How to Start a Blog as a Beginner
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ
الرَّحِيمِ
[In the Name of ALLAH, the
ENTIRELY MERCIFUL, the ESPECIALLY MERCIFUL]
I launched my Blog few months back so I am trying to make this post easier
to understand as much as I could for all type of reader who wants to know how
to start and what needs to be done to start a Blog. I tried to give all the
information the way I did when I started, so those beginner who know nothing
about the blog like I were, can be benefited from it.
Beginning
First, I will
tell you to maintain a diary of your work everyday and make a note the site you
joined and make sure you write down your password and user name in your diary.
Try to use different password [Just make sure you do not keep all the eggs
in the same basket].
In addition, in
your diary try to make and keep the entire note sequentially you joined or did.
Another thing you need to be done is to maintaining some text file in your
computer, one for your reference link, one for your login link [i.e. www.yahoomail.com]. When you paste the direct login link into
your address bar it will directly lead, you to the login page and surely save
your time.
Trust me it will
help you.

Try to have

First, for your Blog and all the
readers, friend
·
Second, for your all businesses
·
Third, for your online banks
2. Domain
Well I am currently
operating a free Blog so I will only discuss about it. However, if any one of
you wants to purchase a domain for self-hosting site then you may try it.
Anyway, to get yourself a free Blog you have to sign up for the provider site.
There are some free Blog provider site I am listing which you can try=> Blogger, which is
powered by Google itself, another one is Wordpress. Wordpress is for advanced user when
Blogger is much easier for beginner to customize their Blog. Nevertheless, both
are fun to work.
After signing up
you have customized your Blog the way want it to look. To know how to
customize, you can see my Blog, you can do the same but if you want to change
something then you can do it also in your Blog by modifying it.
Special
Tips For The Blog
·
When you choose what type of Blog
you want to start make sure you are choosing the right one.
·
The name of your Blog should be
special one and it should explain bit of [what you want to do].
·
Understanding the terms, like-
“Traffic” it means the visitor/reader of your Blog, “Keywords” You will see
this term again, again and again. This is important a good keyword [when you
choose the name of your Blog or the title of your post on the Blog] can bring
more reader. Remember Reader is the OXYGEN of a Site/Blog.
·
Moreover, when you post something
in your Blog make sure its send to the WORLD. How to do it I will explain just
keep reading.
3. Analysis
tools
To know about
your Blog and its reader and the overall performance of your Blog you have to
sign up some tools. Tools like-
Feed Burner [Keep your feed url in your text you will need it]
Google Analytics [It will let you know from
what part of the World visitor had visited your Blog with details]
4. Directory
When you are
done with the Blog settings and all other things and you are sure, your Blog is
ready then post your first article. Well then, next thing you have to do is to
let the World know about your Blog. How to do it? The answer is, you have to
submit your sites url [e.g. http://blackbunker9.wordpress.com]
to some different directory.
Remember when
you are sign up for those directories after the sign up you have to verify some
with adding Meta tag, or some with adding the
link in your Blog. To adding the Meta tag in
your Blog here is the things you have to do- if you have a Blog in Blogger then
follow these instructions,
The
Way of Adding the Code
·
Click in Layout > Edit HTML
> Put Tick Sign on Expand Widget Templates > under that you will find a
section <head> under this section press enter once then paste your
collected Meta tag
That is the one
way to verify Google and Bing. For others you have to follow the same
instructions until
·
Put Tick Sign on Expand Widget
Templates > Then you have to scroll down at the bottom > You will find
</body> on top of that you have to paste your Meta tag then press enter
to separate from </body>
To add banner
code or other code/widget,
·
Click in Layout > Page
Elements > Add a Gadget > HTML/Java Script > Paste your collected
banner/widget code > Save
I am telling you
to press enter to separate one Meta tag from others so that, if you need to
remove anyone of those Meta tag you can find
it easily. You will never know when you going to need what!
For the
Wordpress Blog it is easy to add Meta Tag. Follow these instructions,
·
Click in Tools > Paste your
Meta tag in given area > Save
For others tag
or code to add
·
Click in Widgets > Text >
Paste your tag/code > Save
Top SEO
Others SEO/
Directory
Addme <This site is my first choice because they submitted
my url in others SEO by itself without any cost.
