First you have to decide on a niche, the one you can tirelessly blog about, then choose a blogging platform; blogger or WordPress. You can contact me for more clarification

You may be thinking that you have a job or you are a student, so you can’t blog. No! No! I’m a student, in my final year. From experience am telling you that blogging will even help you as a student. You’ll get to understand as you read on. Your job shouldn’t be a barrier also. It shouldn’t stop you from blogging. I’ve met a few people who have full-time jobs but are interested in blogging and I help them set up their blogs. You may be thinking about the possibility of combining your job with blogging. Ayeni Tobi of MissTechy dot com recently wrote a post on how she does this. She’s got a job, but very consistent on her blog. You can learn from her experience if you want to combine your job with blogging.

7 Awesome Reasons To Start Your Blog This Year

1. You’ll Become A Better Writer

Blogging is definitely going to improve your writing skills. Becoming a better writer lies on much practice, and how frequently you write. And then that is what blogging is about. This is one of the reasons it will help you as a student. Blogging has greatly improved my writing skills and other bloggers out there.

2. You’ll Make A Difference In The Life Of Others

One time or the other, we have all read a story, a blog post, or an article online that inspired us. You can change people’s life for the better through blogging. Inspiring young people to discover their true potentials, directing people to make better choices in their relationships, spreading the virtues of your faith.There are many ways you can help others through blogging. Your voice matters, making it heard will have a positive impact on others. Start your blog today to be an inspiration to others.

3. You’ll Meet New People.

I’ve enjoyed many benefits since I started blogging. Meeting interesting people is part of them. If you’ve been blogging for while, you’ll agree with me on this. People that are interested in your niche will always contact you to know more about it and you’ll end up making friends with some of them. Beneficial friends. You may also get to meet top bloggers in your niche. Meeting new people and making friends is fun.

4. You’ll Become A Better Thinker

You don’t get taught in school how to think, but it’s one of the greatest attributes every human must possess. Blogging fills that void, it helps you grow your thinking muscles exponentially. Before writing anything, you have to think so you can give your readers what they want from you. Now is the best time to think about having your own blog.

5. It’ll Build Your Confidence.

Blogging will make you confide in yourself, it’ll help you learn to voice your opinion without being scared of making mistakes. With time you’ll realize that your voice matters and you have something to offer others.

6. It’ll create opportunity for yourself and for your business

Writing about a particular topic consistently shows you are an expert in that field. When you become known in that area people looking for expertise will eventually contact you. One of my major services online is to set up blogs. I’ve been doing that even before I started this blog. But after starting this blog, I get to meet more people interested in my services because they see me as an expert.

7. You Can Make Money From Blogging

I know you’ve heard a lot about making money from blogging and that is the main reason some people go into it. Though it is true that you can make money blogging, but blogging is not a get-rich-quick scheme. (You’ve heard about that too). Create values and grow your audience before you think of making money from your blog.

So are you convinced? You want to start your blog? Don’t rush. Don’t jump into entertainment niche like others do and end up becoming a “copy-and-paste” blogger. Carefully choose a niche that is right for you. I wrote a post that will help you choose the right niche. Check my profile.

One more thing.

There are two major platform to set up your blog; Blogger and WordPress.

Blogger is a free service owned by google, where you can easily set up your blog in minutes and get a free sub-domain like yourblog..com.

WordPress on the other hand is divided into two; Self hosted and free hosted (). Just like blogger, is free and you’ll also get a free sub-domain like yourblog..

But to use the self hosted WordPress, you’ll need to purchase a hosting account and install the WordPress script.

If you already know about WordPress and Blogger, you should also know that using the self hosted WordPress is the best. There are many articles online supporting this claim. Personally, I don’t take bloggers on a free platform like and blogger serious. Especially those without a custom domain name.

this looks like two different site to me but same domain name. I'm actually saying one site that has 2 divisions(blog and retail centre)that will appear on your screen immediately you click on the url and each division will be serving their purposes.

I very much understand you. The "contact me" part is not part of them. It's my own personal blog.
Here's what you mean

The blog part of the website is www.safetywiseblog.com
Then the products part is www.safetywiseblog.com/shop

It's the same website

812clothings:
Hello Web developers and designers on this forum. Please,i need your suggestion on how to go about creating a fashion blog and e-commerce websites on the same domain name. i.e I want it to serve two purposes, providing hint on how people can rock their outfit well and at the same time shop on same website.

overhypedsteve:
poor navigation, poor categorization, poor archived page navigation. Your blog is trash. I am so sorry I had to say that, blogging is not business if you can't blog do something else, virtually all your post are recycled post from NL and other sites, how long can you keep that up? Why didn't you build a blog and write about laziness, cus I think you may have one or two experience on the topic.

word!

Bossforeva:
am waiting for more money to maintain that option without no hitches. Am really interested in that self hosting plan.

oh... that 'll be great

Bossforeva:
Pls I can't find the Reading settings on the my WordPress. I wanna increase the number of posts on the main page, but the settings is nowhere to be found.
The blog I need help with is www.starttells.com it is hosted on
Thanks

Why not get a host and move to a self hosted blog. It has more features than using the free account.

Bros na wa for you.... where is it possible to copy text from pictures?

Funny... Na old man dey do himself like this?

Gistboxblog:
I would have to start from the beginning of your guide to correct my mistake, but I can't since the domain name has been registered with the blog.

OK. Just go to your 1and1 dashboard and remove all the changes you made earlier.
Delete the sub-domains you created

Gistboxblog:
Thanks a lot, but here is the problem, how do I get another token when the domain has already been registered with the blog?, if I try starting over, it won't give me a new alias since it has bn registered with the blog before.
And also I never created a new sub domain, I just registered from inside blogger and it directed me to 1and1.com to register with the domain

You don't have to start again. Just check for your mistake and correct it

Gistboxblog:
Could u point me in the right direction?

I don't know where u missed it. Let me just summarize the settings.

1. Create a sub-domain. The sub-domain would be "www" without the quote of course.

2. On the sub-domain overview, edit the DNS settings, choose c-name and enter "www.gistboxblog.com.ghs.googlehosted.com" in the textbox labeled "alias" and click save

3. Create another sub-domain with the token you from your blogger dashboard as seen in the screenshot below. Use the short one.
https://i1.wp.com/clickableblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Image-11.png

4. On the sub-domain overview, edit the DNS settings, choose c-name and enter the other long token in the textbox labeled "alias" and click save.

It should start working now if you followed it correctly.

Retrace your steps to see where you missed it.

Gistboxblog:
Thanks for the response but I have done that, but still nothing changed

That means there's something you missed when setting it up on 1and1.com dashboard

Gistboxblog:
Good evening guys, i have a blog with blogger.com, and i later bought a custom domain name from 1and1.com, but i have since hit quite a brick wall, i successfully mapped my blog with the custom domain name, but here is the problem, people cant access my blog without the www.
For example if you gotto www.gistboxblog.com , you would be directed to the blog, but if you use gistboxblog.com , you would be redirected somewhere else, you can see for yourself by checking those links..
Please i need help correcting this, help

All you just have to do is redirect it from your blogger dashboard.
On the domain setting page, click to edit the domain and tick the check box that says 'redirect to www'.
Then save it.

No 4 is so true.
