Over the course of years, blogs have essentially performed well. Blogs are like articles or essays. If you are a good essayist it will come easily to you. Even if you are not, it is okay, it is all about practice. To my knowledge, anybody can become a writer, if they are passionate about it.

First and foremost you need to choose or plan out a topic. Make a list of things that you want to cover and talk about. Once you have done that you can filter out the subheading about what you are going to talk about and how you are going to convey it.
It is very necessary to at least have a little script written so can refer to the notes without missing any crucial details. When you first start a blog you need to remember that audience is your main priority. Talk about things what PEOPLE want to hear!! No matter what you say or do, people want to know what is in it for them!

For example, if you are searching for tips to prepare an easy cake. You look for the ingredients that seem accessible to YOU! If something catches your attention, you tend to stick around for another minute. So, think about how you would react as a viewer when you first visit a blog. Give them something they want, to get what YOU want, audience!

· Rule no. 1 in writing up a blog, make sure you give helpful insights into your viewers and how they can benefit from your blog. First, you need to find what website works best for you and what exactly are you looking for! Multiple websites are easily accessible and cheap. For example, wix.com, WordPress, and blue host. If you are more inclined towards owning your website without any support of a brand website, Bluehost can be a viable option. There are so many options out there that you can choose from. Here is a link for you to choose the best option that works for you.

· CREATE YOUR THEME: Choosing a theme is very important for your blog post. It is very necessary for people to like the color coordinates and nice visual effects to stick around. Again there are already many choices on certain websites for themes. For example wix.com, Bluehost, etc. If you want to create your customized blog post, you can visit https://17thavenuedesigns.com/ref/99/ for inspiring theme ideas.

· DOMAIN AND BLOG NAME: Create and make your domain, to boost the views and website to be seen in SEO. To fully understand what SEO is, you need to understand some basics about it. SEO is search engine optimization, which means Google has access to your blog, and how it is important to elevate your blog to let people find it easily. There are a few steps process, that is available on the website to complete the process of domain creation and building up the website. This will help your website to be seen on Google and elevate your blog posts. You can also connect with Google Analytics to keep track of your views and the growth of your blog.

· CHOOSE AN EASY NAME: So, hey, being creative and conveying good points in your blog content is great! But, when choosing a name for your blog or website, you have to keep nice and easy. This means people worldwide can find your blog name understandable. Create a name that resonates with your blog and the content you put out. Make it catchy and inspiring. For example, WEBSITE NAMES: "ink and quill, "scribble dribble", "indepthscribble", and "scribbleaway" If you haven’t figured it out yet clearly I love the word scribble. Anyways you can create your own with any words that may grab a little attention. " Waveredby(your name)", "story hour" etc., are some of the ones I came up with it. You can get ideas online and come up with your own. Remember don't get discouraged, all words are made up anyway. Don’t look for the perfect word, trust me it will delay your process. As of now, create something you can work with. Because all answers will not come to you at the exact time and you’ll find your niche as you build up the blocks first.

· BE CONSISTENT: When you first create a website, remember to keep putting content out there and practice, learn, make mistakes, and change up your process. If you decide you are going to write 3 times or 1 time a week. Keep doing that and stay consistent. It is all about growth. When you start a habit, you have to stay consistent with it. Even if it's writing or exercising for that matter. The more you keep practicing the better you get. The more wrong things you do, the more you will improve and look back at how far you have come.
· Reminder: Enjoy what you write. Because if you already force yourself to write something really hard or something you find quite difficult to convey, it won’t be easy to stay consistent. Because when you start a habit, for example, writing per se, you need to understand that no writer just magically puts out content that is award-winning or is an international seller. It takes habit and consistency. Read more, educate yourself, and write about things you like or don’t like. So start small, write a page or para but make it good.
Look I will be straight up with you. If you want your blog to do good and have people coming back. Give people what they need and provide them with something useful. Make the readers feel good and sprinkle a little bit of your personality in your blog as well. Again, if you are a beginner, you can stick to the basics and improvise from there. Trust the process and stay consistent:)
