Blogging Is A Way to Run A Business. When it comes down to it,
a blog is just a website,It allows you to communicate with
an audience and spread a message.Today, many people are running
their entire businesses on blogs

What is a BLOG and what does BLOG mean?
Originally, blogs were the work of a single author, or in some cases several authors. However, the popularity of blogging has spread into the wider publishing arena with many news outlets using blogs to engage their readers online
In contrast to a traditional website which may be updated irregularly, a BLOG is usually updated frequently, maybe weekly, daily, or even several times a day, it all depends on the blogger. Depending on the topics which the blog covers, a blog could probably be considered stale if it was not updated for several months.
One reason for the massive surge in published blogs is the simplicity of its software. Most blogging applications make it very easy to create your own blog with no technical knowledge at all. This has enabled writers from all backgrounds to get their content online.
Wordpress and other content management systems (CMS) have also proved popular with bloggers. With Wordpress, for example, you can choose from a whole host of ready-made designs (themes), and a vast array of easy-to-install plugins which add functionality to the standard Wordpress installation.
Most blogs enable the visitors to post comments and/or suggestions allowing interactivity between the blogger and the visitors. This can create a connection between the blogger and their readers, which is what most bloggers would say blogging* is all about

People start blogs for different reasons. Today, blogging is a great way to:

Become a better person. Blogging helps you think clearer, communicate with intentionality and build your creative flair.
Improve your writing. Writing proficiency comes with regular practice and starting a blog helps you write regularly
Make your voice heard. Gone are the days when only powerful politicians and wealthy businessmen could air their views. Now, you, too, can!
Make a difference. You want to help people take control of their personal finance? Start your own blog. You wish people would exercise more, take healthier meals and rest better? Start a blog.
Get published. The world is changing, and traditional publishers are falling into irrelevance. Smart authors now make a blog, build a loyal audience and publish their works. This approach works always.

STEP 2: Decide WHAT your blog will focus on

 

 

People start different classes of blogs.

Travel blogs. Vegetarian blogs. Romance blogs. Writing blogs. Marketing blogs. Political blogs. Religion blogs. Fashion blogs. Photography blogs.

So… what type of blog should you start?
What will be the focus or theme of your blog? This theme is called a niche –– and you should have one.

The best is to choose a niche you’re passionate about. Blogging is to be enjoyed. You know, there’s fulfillment in connecting with others and providing helpful information. You’ll experience this joy, and be able to do it for long, if you’re passionate about what you blog about.

When I finally launched my first blog, I found I was really passionate about writing and publishing. So I made that my niche and was able to connect with, learn from and impact many nice people. I even made money from it. I was fulfilled.

What are your hobbies?
What do you feel happy doing? What are you always excited to talk about to your friends?

Is it fashion, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership, food, traveling, relationship, movies or fiction? That’s probably what you should be blogging about. If you’re passionate about it, you can keep sharing useful information about it.

Create a blog today, and talk about what you love, what you know, and what you’re learning. It’s easy, and you CAN do it.

 

 

STEP 3: Decide WHICH of the blogging platforms you’ll use

 

The question, “How do you start a blog?” has many alternative answers. You can do it on blogging platforms like:

Blogger: e.g. yourfashionguy.blogspot.com
Hosted WordPress: e.g. yourfashionguy.wordpress.com
Self-Hosted WordPress: e.g. yourfashionguy.com
The first two options are free. But they’re also clumsy and ugly, don’t you think?

If your interest is to start a blog for business, a self-hosted WordPress blog is more professional. If it’s to do it for a cause or as a hobby, a self-hosted WordPress blog is more elegant.

The free blogging platforms aren’t really free.
They come with TONS of annoying limitations that just enslave you. Here’s 5 of them:

Limit #1: if you think the companies allowing you to create a blog on their blogging platforms for free do so because they love you, you’re wrong. They only do so to make money off of you. That’s why they put up adverts on your blog and ask you to pay to enjoy upgrades. Go for a self-hosted blog so you won’t be a wheel in a car working to make another company rich.

Limit #2: you’re not allowed to do affiliate marketing on free blogs. Some of them further prohibit Google Adsense and other cool ways to make money blogging. That’s not how to start a blog rightly.

Limit #3: you can’t use any of the thousands of amazing plugins and themes available to a self-hosted blog. After making a blog, plugins help you extend the functionality of the blog, the same way apps extend the functionality of a phone. Imagine having a phone without being able to install and use apps. Is it cool to live in a house you’re prohibited from painting and designing? If it’s not, then it sucks to have a blog without being able to use a theme on it.

Limit #4: you can’t use a custom email like John@YourFashionGuy.com. That’s not cool. You deserve something better.
Limit #5: on free blogging platforms, your blog can be deleted at anytime if the company’s server mistakes your blog for a spam, or if you accidentally violate their rules. And guess what – you have no remedy if that happens.

So the smart choice is to go with a self-hosted blog
