HOW TO START A BLOG !!.............................IN FEW STEPS WITH SCREENSHOTS
Welcome to The Blogger World
Summary:
This section provides background information to help you understand the basics of blogging and shows you where to find sources of valuable reference material. We also describe a number of
different blog types, how to choose your niche, and list some of the many reasons people like to blog.
What is a “blog” and “blogging”?
A blog (shortened from the phrase “weblog”) is known as many things—a digital magazine, diary, newscast, collector’s meeting place, a showcase for your art, information sharing, teaching hub, place to learn and...well, almost anything you want it to be. A typical blog combines text, images, videos and links to relevant pages and media on the Web. Blog readers can leave comments and communicate with the author. In fact, dialogue and interaction are a popular part of a blog’s success. In the blogging world, you have the word “blog”(an online journal), “blogger” (the person who owns and
contributes to a blog) and “blogging” (the act of creating content for
the blog). You can be a “blogger blogging on a blog,” a “blog about a
blogger blogging” or a “blogging blog about a blogger.”
One of the great things about blogging is the impact it has made
on communication throughout the world. Blogs can report news as
it happens, hold mainstream media to higher standards and provide
specific news and information to meet niche interests.
Darren Rowe: one of the earliest and best-known bloggers, defines it like this:
A blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most
recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom.
The most popular styles and types of blogs
Personal blogs Personal blogs share thoughts, original art, poems,writing or photography. Some sell custom crafts, art or products. If you just want to make a statement, show your DIY (do it yourself) skills, have fun or blog for therapy, a personal blog is perfect for your needs.
Business blogs are created in the voice of the company, as a crucial
component of marketing. They can function as a direct-sales tool and
are outstanding for both messaging and two-way communication as part of a company’s public relations efforts. Blogs are effective and cost-efficient vehicles for small organizations that need to publish information for their customers or members.
Niche/topical blogs focus on a particular interest. They can be about health, gardening, education, sports, fashion or or lifestyle. Name your special interest and you can blog about it. If you’re a collector of antiques, a true-mystery fan, a travel addict or just love cooking, there may be a blog in your future. Niche blogs easily attract loyal followers, which contributes to the fun of blogging.
Media-type blogs are defined by their content. If you enjoy video
blogging, then you’re a blogger. If you curate content from other websites, you have a link log. If you post photos or art sketches on your blog, you’re hosting a photo blog or art blog.
Reverse blogs are a unique but popular type of blog. Instead of
the owner creating content, the content is supplied by the public. A reverse blog has a team who moderate posts, prevent unpleasant interactions and promote slow topics for greater interactivity.
Why people blog?
Think about why are you starting a blog and why people should be interested in following
you. Jeff Bullas created a poll and asked people, “Why do you blog?”. The answers vary, but top answers were, “Writing about the passion” and “To share with others”. If you want to learn more about phenomenon of blogging, read Why do people blog?.
The biggest benefits of blogging
Become a better writer and thinker
Once you start blogging, you’ll find yourself becoming a better writer and
thinker. Mastering content takes creative thought. When you become immersed in creating great pieces of content for your blog, your writing, thinking and research skills improve in the process.
Establish yourself as an expert
Blogs are wonderful tools to help people establish themselves as experts in a field or niche. We all have some kind of interest and expertise to share with others. If you’re able to produce great content on your blog and/or have a unique point of view on the topic, then be assured that your future audience will recognize it and reward you for it. Today, the Web has different experts and different opinions for almost every topic you can dream up. With a bit of effort, you too can become an authority in the area of your interest.
Increase your self-confidence
The more involved you become with blogging, the more your creative juices will flow. That’s one reason why blogging is so popular. As you gain knowledge about your topic, the confidence you’ll build in your followers and most importantly, in yourself, will soar. All of this leads to increased creativity. According to the New York Times, 81 percent of Americans believe they have a book inside of them to share with the world. In essence, you will be writing a book, piece by piece, on your blog. Keep an open mind and enjoy your new-found
confidence in your own abilities!
Make friends and have fun With practice and a little effort, you can easily build your base of blog fans and followers. As you become known as an expert in your niche, you can inspire, encourage and help your followers make a difference in their own lives. Along your blogging journey, you will make new friends and connections throughout the world. If you like to travel, that means a lot of couches are available for you to snooze on while winging your way around the globe!
Make money from your blog Blogging can also have financial benefits. You can place ads and receive affiliate commissions by promoting products of established online retailers. And you can sell your own digital products and merchandise.
