First Blogging Basics Issue In this first issue we're going to go over exactly what a blog is and you should have one. A blog is another name for a weblog. Which is an online journal or diary that is frequently updated. All you need to start your own blog today is a computer, some typing skills, the urge to write about something you enjoy. In the beginning blogs were usually started by college students and teens. Now, almost everyone has heard of them, read them and even started them. No matter what age you are it's extremely simple these days to start your own blog and express yourself. But, before you decide to jump into the vast world of blogging, it is important to determine what your purpose for starting a blog is. Here are some things to consider before you get started. First think about what your blog's topic will be. If you're new to blogging, you can start learning about the ins and outs of blogging by creating a personal blog. But if you prefer to talk about something less personal and you are an expert on a specific topic like computer programing for example, then you may want to start with a more professional blog. There are a wide variety of choices when it comes to blogging. For instance you could start a: Political blog - Where you can freely discuss your political views and help promote your favorite candidates. Opinion blog - so that you can release your personal frustrations or talk about the details one's daily life. Niche blog - where you can talk about a specific topic or hobby that you are passionate about. Educational blog - to share your knowledge on a topic that you know a lot about. Promotion blog - if you have a business that you want to share with the world, then blogging is a great way to reach customers around the globe. As I said above, there are so many options available when it comes to blogging and the choice is ultimately up to you. After you have decided on a topic you will need to consider which blog platform to use. There are a few. If you are new at this then you may benefit from a free easy to use platform. Blogger and Livejournal will be the best candidate for this. If you have some experience with how blogs work and want to host your blog on your own domain then Wordpress will serve you well. These are all free and provide you with the tools you need to create a great blog. The only other thing to consider before using a free blog platform like Blogger is that your blog's web address will look like this http://mydigitalproductsnet..com/ However if you choose to get a domain name registered and host it then you can lose the .com part and your blog address will be http://www.ncfnigeria.org instead! Now that you have picked a topic and chosen a platform it's time to start posting entries on you new blog. Blog entries or blog posts or simply posts are just bits of information that you put in your blog. They can be as simple a short sentence or as long as an article or report. You can post pictures audio's and even videos if you like. If you want more readers to take notice of your blog provide them with helpful and interesting content. A steady or even increasing traffic flow is one of the major goals of bloggers. Posting quality content is the key to achieve this. Once you have gotten the hang of creating and updating your blog you may want to think about accessorizing it with features such as hit counters that keep track of your visitors and other plugins that will help your blog become more attractive and user friendly for readers. Now you know exactly what a blog is and how you can start one. Whether you want a blog to just talk about your day or to endorse your business the key thing to remember is to always offer useful, enlightening and entertaining content that will keep your readers happy! If you do that your blog will be a huge success.

I've always veiwed bloggers as jobless people in life. I mean, ehn.. It takes a reasonable large amount of time in a person's life to keep a blog alive, and it sedomly reaps profits. 1 Like |

@ M'drill, you are right, it take time and commitment.I had some challenges too when I got started but now, I am enjoying it. |

M'drill: One can also customize it with affiliate. Choose a particular niche you are interested, share ideas on your blog, write articles e.t.c. For example my blog www.4xbom..com which is focused on a binary options, has affiliate links and the commission pays off. At least in a month i have 3 to 4 leads to sign up and make deposit with the broker which is $100 per lead for me. One has to be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day |
