On my previous post titled

6 Things You Need To Consider Before Earning Through Blogging.

I have mentioned the things you should consider before choosing to make blogs as a profession.

Today I will help you with your first step to your venture by guiding you step by step to reach your first goal, STARTING YOUR BLOG. 

I will break it down in no particular order:

• Think of a blogging niche
  

Before we start what is a blogging niche?

Niche blogging (CanE, UK /ˈniːʃ/ or US /ˈnɪtʃ/)^[1] is the act of creating a blog with the intent of using it to market to a particular niche market. While it could be argued that every blog is, in some form, a niche blog, the term as it applies to marketing refers to a particular kind of blog.

Examples: Earn money, Save money, Cats (Believe it or not its famous in japan),Celebrity news.And The list goes on.

1. Write content that could give info and help people solve their problems.Be the person they need ,a leader to guide them through their problems.Your audience would eventually go back to you for more guidance and information if you correctly serve your purpose to them.
2. Writing good content is not enough, you need to be unique and give something more innovative.What I do is, I give detailed information which others ask you to pay for it, so I think that's what makes me different from the others, Don't you think?
3. Make the title of your post intriguing and interesting. Normal titled post would just lead your blog to extinction without the views.

• Sticking with your niche

1. You need to know your craft and stick to it. Don't worry  you can get out of your scope once in a while,but remember keep the majority of your post on point with your selected niche.You don't want to be labeled as a generalized blogger, in other words just like anybody else who just talks about random stuff.
2. Before you give something innovative and unique to people, know who your audience are. Know what they want and need, Asses yourself if do you have the proper answer and information to their queries? As for me I live in a country where there are lots of people who don't know how to earn online and fall for scams which is really unnecessary, this is the time where i should be into action.

These are the basic things you need to know on your start up process. Now we move on to the next part which is:

• Choosing Blog Platforms

Now that you're set into starting your own blog and you already know the essential things,You wonder where you could write the content that could touch people's lives.These 2 platforms are highly recommended  for beginners who are still clueless on how to start their own website/platfrom.

1. Blogger is the platform i'm currently using right now. It's easy to signup ding a,no need for cond best of all it's free.
2. Wordpress is a lot similar to Blogger, they are both easy to use. It also has lots of customizable themes for your blog and it's free.

After you have done all these steps,remember to write everything on paper as you brainstorm ideas on what to write. Never forget to read your post before even hitting the publish button.

• Customization of Your Chosen Blog Platform

Being unique means being different. What I mean is the customization of your blog. Luckily blogger allows you to customize a template. As you can see i have a custom banner and different aspects in my page. These factors allow you to be unique and distinctive among your fellow bloggers. Personality and Character defines you among your competition. So always keep this matter into consideration.
