Steps And Tips To Create A Blog

Brooke Whistance

There are plenty of blogs out there that millions follow for general themes, like: beauty, fashion, food or travel. But if you have a special interest, then you might want to consider niche blogging as a fun way to converse with a likeminded audience and create a name for yourself as an expert in that specific field. Take for example the New York City-centric blog called "Manhattan Minds". As the name suggests, it is a blog about New York City. However, it is one with a very specific, targeted set of interests for lovers of conscious, thoughtful living, creativity and wellness. Run by Mona Maine de Biran, a French Countess and founder of the disruptive beauty brand Kierin NYC, Manhattan Minds aims to inspire as well as to inform. The blog takes an easy approach to reading, designing its articles for consumption "on-the-go" while on a city bus or in the Metro. Creative New Yorkers, like artists, designers, models and stylists, are interviewed in Mona’s TALKS series. While she provides her own thoughts and suggestions on the best vegan eateries, French gluten free bakeries, and meditation centers as well as food-for-thought on wellness trends within NYC at large. A full-time working mom involved in multiple charities, it is understandable that Mona doesn’t post every day. Yet, she takes time to post consistently. Clearly setting her priorities on quality over quantity. If you want to create a blog, you might want to follow a similar path and get started with the tips given below. Choose a theme

At this point in the article, you will think that there are already blogs of any kind of theme and that they talk about anything. If we take into account that there are millions of blogs on the Internet, it will be logical to think that there will already be one that speaks of the same. However, a blog must have a personal character, and therefore if a good job is done, it can stand out from the competition. How to decide on a theme? Write about something you like, be well controlled, and know how to give it a differentiating touch. Thus, you can uncheck yourself from the rest and create your audience. The objective of creating a blog: a personal blog or a professional blog? When you go to create a blog, make sure you know the topics you would be catering too in those blogs. So, think about what you are going to write and if it can serve you as a way to sell yourself to the world professionally. That is, a blog can be used to enhance your personal brand. Be that as it may, it is advisable to take care of the contents you publish on it since everyone can read it. At this point, decide if the blog is going to carry your real name, or it will be a fictional name. Think of an attractive name

When creating a blog, one of the main doubts is that of his name, and that is not something banal. Choosing a good name for your blog is something very important and, although it will not be the determinant for your blog to succeed, it will have something to do. Before choosing the name, you must take into account three aspects: the theme, the objective, and the contents that will be published on the blog. In turn, the name must be attractive and easy to remember and pronounce. This makes sense. For example, if the blog is going to be focused on personal branding, a good idea - especially for positioning - is going to be to use your name. When you already have a more or less clear idea, I advise you to check its availability for a .com or .es domain (even if you have not yet planned to buy a domain).
