The term blogging is very common to a lot of people but only a few know what it really entails also a lot of people do not know how bloggers make their money.

In this article, we would list out a few things one should take note of before thinking of running a blog because a lot of sites out there try to make blogging look very easy when in reality it is not.

Understanding what blogging is

A blog is a website filled with information on a particular niche. Also, Wikipedia describes a blog as a discussion or informational website published on the World wide web (www) consisting of discrete, often informational diary-style text entries. A person who manages a blog is called a blogger and the profession is called blogging.

In the description of blogging, we mentioned the work niche and it is also important to describe what it means because this is a very important aspect of blogging.

A niche is an area of specialization that a blog focuses on, for example, if someone goes to a tertiary institution to study the course mathematics and another Computer engineering then we can say that the niche of the first student in Mathematics and the niche of the second id Computer Engineering.

A blogger is not limited to one niche as some blogger publishes general articles and we would talk further about that in this article.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STARTING A BLOG

There are certain things that one should consider before thinking of starting a blog and if you ignore some of these things, then you might not be a successful blogger. The following are things that one should take note of before thinking of starting a blog:

Cost of domain name & Hosting fee

A domain name is the name of your website and every domain name is unique which means that no two websites can have the same domain name. Using a free domain name or a custom one was okay in the past but nowadays, such a website would not have any traffic from search engines.

The hosting plan would cost around $10 yearly also the hosting plan is renewed monthly and the amount paid per month depends on the type of hosting plan one decides to use. Finally, always remember that every trusted website would need an SSL certificate as, without it, the browsing data of your visitors is open to the public. Are you looking for a Web Hosting provider and where to purchase a domain? Look no further, NameCheap is the cheapest and reliable solution.

Monetization Strategy

If you are blogging for passion, then you can skip this step otherwise take note of everything written here. Monetizing a blog means putting ads on a website so that whenever someone clicks on the ad, you would be paid a certain percentage of the amount the advertiser paid to the advertising network.

There are a lot of advertising agencies and the most popular ones are Google Adsense, Ezoic Ads, Eleaver, Media.net, amongst others.

Niche

We defined what a niche is and also made it clear that a niche is one of the most important things in blogging that any aspiring blogger should choose wisely.  Before venturing into blogging, then ensure that you choose your niche and also consider the following before selecting a niche:

  1. The competitiveness of the niche you are choosing
  2. The popularity of the niche

The competitiveness of a niche is very important and if your website to be seen on the first page of search engines then ensure the niche you are writing is very easy to rank for also if the niche is very popular then the more money you would make if you are monetizing the website.

Common Mistakes One Should Avoid in Blogging

Whenever newbies want to start a blog, there are some mistakes they make that we would outline below so that you reading this article would not make it too:

  • Ensure that you give your users quality posts to read on a regular basis
  • Ensure that your main aim of blogging should not be money
  • Ensure that you have a schedule for uploading posts
  • Get traffic before thinking about the money
  • Ensure that you do not violate the google webmasters rules

Blogging is easy if you know the rules also note that once you start a website, it might take up to six(6) months before you can get a reasonable amount of traffic so do not quit on your blog because you are noticing a reasonable amount of traffic in the first three(3) months.
