The reason that might have inspired you might be the earning capabilities that you have come to know about or the successful case studies that you read from neighbour bloggers. Whatever might be the reason, you wanted to take up blogging and that matters. Let’s get started with ‘what’ and ‘how’ kind of meta-questions.
I’m not going to speak a lot abstract that would scare you off the race, instead, I will give you a brief idea of how to proceed with blogging in a language that you can understand.
Where to get started?
Isn’t this your first question when you thought about blogging?Yes! Of course, it should be. Because you know what, no matter how better skills you possess, they’d go vain without knowing where to start?
To get started with the ‘where’ question, dig up your abilities and check if they can be really used for blogging. It helps you choose a niche that you love to write about.
N.I.C.H.E…Niche?? OMG!! What’s that word?
Don’t judge this article yet. I would not break my promise that I made to speak in your language until the end.‘Niche’ is aahh…consider it a field or category or subject that you would want to write about in your blog. For example, ‘Health’ is a niche, ‘Career’ is a niche, ‘Tech’ is a niche and so on.
More precisely, Amfas Tech is a tech blog and I would never allow ‘health’ topics to be published on it.
Hope that figures it out for you.
So, choosing a niche of your choice answers the ‘where to start?’ question well.
Formula to choose a niche:
Niche ={ [ Search (Subject you have sound knowledge in) + Interest ] x writing skill }
What you need?
All you need to start a blogging career is some basic knowledge of blogging glossary and passion towards it. Blogging is not a monthly paid job. It is your own business online. So, do not expect to be earning the ‘justified’ money for the amount of work and time you spend here initially.A typical blogging start-up needs a platform, good template, high-quality content, promotional strategies and time.
If this is formulated, it will be,
Platform {Good Template + [(HQContent x Promotions)]time } ∞ Success
