My name is Ravulacharan, and I am going to show you how to start blogging today. I have been building blogs and websites since 20022. In that time I have launched several of my own blogs, and helped hundreds of others do the same.

So, just how do you start a blog?

Learn how to create a blog in about 20 minutes following these steps:

How to Start a Blog in 6 Steps

1. Pick a blog name. Choose a descriptive name for your blog.
2. Get your blog online. Register your blog and get hosting.
3. Customize your blog. Choose a free blog design template and tweak it.
4. Write & publish your first post. Share your thoughts with the world. The fun part!
5. Promote your blog. Get more people to read your blog with the proper marketing.
6. Make money blogging. Choose from several options to monetize your blog.

Should you start a blog?

One of the misconceptions about starting a blog is that you need to be a great writer to be successful. Nothing could be further from the truth. People read blog sites to get a personal perspective on things, so most bloggers write in a very informal and conversational style.

And because of the format, many successful bloggers will write about a variety of topics on the same blog.

In addition, you don’t need to be an expert on any of the topics you write about to have a successful blog. For example, visitors to a cooking blog don’t want to read a textbook from a food scientist, they want to hear the experiences of someone who has actually cooked some real meals, mistakes and all.

To be successful as a blogger there is really just one requirement: a passion for your topic.

At its heart, blogging is about sharing your knowledge with the world. Writing about things that you are passionate about makes the process of starting a successful blog so much easier. As long as you are writing about things that you are genuinely interested in, your passion will shine through and keep your visitors interested.
