Sharing is caring!

SHOW NOTES: Episode 96

If you are ready to start your blog, we are giving our 5 top tips on this episode! Between deciding on your niche and having the right mindset and all of the tips in between, we are breaking down these down so that you can feel confident in starting your blog.

Our 5 tips for starting your blog:

1. Decide on your niche and audience.

It’s important to decide on a specific topic for your blog and identify your target audience. This will help you create content that resonates with your readers and build that loyal following.

2. Select a blog name.

The second step we discussed was choosing a name for your blog. This name will also be your website’s URL and usually your social media handle. We advise taking the time to think about a name that is simple, clear, and easy to remember. We also suggest considering the topic of your blog and making the name meaningful to your audience.

3. Determine your purpose and goals.

Determine why you are starting a blog. This could be for time freedom, monetary goals, creativity, or creating an online space for your business. We encourage you to think big and write down your goals, even if they seem unattainable. Remember, everyone’s goals are different, and it’s okay if they change over time. Knowing your purpose and goals will help you stay motivated and committed to your blog, especially on difficult days.

4. Dedicate time and effort.

We advise you to be realistic about your time commitments and to take inventory of your schedules. We recommend setting aside 5-10 hours a week specifically for working on the blog, and suggest you block off chunks of time in your calendar to focus on your blogging business.

5. Keeping the right mindset.

We also emphasized the importance of having the right mindset. Starting a blog is starting a business, and it requires belief in yourself and the willingness to face challenges. We encourage you to view yourself as a business owner and take yourself seriously from the start. Challenges may arise but keeping the right mindset will help you overcome those challenges.
