Hey guys! I feel like a lot of my readers want to start a blog, and they just don't know how. Today, I thought I would share "How to Start a Blog" and give some helpful tips for beginners. I only started blogging around four months ago, so I'm still fairly new, but I thought some of my tips would be helpful.
How to Start a Blog The first thing you need to consider before you start a blog is if you will have enough time for it. If you've decided that you can be dedicated to your blog, now it's time to pick a platform for your blog (Weebly, Wordpress, Blogger, etc.). I personally liked Weebly the best, and that's what I use now. After you create an account on Weebly, they don't give much instruction, so I just watched a couple of YouTube videos on "How to use Weebly". After watching some videos, creating my blog was pretty straightforward. I am definitely not the best person with computers, but Weebly Is so easy to use. After you create your account on whichever platform, the next thing you need to do is edit your site. I know Weebly has tons of templates to choose from, just pick one you like then change all of the titles. After that you're set! Now all you have to do is post! Tips 1. Try to post no less than once a week. You need to provide new content for your readers, so try to be consistent with your posting schedule. 2. Use high-quality pictures. 3. Use good grammar. Along with this, try to avoid short, choppy sentences. You will seem much more professional with longer, informative sentences. Also, don't use too many exclamation points. Looking back at my first couple posts, I used so many exclamation points, and that can get kind of annoying. I'm not saying to never use them, and to be completely boring, just don't use them after every sentence. 4. Post good content. Don't write a post with one paragraph, not really explaining anything. Your readers will feel like they kind of wasted their time. Instead, be informative, and interesting. Also, you don't want to talk about how much you love a certain top without showing any pictures of it. You ALWAYS want to include a picture of whatever item you're talking about. 5. Be original! Nobody wants a knock-off of another person, and whoever you're copying may get mad. Be yourself! It will make your blog much more interesting. So those were all of my tips for new bloggers! I hope this post helped. xoxo. The Georgian Prep
