If you are a beginner who wants to learn about initial steps of blogging before all then you have reached to the right place. Although this post is not only for beginners it is also a good companion for a typical blogger.

What is a Blog?

A blog is just like a notebook where the words fall from your mind in the shape of writing, you put your pieces of writings on it.

A blog post is like a topic which explains a particular piece of writing as what actually the current writing is about. Though there are many blogging platforms available nowadays but Blogger and WordPress are famous and very popular among them.

Blogging as Fun

Blogging is a fun you don't have to be a good writer it is not necessary to launch a blog, but you have to be open enough to share your thoughts to the digital world. You are on my blog right now and it is my first post as the current language isn't my native so you will definitely notice my English is not so good as it should be and may be few of my sentences are not making sense but I am still writing without having afraid. Basically blogging is about to share your thoughts through the words i.e. life experience, events, memories with your friends etc.

Find your Niche!

If you are good at something just like cooking, teaching, playing football or designing graphics just like me, just write about it.
 

Natural Ingredients of a Delicious Blog Post

• Peace of Mind
• Calm Atmosphere
• Time as Required
• Silence (or you could add some new music)
• A cup of tea! It's optional :)

Take a quick review of your Blog Post

When done writing a post, have a look through your entire post. Here I am not talking about to sort out your grammatical mistakes but to correct spellings if you had mistaken and make sure you didn't miss a single word which you want to mention in your post. Reviewing is a good practice specially if you want to give attention to the details on the flow of your writing.


Tip: If you are writing on the fly via the post editor, copy all content and paste in word processor such as ms word all the mistakes will be automatically highlighted so you can easily correct grammar and spellings.

Share Your Post – Social Media

Have you listen that sentence before as "sharing is caring"? Well we all are living in a social media era and content sharing is the best part of it. The blogging is also a part of social media because we write a post and people leave comments and discussion goes on. As you are reading this post, many of you have come through the different social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ etc., you got a link from one of these networks and so you are here. These are the major social networks which I have mentioned so don't forget to share your blog post in the same.


I hope I have introduced you very well about the basics of blogging as well as writing a successful blog post. Now you can start your very own blog and can write your first post, if you really enjoyed reading this article then share it with your friends and fellows. Happy blogging!
