Before anything else, you have to choose your topic. It is essential that you are consistent with your content. Avoid using mixed topic for example, on your first blog you wrote about fish and on your second blog you wrote about baseball. It is vague to understand and you will suffer hardship in defining your niche. You have to laser-focus your topic so that your reader and followers will continue in your blogs. By following this first step, it is easy for you to attract people in your blog. You can entice them to read your blog and subscribe to you because of your highly-informative posts.
- FINDING A PLATFORM
If you already have a certain topic for your blog, now it is the time for you to find a platform where your blog will be hosted. I personally recommend to you the two famous platform for blogging. It is Blogger.com and WordPress. I recommend it because it is very easy to use and they offer free hosting. If you want to unlock those other features, you have to pay for a certain amount.
- PICK A DOMAIN NAME
In picking a domain name for your blog, you have to consider the following factors.
- Do not use a very long domain. It should be no more than 15 characters
- Use only the (TLD) or the top-level domain such as .com or .net
- Purchase only to those well known domain provider. If possible, do some research before purchasing
- Avoid using self-hosted subdomains to rank or categorize posts
- INSTALL GOOGLE ANALYTICS
Install google analytics to track the performance of your blog. You can determine where is the traffic in your site coming from. You can count how many clicks and impression your blog received every single day.
- USE GOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOLS
If you want to gain more audiences in your blog and to have more money, google webmaster tool is a very effective tool. This will help you by constantly updating you about your sites performance. You can use this to track keyword impressions along with click-through rates.
- REGULARLY BUILD USEFUL CONTENT

- USE SOCIAL MEDIA
If you really want to get more audiences, it is hard to rely on your blog alone. The social media platform like facebook, twitter, instagram, pinteres and others can help you grow your blog site. You can get more impression from this social media giants.
- MONETIZE YOUR BLOG
Yes it is. This part, you can start to earn money. If your are using blogger.com platform, you need to blog for 6 months before they allow you to use Google Adsense. But if you want to earn immediately, you can use third party tools or the affiliating program. I recommend the adspyglass and adf.ly in this. But please, do not over use this marketing tool. Too much advertisement in our blog can turned off your audiences.
If you are using wordpress, you can monetize your site with thier WordAds. You can also use Google Adsense in your wordpress. Just learn how to use their plugins. If you have enough followers and visitors in your site, passive income
