Creating a blog is as
easy as updating a status on social media. But before that you should have a
clear decision of what kind of a blog you wish to start in order for you to be
in a position to give it the best domain name according to its content. You
cannot use a domain that refers to health and fitness and in the blog the
content is more of entertainment and nothing about health and fitness.
The first process of opening a blog is first deciding the
best domain that suits the type of content that you wish to publish in your
blog. This stage is the most difficult to people since many lack sufficient
ideas on what domain to use. Before going to the blog platform you should first
decide the best domain that fits the contents of your blog.
The domain name should not be difficult for your targeted viewers
to remember. You should choose a simple and easy to remember domain so that
viewers of your content should always remember and always be in a position to
visit your blog as many times as possible for updates.
1) CHOOSING
BLOG PLATFORM
When you are done with the domain decision then you proceed
and decide which platform to use for your blog. The most popular platforms to
start a blog with are:
- Blogger.com
- Tumblr.com
- Word press.com
- Self-hosted blog
The first three platforms are free and it’s just as easy as
signing up and your blog account is done and ready to start publishing. Well
there is a disadvantage of the three platforms if you wish to have a highly
professional blog. They are free to start but they may cost you quite some
money in order to make your blog as professional as you would like it to be.
What you should know about these free blogs is that they do not have a custom
domain. You are given a sub domain. So you have the obligation to buy a custom
domain that fits with you blog and link it with your blog and you will be good
to go.
When it comes to design, the templates offered are simple
hence giving you an option of purchasing better templates of your choice that
will enable to you to fit the layouts as per your choice.
A self-hosted blog is better according to the
professionalism you require on your blog. You are the one to choose where to
host your domain and here you are in full control of your blog.
I made $20 for completing a 20 minute survey!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So these companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, like me and you, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
