10 TIPS TO START YOUR BLOG IN 2017

Do you have the idea and the desire to create a blog? Before embarking on the journey of setting up a blog for yourself, you need to ask yourself the right questions and also know where to start. Below are 10 tips to start your own blog.

1.      BE PASSIONATE AND WANT TO SHARE

Before you start your blog, are you sure to have found the right topic and wanted to share? A blog is a great personal investment, so it is better to be passionate.

Start your blog for good reasons, i.e. sharing and exchanging and not to receive free products or earn money. These are things that can happen, of course, but it's secondary, and it will come through perseverance, investment in time and a lot of work.

.      CHOOSE THE NAME OF YOUR BLOG

This part is not easy as you thought, try to find an original, unique and above all matching name. It is the name that will follow you for a very long time because once the blog is created, it is advised not to change it because this could disrupt your readers.

To personalize the name of your blog, one can start with your first name, your nickname or something that you like enormously. Do trials in your head and in writing. And also check that your choice of name is not taken already.

3.      DARE TO GET STARTED

Blogging is a great quest; it brings a lot of things, you have nothing to lose to try the experience. This does not bind you to anything, and I bet you will quickly take the game.

Do you hesitate because you tell yourself that there are many blogs on the same topic you want to dive into? Well, that's true, but that does not mean there's no room for your blog. Everyone has something to bring, their personality as well as their touch on any topic. Above all, it should not be forgotten that you are blogging by passion and that has to remain.

.     CHOOSE YOUR PLATFORM

When you want to start blogging there is often this big question of where to create it? Yes, you are right. There are many platforms of blogs, but I will need to advise you to go for the best two that are most known simply because it is easy to use and also easy to customize: Blogger and WordPress.org.

.      HEAL YOUR DESIGN

Designing your blog is one of the most important things for your blog simply because it is the first image that the visitor visiting your blog sees first. To make your readers stay and browse your articles, they need to feel good about it. So, try to heal your space to make it enjoyable for them.

6.      CREATE YOUR CONTENT

It is essential you create your content, inspiration is not prohibited, but copy and paste are! Tell your own stories, describe your feelings and integrate your own visuals. Nothing serves to create a blog if you have nothing to bring. You can, of course, use free illustrations or copyrighted images if you have the permission of the author and quote it but it is better if it remains unique.

7.      CARE FOR CONTENT

It is important to write neatly, meaning that you should write without fault. Try to reread yourself carefully so that your article is as neat as possible. Not to make mistakes is not obvious, I agree, I myself do not escape it, but it must remain rare.

Also, try to personalize your content by making it alive. Find your style, bring color, highlight certain words, make sure it is nice to read for your audience.

8.      LOOK AFTER THE PHOTOS / ILLUSTRATIONS

Images are a very important part of your blog, they attract the eye and help to make your blog look nice and enjoyable. Try to make bright and sharp pictures. I advise you to insert them in rather large size and across the width of your article because it is more pleasant to look at.

9.      SHOW REGULARITY

The best way to drive traffic to your blog is to publish regularly because readers will come back to discover your new article. It will also show that you are a regular and active blogger.

Being regular also allows you to have more content and therefore to be better referenced on the search engines. Your new readers will often discover you through this way, so the more articles you have, the more likely you are to appear on Google.

1.  REGISTER ON SOCIAL NETWORKS

To make your blog known, it is important not to neglect social media networks.

Take priority for the best known and used:

Facebook: Having a Facebook page allows your users to follow the release of your new articles and latest news.

Twitter: Essential to share with your subscribers and other bloggers. You can also share some funny information about your day for example.

Instagram: it helps you create a nice gallery with your photos on your blog and / or your nice personal photos to retain and make you want to discover your world.

In conclusion, the social media networks allow your readers to have a continuity of your blog, follow you to learn more about you and to feel closer to their favorite blogger.
