7 Simple Steps On How To Start Successful Blogging

By: Timi Akinyemi

Before you start blogging, you need to first and fore-most decide which area of interest you want to talk about. That is, your niche. You also need to decide if you want to blog for fun or for money. Another thing you need is the determination to forge ahead, no matter the obstacle or challenge you may encounter on the way, especially when you are blogging for money.

Blogging can be fun, whether you are doing it for money or for fun. This specifically applies to people who are very creative (I believe everyone is creative, all you need to do is develop it).

Blogs can be created free, without you necessarily having a website. Some of the sites that offer this service can be gotten from Success Site.

For the purpose of this article, we shall pick blogger.com as our example and guide. The steps for creating your own blog are as follows:

1. Create an email account with gmail.
2. Go to http://www.blogger.com
3. Select 'create blog' and follow the simple steps for creation.
4. Sign in to your blog using your gmail account name.
5. Click on customize.
6. Click on fonts and colors. Use this to customize the look of your site. You can change the template, if you like, it will only make your site unique and different. (Remember to save your changes).
7. Click on 'Posting' and select 'create'. This will enable you to write your article. When you are done with writing, publish the post.

Simple, isn't it? You can now go back and start blogging.

My own experience on how I started blogging can be found in Success Site at http://www.success-site.blogspot.com/
