Starting Your First Blog!

Starting a blog doesn’t cost anything and it’s not complicated. More people start blogging daily, and it seems everyone or business related is doing this! You get to see what they are thinking or what their business has to offer, and it draws their attention. The more and more you do blogging the more likely to have customers coming to your doorsteps asking for your business. They can like and share blogs, or learn from them!

Step 1: Setting Your Blog Up

Using WordPress is a great platform to use; you can use this on any smartphone, computer or tablet. WordPress is one of the most popular blogging platforms out there and with very good reasons.

Step 2: Choosing A Topic

This is the part where you decide what you want to talk about to your users. Pick a topic to talk about and just write about. Share some thoughts, ideas, trends, and images to go along with the content. If your business is related to Graphic Design, or Web Design share some ideas, thoughts and trends to go along with that. Keep it in your range of business.

Step 3: Learning From Your Peers

Don’t be afraid to admit that when you first started to learn how to blog that you made many countless mistakes. That’s perfectly okay and normal! Blogging can be tricky at first, but after you get the hang of it, you’ll be a pro through out your career/ personal life when it comes down to it. Benefit the knowledge you get from users, and your peers when they visit your site. If your images are too large, you can learn how to fix that issue. If you have spelling or grammar issues you can fix that also.

You can also look up other blogs from other sites, and see what they are doing, and how it’s become effective. Get some ideas and try it out for yourself on your own site.  Just DO NOT copy someone else blogs!! That is a big no! You can look at what they have, and take their topic idea but put everything in your own words as much as possible. Search engines don’t like seeing copyrighted material on the Internet, you can lose rankings by doing that.
