1. Think Before You Start
Think more before start a blog. Think about what you want to blog about. It should be about something you love to talk about and have a good knowledge. It’s should be something fun and creative things. Honestly speaking, no one will be interested on how you got through your day. People looking for help, they need entertainment, and you’re going to give it to them. I’ve posted a blog about best blogging platforms, you must read this to get stated your blogging journey.
2. Blog Name & Hosting
You should make sure to get a nice name for your blog and should have a good hosting. With keyword you can get a good domain for your blog. And the web hosting is really an important thing to become successful in blogging. Because if your web server is very bad or has low speed then visitors will go down. So, I always suggest to have a keyword full domain name and cloud web hosting for blogging.
I recommend Namecheap to register your domain name and Bluehost for hosting your blog.
3. Set Up Your Blog
It’s really an important to have a good looking blog to start. If you want to keep your visitors in your blog then should have a clean blog template. Hosts like WordPress and Blogger provide good looking templates which you can use to make your blog look attractive.

4. Write Regularly
It would be best if you could post a minimum of one post per day on your blog. People don’t like to wait for days for new posts. Almost all of the most visited blogs have posts like every hour! Make sure you’re a regular blogger. This will keep you viewers interested and come back for more and eventually follow the blog!
5. SEO and Marketing
I know it’s really tough to manage all things by yourself as a beginner. But you should try to do some SEO and marketing related works for your blog. You must submit your blog to search engines to index perfectly. If you’re WordPress user then should use some free SEO tools that will increase your blog rank and also continue the social marketing.
You will need to find the first readers on your own. So don’t ignore email marketing as a method of finding your potential readers.
You can find prospects’ emails in the niche your blog covers with different email finding tools. And after that, automate email sending process with drip campaigns.
It’s one of the easiest ways to search for influencers and ask them to share your blog to their audience.
6. Be Friendly with Readers
Try to be more friendly with your readers on writing, commenting and at times talk to your audience about yourself. If it’s about traveling, talk to them about your experience of tours. Also having an “About” page which will tell your blog readers about the blog and yourself.
7. Be More Patient
Most of the beginner want to become a pro blogger over night. Please don’t expect your blog to be successful in a day. Blogs take months or even years to get decent traffics. All you need to do is keep posting and never give up. This has been the leading cause to shut-down blogs.
8. Explore More Ideas
You should read pro bloggers stories to explore more ideas. And do a survey to your blog readers and get feedback’s from them. Ask them what they actually looking for and interested in. Sometime take their positive feedback to change your blogging strategy. Think of it as a community, where you need to get to them and they need to get back to you.
You should read pro bloggers blogs like Neil Patel, Pat Flynn, Brian Clark and Darren Rowse to learn more about blogging.
9. Enjoy the Blogging
Blogging is a way to make money with having fun. While you blog, make sure you are enjoying it personally. Most of the the you will be failed but you should be happy with that. And start again from the failed point. Don’t blog with the intention of being bored or tired. If you get tired or frustrated quickly, blogging probably isn’t for you.
