How Do I Start Blogging? - Beginners Guide to Getting Set Up

By Tracey A Edwards

Your friends tell you they spent the weekend doing it, your favorite celebrity does it, and now you want to do it too. You want to know 'how do I start blogging?'

Blogging can be lots of fun and it really is for everyone whether you think you are a good writer or not. As long as you have a passion about something and want to write about it, you too can be a blogger.

If you are a beginner then probably the easiest place to start is with Google's Blogger platform. It's very easy to get set up using this provider and really is only a matter of clicking a few buttons, deciding on a name and you are done.

First thing you need to do is head over to Blogger.com and follow the instructions on screen. If you already have an account with Google (such as a gmail email account) then you can login in straight away without having to create a new profile.

The next thing is deciding on a name for your blog. Your URL will be yourblogname.blogspot.com so choose carefully. It's always a good idea to try and choose a name that is related to the subject matter that you are going to write about. That way it'll be easier for people to find you.

Choosing a look for your blog is the easy part as Blogger has a number of very nice templates to choose from, and you can even customize them further by changing the colours and adding header images if you like.

That's pretty much it to setting up your blog so now you need to get posting to it.

Good blogs are those that are updated regularly and contain original and interesting posts. It doesn't matter if you can't get to it everyday but once a week is a good time frame to aim for.

Now that your blog is set up, why not learn how to make money from it Many people are already doing so and you can too.

Tracey is a writer and internet marketer who knows all the secrets to making money online - well most of them anyway. http://www.traceys-ebooks.com
