Want to Start a Blog that ranks in SERP 2023?

Well, that’s a good decision.

What is Blogging?

Blogging is a simple way of expressing an opinion of your inner-self or sharing information that is clearly genuine, authentic, and valid within the mass of the reader on a specific niche.

Let me explain to you with an example:

Imagine, Mr.Chris who is a certified chef wants to write about cooking materials and tutorials.

He wants to share his Journey, Ideas, tips, and tricks to entice readers on the internet, those who are interested to learn his entire experience.

And finally, he can create a healthy  Brand with a connection to the audience through real trust and belief by avoiding these Blogging Mistakes Smartly.

Nonetheless, Miss Annie is Fond of Writing about her daily activities, like her morning routines how productive the day was, fulfilled tasks and duties.

She is documenting her days daily in the form of writing and sharing her experiences on the internet.

Now we can relate to both of them as bloggers Who are Genuinely sharing their experiences with relative users.

I believe any Content without any meaningful consent is directly Worthless and Invaluable.

None gives a care if it does not provide any value to the reader who really wanted it.

That’s why, Provide value to your relevant users so that they keep coming to you and learn so much stuff, they want to.

Chapter 1: Steps to Start a Blog

1. Choosing the Right Niche that Fits You

First of all, I want to ask you this first question to yourself,

I truly believe being honest is a super valuable gift of being human, be truthful

and ask yourself, What is your passion?, and What you are great at or aspired for?

Meaning, you might be an award winner in sports for instance like Basketball, Football, Cricket,

Maybe Golf too, Who can produce content like, “10 Crazy Hacks to Shoot the Ball at Target”

You could be a Certified Dermatologist Who can Create a Personal Brand By Blogging on Topic Like:

“7 Daily Awesome Habits that Make Your Skin Look Younger and Brighter Easily”

Or, maybe you could be a Certified Nurse Who wished to Write like a Copywriter on: “Why Studying Nurse was the best decision of my life?”

Now, it’s your time to know who you actually are:

and start sharing the information and resources which is clearly understandable by breaking down points by points, so that it gets simpler.

Do You Know, Some of the popular niches as of 2023 are Finance, Technology, News ,Health etc

2. Checking Website Name Availability

Sometimes, It could be hard and difficult to register the name of the site which you wish for,

But do not worry,

 There are tons of names that you can try and check their availability and find it out precisely.

For example, I am registering  Programmingfaster as demo by breaking down each by each step.

I recommend using Bluehost, its simplicity, and responsiveness with greater statistics helped me a lot.

3. Selecting the Name for your Website

Checking the names for availability can be simple but choosing the right name gives you great recognition afterward when your website starts to get eyeballs.

If you want to create a personal brand like Kumarpradhan.com With Your Own name then, it provides the vital representation upfront with an audience

and gradually We can even create a Corporate Brand getting leverage from the Personal brand by registering with the corporate brand name.

I personally suggest all of you start small with a personal brand

and maximize growth leading to the creation of a Healthy Corporate brand that can last sustainably Longer.

4. Selecting Right TLD's/ Domain Extension

Most of the Websites are mostly registered in .com, .org, .net, .us, etc.

Fun fact:

If we Simply Register .com domain extension and grew massively huge after a couple of years then, 

there could be a high possibility of registering with the same Domain name with different Domain extensions like .org,.net, etc. by another anonymous user.

So, you have to be aware of your brand visibility by tracking its growth.

The specific domain extension is allocated according to country wise:

Like .np for Nepal,

.Us for the United States,

.In for India and so on.

For Colleges and Universities, most of the time .edu extension is used as an official trust while registering the domain name.

So we need to be aware of this issue so much so that, our brand does not lose its identity.

When you are just a beginner then, start small by registering with.Com extension at first then when you feel your business is growing bigger then, add the multi-pack TLD'S to the domain name.

But if your business has multiple subsidiaries or if it's a big huge startup then, you should apply to register your site by buying the maximum Domain extension, so you do not have to worry later.

5. Selecting the Calculative Best Hosting

I want to share a short and Quick Mistake that has definitely taught me an experience with you guys so that you do not have to face it again.

When I started blogging (in 2017) I wasn’t aware of the bandwidths and was not able to analyze the traffics and size of the content I want to publish in My Blog.

Eventually, I got caught up,

I was blogging Continuously regardless of being aware of the Hosting package I took at the beginning which was just only 1GB Storage Pack

and

Finally, the Storage of the Package got overly Filled and Suddenly, a Warning⚠️ Popped up.

I was literally shocked by that issue because I never felt it before

and I Acknowledged it’s okay to learn from the mistakes so that we do not have to repeat them again.

So,  I don’t want you to repeat the same silly stupid mistake I did.

Here are the three Hosting Plans for your Website that are hosted as:

• Basic,
• Plus(Intermediate),
• and Choice Plus(Advanced) Plans.

If you are a New-Bie then,

I recommend You to choose the Basic Hosting Plan which is Super Budget Effective

Everything takes some time to figure out, so as Blogging does.

If You are an intermediate Blogger, who knows something about blogging and wants to start full time then, I greatly recommend you choose the Plus(Intermediate) Plan or Choice Plus(Advanced) Plan over the Basic plan.

At the end of the day Basic plan does not Comprise High Storage and Bandwidths,

This means It could lead to facing a lot of problems in the middle of running time.

So Choose Wisely based on your requirements.

Adding a Domain with Privacy Protection is Crucial Which protects Website Privacy Including an SSL certificate to keep the site Virus-free and hacking-free making it a Secured Version.

You will receive the Login Link From Hosting Provider via Gmail/Email.

So, Clicking the respective link Opens up C-panel settings, and further changes are made from there.

Typically, there are Various CMS (Content Management Systems) Scripts on which You can install Your Website according to your expertise.
