Why do you want to have a blog. Do you know what one is? Apart from the technical side, what do you want to write about and why? For pleasure,for potential profit? Narrowing down your motivations will help you decide on the theme, look and feel of your blog.

So having gone through it myself, what pearls of wisdom can I impart? I don't think its easy whatever some may say but it gets easier. It would have been helpful if I could have learned alongside someone who was also learning , perhaps only a couple of steps ahead; rather than a couple of miles! There are some out there who may be forgiven for forgetting what it is like to wrestle with terms like FTP and folders, themes and tickets, because they have done it many times before and with the best will in the world might leave out one or two crucial stages,because they are so used to doing it.

The one thing I can say is that you can get a blog going with perseverance and persistence and as long as you are prepared to put in the time and energy it takes, you will succeed. Just be prepared for some frustrations along the way.

When you are considering blogging, you need to think about marketing that blog and monetising it if making money is your motivation. There is a lot to learn but it is a great way to sell things using affiliate links and possibly your own products.

A few things you should consider before you set up your blog.

1. Its not that easy to get up and running if you are new to the internet and not used to doing much more than emailing and surfing but it can be done. It will take serious dedication and patience if you are going to make a serious business out of it.

2. You will need more than one blog if you are interested in selling in more than one field. Dont mix up your "lose weight fast products "blog with your "how to train your horse blog". One blog,one market.

3. Learn everything you can about blog marketing.How to set them up, how to get readers, how to get them to subscribe, how to get them to buy. There is a lot to learn and you can only do it in stages but as you progress,it will be easier to see the path to success. Keep taking action.

4. Learn something about SEO or search engine optimization or pay someone else to sort it out for you. You will need to optimize your blog so the search engines can find it.

5. Accept that you will be good at some things and hopeless at others. If you can't write, get someone else to do it for you.

6. Accept that you will get out of it what you put into it. It won't happen overnight.

I provide help and information on blogging for newbies. FREE tips for you,how to start , problems you will face and how you solve them. I have been there believe me!
