How to Start a Blog [Quickly] In 2024

If you’re like most potential bloggers, you’re probably overwhelmed with just how many factors go into launching a new blog.

When it comes down to it, though, starting a successful blog really just involves a few steps:

• Build the blog: Set up and configure the blogging platform, hosting, and domain that powers your blog.
• Strategize and plan: Identify the niche you’ll write about and the audience you’ll target.
• Design the blog: Build the core pages and functionality of the site, making it look nice in the process.
• Create content: Create and optimize content that will keep your audience engaged and coming back.
• Launch the blog: Get the word out about your blog and let people know that it’s live.

As you’ll learn in the course, each step can be as simple or as difficult as you want it to be.

There are countless experts out there claiming that making money through your blog is easy, but let me tell you that it is not quite as easy as it sounds.

We’re bombarded by blogs, links and newsletters stating how this person ‘made a six-figure income’ or how that person ‘lives from the income their blog generates’.

Ultimately, however, you need to remember that making money with your blog takes hard work, dedication, and patience.

It won’t happen overnight.

You need to lay the foundation, build your blog’s scaffolding, and let it grow before the money comes in.

I’ll be with you every step of the way, offering you my thoughts, insights, and guidance. I’ll be there to urge you on and show you you can do it. It requires some work, like all good things.

By learning the proper way to build a blog from the start, you’ll save yourself a huge amount of time and avoid plenty of headaches in the future.
