How to start Blogging?

Blogging is one of the best ways to make money online for you if you have knowledge about anything about which people are curious. In order to start blogging, you have to create a website or blog and then share knowledge about a specific topic which may be technology, health or any other topic.

Here are a few things which you will need in order to start blogging:

Choose a Niche:

Choosing a niche for your Blogger is a very important step because without it you would not be able to determine your destination. If you want to become a professional blogger then choosing a specific niche is your key to success in blogging.
Suppose that you have to choose a health niche. Now you have to create a blog post about health only because it is niche blogging.

Purchase a domain:

After choosing a niche, you have to buy a specific domain name for your blog.
For example, you have chosen the healthproblems.com domain name.

Note:

Your domain name should contain your keyword on which you rank your blog.
For example, in the above example "health problems" is a keyword on which you will rank your blog.

Purchase hosting for your blog:

After purchasing a domain name, you have to buy hosting for your blog because it is essential. Then you have to install WordPress on your hosting and make a professional blog in 10 minutes.
But if you can not afford the hosting, you can also use free hosting or create your blog on that platform that provides you free hosting such as Blogger. You can make a free and professional blog on Blogger without investment even a single penny. 
But you should have to purchase a domain name in order to show the Google AdSense ads on your blog.
You can also use affiliate marketing and other ad networks to earn money from your blog.

Write articles:

After creating a blog, you have to create articles about your niche. For example, if your blog is about health problems then you will have to post all articles about health problems. 

Note:

Before publishing an article do some keyword research. For example, if you are writing articles about "hair loss" then you have to search related keywords for which people are searching.
For this purpose, you can use different keyword tools. I recommend you to use the Google keyword planner because it is free. You have to create a Google AdWords account to use this free tool.
