It's
very hard to find a better road map for any new blogger to follow. For example,
if you make a search for the keyword "blog tips", millions of pages
will appear on Google, Yahoo, Bing or other search engines results.
From
all of these, which will be best for you that will meet your needs? For any new
blogger it is be very tough to find out some easy, suitable, valuable tips for
him. Because there are so many Good Things on the internet that you will get
confused where to start! I personally face this problem, I started searching
for tips, found lots of valuable tips and downloaded e-books, saved pages as
bookmark but I didn't read all of those.
Most
of the bloggers writes about some basic criteria or starting needs which are
common and must needed. So, it’s very important for any newbie to follow just
one or two best bloggers blogs.
Start
reading several blogs today, you will find that no one is writing anything
wrong. There are many ways to create a better blog, you can choose any of
those, bookmark your favorite writer's blog and read whenever you get time.
Everybody is writing with their own experiences and views. So, the entire
system depends on you to publish a BETTER BLOG.
Keep
your main focus to build a strong basic in the blogging field. In my previous
posts I gave some tips for beginner blogger, which was a little bit
theoretical. After choosing a better and unique topic it’s time to do something
practical.

this post I am giving some tips you should keep in mind during create your
first blog with blogger, wordpress or other blog hosting services.

Seven
Tips to Start a Simple and Better Blog:
1.
Choose a Blogging Platform:
Since
you are interested in blogging, probably you already hear about some well-known
free blogging platform. There are many free and powerful blogging platforms
like blogger, wordpress, today etc. You can start with any of those. But for a
novice blogger, the most easy and suitable platform is blogger.com, second
wordpress.com. Why blogger is first I will describe these in another post. If
you start blogging with this, you will find the answer. If you want to build a
nice looking blog, you can start with wordpress.com. You can give your blog a
nice design; your readers will get really impressed with that.
There
is another option, called self hosted blog. At the beginning it will be very
tough for you to build a better and optimized self hosted blog, need more
basics knowledge about HTML. So start publish your article with blogger.com,
gather some experiences than you can jump to your own blog like a real
professional blogger. Starting with free platform is easy and it will help your
to learn a lots like me.
2.
Creation of Blog:
After
choosing your blogging platform it’s time to create your first blog and publish
it on the web. This process will 5 to 10 minutes to be done. The basic
requirement to open account is an email address. With blogger.com or
wordpress.com it will take some easy steps to complete the registration. Enter
correct information in all the fields step by step. During registration give
special attention to your domain name and blog title. You can read one of my previous
post on "How to create a simple and better blog" this will help you a
little.
3.
Domain Name:
Try
to include one or two keywords in your domain name and that related to your
blogging subject or topic. It’s very important if you want to apply some SEO or
search engine optimization techniques to your blog. When a search engine start
searching for any specific keyword, first it start looking searching in the
domain name for that keyword and 2nd time it start searching in the title or
description and others parts.
You
can consider my blog address as an example. My blogging topic is about various
secret tips to make online money. That’s why I choose hiddensecrets-onlinemoney, I have included three master
keywords “secrets” ”online” and” ”money”. Try to choose an easy memorable
domain name always.
4.
Blog Title and Description:
After
choosing a suitable domain name, give an attractive title and description of
your blog. Give a nice and easy understandable description of your blog below
the title. Describe what is your blog about or purposes of your blogging etc in
this section. Don’t provide anything that is not related to your blogging
topic. The title and description will appear on the opening page, so when your
readers will not find something they are looking for, they will leave.
5.
Choosing a Template:
For
any beginner blogger I will recommend to work with the default template at
first. The classic and other available templates in blogger.com are easy to
optimize for any new blogger. You can change your template any time. Initially
keep focus on writing article is very important. There are lots of free
wonderful templates for blogs on the internet. After gathering some well
experiences it will be very easy to optimize blog with any template which could
help you to bring more traffic. Then you can choose a template that reflects
your blogging theme. If your blogging topic is about motorbike than you must
not use an airplane template!
6.
Write Great Content for your Blog:
You
have completed above 5 steps, which means you are half way done. Now start to
creating post, it’s easy to create a post but hard to create a great post! Your
Title of any blog post must be related with your blog title. If your blog is
about computer tips than you should not write anything about Hollywood movie! Always
try to write quality content. Quality is important than Quantity. The quality,
topic of your posts is the main key of your blog traffic. Give special
attention for inside or outside links in your posts. Make sure there is no dead
or error link in your blog.
7.
Start posting regularly:
Great!
You are done! You have published a better blog.
Now,
this is just the beginning. A lot of hard works you have to do, so prepare
yourself for the upcoming struggle. Don't get panic, this is not so hard, you
need just use your brain, write from your heart, fully original content.
Make
posts regularly in your blog. Try to do it once or twice a day. After some
successful great posting (5-10), start searching for how to increase your blog
traffic. Success in blogging mainly depends on traffic; you need lots of
traffic, traffic and traffic to achieve your goal in the blogging field.
Readers,
That's
all for today! I will write next how to increase blog traffic. Feel free to
