Starting a blog can seem to be a daunting experience if you are new to blogging. In reality getting started is very quick and easy. There are lots of places you can go to start a blog or you can host one yourself using your own domain name.
Before rushing off to create a blog you need to ask yourself why do you want a blog. Is it so you can talk about your favourite interest or hobby, is it a personal journal or do you want to build a site which will gather a following of eager readers and which will earn you revenue.
Decide what the subject matter of your new blog will be.
Ask yourself if you can write regularly about your chosen subject matter.
Who do you think are the intended readers of your new blog? Is it something people are looking for information on?
Choosing where to host your blog can seem difficult. It is really a choice between using a free service such as Blogger or installing a blogging software script on your own web hosting. If it is going to be your first blog I would recommend using Blogger. You can be set up and blogging in about ten minutes. Then you can concentrate on learning about adding good content to your site and getting visitors to visit your blog and read your posts.
If you decide in the future that your Blogger blog would be better off on your own hosting using Wordpress then it is easy to transfer the content. You can import all your old posts from your Blogger blog into Wordpress blog by clicking a few buttons.
In conclusion, starting a blog is easy and for new bloggers I recommend using Blogger as you can be set up fast and easily. The only difficult step is taking action. So if you are still undecided about starting a blog go to Blogger now and get started.
