5 Things You Must Know Before Starting A Blog by Nobody: 6:06pm On Jun 28, 2016
Blogging has now become what most people aspire to engage into. Thanks to Adsense, Linda Ikeji's banana house, Harsh of ShoutMeLoud's Fame and others that contributes to people gasping to BELONG.
However its now new thing that most blog beginners gave up easily at an early stage simply because they do not made research very well before they starts. Am now going to list below 5 Things Every Blog Beginners Must Know Before KickStarting A Blog
.
.
.
1 - Know Why You Want to blog: There is more to this other than that, ''i just wanted to make money''.
.
.
2 - You need to become a writer: if you detest writing, am sorry to dissappoint you that blogging might not works for you and maybe you should go for something else. Because the different between a website and a blog is A R T I C L E S!
.
.
3 - Platform of Choice - Wordpress and Blogger are not the only blogging platform out there but they are the most populous. Find time to sit and ruminate on the one you can use (depending on personal, financial, and other reasons)
.
.
4 - Not all that Glitters are Gold: Your friend tells you once you creates a blog, you can use BLACKHAT to start ranking on search engine, to earn money, to acquire adsense, blah blah blah. Believe my brother, all these might burn your hand at the end
.
.
5 - Read Other's Blog too: If you want to learn more, earn more, get better exposure, connect more, then you need to READ AND COMMENT ON OTHER PEOPLE'S BLOG.

On the second point, becoming a writer is not mandatory when starting a blog. there are lots of other ways one could get genuine, original content and still succeed at blogging. I agree, knowing how to write helps. It's just not a make or break factor.

Wordpress and blogger are not the only platforms, but seriously, when it comes to blogging, look no further than blogger (free blog) or wordpress (self-hosted blog). The two stand head and shoulder above any other platform out there. I use wordpress for my blog (signature link) and I don't think any other CMS measures.

I totally agree on the fourth point. To succeed at long term profitable blogging, stay away from black hat. very important. Do everything by the book.

It's like saying you don't like websites anymore. What is a blog? That is the question.

When everyone becomes blogger who'll read the news on blogs? undecided

Re: 5 Things You Must Know Before Starting A Blog by Nature129(m): 8:14am On Jun 30, 2016
OP, you raised very salient points I must say. But you really need to work on your use of English for anyone to take you seriously as a blogger. Well, I tried so hard to overlook it, but some people may not.

I think knowing what you want to blog about is one of the paramount thing in blogging. I have been blogging for five years now. Despite all this how to, the best way to blog is to learn by mistake. Also you should not engage in blogging because you want to make money. DO it because of passion and other things, including money shall follow. More of this on blog before Seun kick me out again for unpaid advertorial.
