If you want assistance in getting started blogging then you are in the right place at the right time. I have released a few articles about blogging lately, but they have not really had anything to do with the basics or how to actually start up a blog. So in this article I will go back to the drawing board so to speak and share some tips with you on how to have the best start possible in both creating a blog, and setting it up so you can start getting traffic on a daily basis.
In getting started blogging there are a couple of things you need to do before hand. The first thing you need to do is sort out your hosting. Without this, you will not have a blog or any type of site on the World Wide Web. There are many hosting services which you can choose from with a range of different prices. One service is Hostgator. I have been using these guys for quite a while now and have not encountered any problems thus far. They are also quite cheap as you can get a hosting package for around $10 or less a month. The support is also great and so is the level of professionalism. With that said when it comes to hosting, I would advise anybody to go with these.
The second thing you need to think about when getting started blogging is your domain name. Some people may actually do this before the hosting but either way it makes no difference because you need both of them as much as they need each other. One thing I would say to do is choose your domain or blog name, around a search engine friendly keyword. This basically means do some keyword research when coming to pick your name which can be done via the Google keyword tool. I actually did not do this because I was not aware of it at the time, but this can be a good thing because it could help you in getting better search engine rankings in a shorter period of time. Do not try and run before you can walk or take one step forward and skip two because getting the basics right is a necessity, and can give you a solid head start online.
Once you have your domain name and hosting sorted, before getting started blogging you will have to set up your name servers towards your hosting service. You will or should get an e-mail from whatever hosting company you chose telling you how to do this. Once this is done it will take around 24-48 hours before your blog will be visible on the net. Once that finally happens, and you can test it by typing in your domain name in the address bar, you will be ready to dominate the search engines and start your journey to blogging success. One way of getting started blogging and dominating, is by picking a niche you want to talk about and then do some keyword research based around that niche.
I hope this article has helped you in some way or has answered any questions you may have had. I wish you all the best in beginning your journey to getting started blogging and look forward to seeing your blog up and running. :-)
