Must Read : How Blogging Helps Student Niche
This is the first thing you
need to choose,you should choose such a niche for which you are passionate and
you are well familiar with.If you’re getting confused among two or three niche
and can’t decide which one to go with then we would recommend you that niche
which is more popular,have large number of audience and quite profitable
too,such as technology,blogging,health,fashion,sports,celebrity news,review
etc.
Platform
Next thing is to choose the
platform you want to use for blogging purpose.If you’re a non-techy person then
wordpress is better for you than blogger due to excessive availability of
plugin wordpress provide and if you do want to blog with free platform then
blogger is better for you cause blogger provides more customization option than
wordpress when it comes to free.There are also some other blogging platform out
there like joomla,drupal,webs etc. which are not so popular.
Domain
Getting a proper domain
name with a top level extension like .com,.net or .org according to your niche
will help your blog to boost visibility in the eyes of search engines.
Hosting
If you choose to host your
blog by yourself then there are various hosting services out there,like
hostgator,bluehost,even wordpress offer hosting service for their user,but when
it comes to blogger you don’t need to have any host cause blogger doesn’t permit
you to host your blog yourself.
Theme
Next comes theme or we may
call template.There are various templates available for wordpress or joomla
within their system.Blogger doesn’t provide so large ranges of templates like
them but you can get templates for blogger in various sites even in TechTrickHome.So
if you are a non-techy person you can choose any of them or can hire any
webdesigner to build a template according to your niche.
Tagline
A tag line is really
important for any blog as it represents the blog niche. Tag line not only helps
you create a slogan but also helps you represent your blog in online sphere
with more confidence too. You should turn your readership into leads and your
leads into customers creating an effective tagline for your blog.
Plugin
If you’ve decided to build
your blog on wordpress then you should take care of some plugin wordpress offer
to build and manage your blog smoothly,some such plugins are Akismet,
AudiPlayer, Broken Link Checker, SEO by Yoast etc.
Content Strategy
Without a content strategy,
you cannot run your blog successfully. Before publishing a blog, you should
come up with a solid content strategy. You should know what kind of information
you will be sharing on your blog. If you are going to cover different topics on
your blog, it is recommended to divide those topics in different days.
Link Building
Before get started with your
blog you should start link building with your fellow blogger by joining various
social networking site community or by joining forum discussions.
Target Your Audience
It is always important to
target your audience before your start your blog.That way this would be easy
for you to serve post to your reader.
Time
Timing is also an important
factor to start your blog.As we all know at the beginning of any blog we need
to spend much more time to make it stand,so wait for proper time when you’re
free to work onto your blog and then start your blog.
Store Well Amount of Post
Write and store well amount
of post for your blog so that when you start your blog you can regularly update
your blog and get notice both by search enginees as well as your blog readers.

concentrate while starting you blog.If you do believe we missed any factor that
