Blog are known as Web logs.
The first thing you want to do do is decide where to host.
To use a blog hosting service such as eBloggy (http://www.ebloggy.com) or BlogEasy (http://www.blogeasy.com). (wordpress, soulcast etc...)
- To host a blog yourself on a server of your own choice.
there sre quite a few choices and you might want to do a little research on your own.
Both options have their free or paid subsections.
The blog hosting services mentioned here are free but there are paid services out there.
MSN now offer ‘Spaces’, which are essentially blogs attached to your MSN account and may be of interest to some. Web hosting can also be free or paid but you’ll find it difficult to find a free service that will offer you the features you’ll need to run a blog backend.
You also don’t have to put up with there being ads on your page (unless you find some free hosting which usually has advertising put at the top of your site).
So now you have yourself a blog up and running; it’s time to fill it with content. What you write is up to you. Generally people write about their lives, how they feel, what they think, and similar topics. You can be much more diverse and creative than this though.
You could for example post creative writings on your blog, as well as discuss news and current affairs, or anything else that you can imagine.
It’s your personal space to write what you like and get it out there for others to read and give their opinions on.
Making people come and read yourblog money could take some effort. You need to make them aware that it exists and keep it interesting so that they continue coming back. Nothing kills off a readership base like a lack of updates.
For attracting the broader public you need ways to let the wider community know you are out there. Spend time at other people’s blogs, make it a habit to head over there and read their posts.
If it’s appropriate put a link to your site in a comment box or guest book on their site. Visit forums related to blogs (or just forums in general) and become an active member there.
As long as you have a link to your site in your signature, people will probably head on over for a look.
These are sites dedicated solely to getting people into blog sites, and while it may be hard to climb into the higher ranks, simply having your site listed will probably improve your hit rate. You could also submit your site to as many search engines as possible.
Perhaps you could even write yourself an article like this one with your link in the bio field.
The following 2 programs a re a must have in your library.
I know i have them.
If you really are serious you should get a copy of BLOGGING TO THE BANK (just click Blogging to the bank or on the banner above and your ready.)
The other program i would recommend is THE BLOGGING MACHINE.
These are a must have if you really want to earn income while you blog easy.
I have personally used both of them and have enjoyed continued success Creating a blog
Beyond this you’re going to have to work out your own methods for publicizing your site.
Just think creatively about how and where you can get a link put in and you’ll be fine.
Getting your blog set up and running can be an involving task but the results will be worth it.
A final word of warning:
Don’t get too engrossed in your blogging .
You need a life in order to be able to write about your life! As I wrote in a previous article it has been found that blogging can sometimes have a detrimental effect on a person instead of the positive effect that it was designed for.
Try not to write only for yourself; it’s a public forum for others to read so try and write entries that will be of some benefit to the wider community as well as to you. Blog safe and have fun!
I hope you enjoy til next time.
