Welcome to my Start A Blog: A Step by Step Guide on Blogging Series
In this blog series we will discuss how to build a blog from scratch. And to make it easier for you, I divided this series into 5 stages.
- Planning
- Setup
- Writing
- Marketing
- Monetizing
This series is the collection of steps I took on starting this blog, Jnella, and what I’ve learned since I was still a baby blogger to now, that I can run a blog on my own.
In this series you should…
- Follow closely.
This is a Step by Step Guide, so if you’re proceeding to the next step without doing the previous step, then you’re doing this wrong.
- Take action.
I know some people just read and research over and over again and wait somehow for the “perfect” time, the “perfect” mood.
I’ve been there, stuck on the research phase not even realizing that I’m wasting my time reading articles talking about the same thing again and again and still doing nothing.
So this is why I wrote this series, to provide you with both the information to get started and actionable steps to make sure you’re actually going forward and not just consuming information and having the illusion that you’re taking “action”.
- Start now.
If you’re reading this then you most likely already have the intent to start a blog so why wait.
Just. Start. Now.
By the end of this series you should have
- An up and running blog.
- Knowledge about starting and running a blog.
Really quick Q&A
Before we take the plunge I’ll first take the opportunity to answer some doubts and questions you might have on blogging.