5. Community
A community is
the places where you are going to interact and share your thoughts with various
people around the World. Moreover, one more thing you have to know is, in this
web World you have to be helpful. You have to be sharing minded; if you help
others then they will do the same to you. That is why it is community. In
addition, if you can maintain good relations with others the chance of getting
more reader will increase, because we all want to know more about our knowing
persons. Some of these sites are also directory of Blog.
Some
Community Site
6. Features
This is not
mandatory but adding different features in your Blog will make it more
interesting. By adding some different poll or Communications Widget can
increase interactions between you and your readers. To add this you have to
sign up with some features provider site. Like-
Features
Provider Site
Polldaddy [It is for surveys and polls]
Meebome [It’s help you to add chatting widget in your Blog]
7. Send
Button
This send button
is going to be very important for you after posting any new articles in your
Blog. Now what is send button? I found in my experience these send button is
those sites that will help you to let the World know about your article without
any fees.
Send Button
Site
After posting
any article in your Blog if you want to let the World know about it. Here is
the things you have to do, go to this site then submit your posted Articles url
and click on the send button.
8. Monetize
This very option
(i.e. Monetize) only for those who wants to earn money from their Blog; not for
those who do Blogging only for building social awareness. To earn money from
your Blog you need to capitalize it. There are three way to do it. However,
before you sign up for them do not forget to read their Terms and Conditions.
·
CPC [Cost Per Click] AD
CPC ad is those
Advertising sites that pay you money Per Click by your reader on their ad every
day. Note, you cannot click on your own page ad; it is restricted. By doing so,
you might lose your membership from that advertising site. My personal advices
to you do not join this CPC site at the very beginning of your Blog; let your
Blog grow a little. After spending couple of months then join with them. Choice
is yours.
·
CPM [Cost Per Impression] AD
This advertising
site will pay you based on impression [mostly 1000 visitor] of your Blogs page.
i.e. if any CPM site say – “CPM is $10," this means that the cost per
impression is $0.01. [Equation: Fixed Rate/1000=CPM]
·
Affiliate
By joining these
sites, you can start earning money. You can grab yourself an online store
without investment. An affiliate means niche marketing or to understand it more
easily let me explain a bit- By advertising/referring the different sites [or,
and] by selling the products from the selective sites you can earn commission
from them is known niche marketing. They need some one to advertise and sell
their product and among you need some one to give money.
To add these
sites banner code you have to follow the same instructions as I said earlier.
Another important question is how you will get your money well most of these
sites send money via CHECK and they support credit card too so it will not be a
problem.
Additional
Tips For You
·
When you post the article from
your Microsoft Word file make sure, before copying all the font colors is in
auto mode it will keep default text color of your blog for your article.
·
After posting the article in your
Blog keep your articles url in the text file in your computer.
·
Save your posted article in your
computer as a word file.
·
Maintain different text file for
different category [Login, Banner code, SEO, Reference Link, RSS, E-mail
address]
·
Do not keep and save your password
in any text or in your computer, write it manually in your diary.
·
Remember you need traffic for your
Blog you can get it easily from traffic provider site but all these CPC, CPM
sites they do not allow it.
·
You can use these traffic provider
sites as an advertising media for your reference link or any other business but
not for your Blog.
·
Another thing, do not add Pop Up
Ad try to ignore it, because most of the reader do not like it.
·
At the beginning it will be bit
difficult for you to earn money from your blog, but as it grows you will get
what you wanted.
·
So do not leave your job yet, keep
blogging as a part time and keep do some affiliate business. Later you can make
some differences.
·
It is your World, do what you like
to do. Because we do not like to call someone else boss.
When I started my
Blog I still remember the main hurdle I faced were whom to trust whom to not,
it give me a headache. I did some research, that time as a beginner I found
everything excited and everything suspicious but thanks to ALLAH I came
across all those time and met some wonderful good people from different part of
the World who helps me a lot, some did it directly and some indirectly. All the
information given here is only given because I did it that way. I believe I do
not have the right to say someone else to do the things which I did not myself.
Well I am done.
What else I can say to you. My final advice to you is-
“Whatever
you want to sell, you can sell it just do not sell your soul. Cause it belongs
to you and your CREATOR.”
Well if you need
to know any information just let me know do not bother. I will reply as long as
I am capable and alive.
Wish
You All The Very Best
