Internet users in the world. Just add the URL to the posts you've created on other blogs.
