Starting a blog has been made much easier now and especially with blogging  platforms like blogger and wordpress , starting a blog is like a walk in the park nowadays .So here are the steps that you should take  to create a blog :

FOR STARTING A BLOG WITHOUT ANY INVESTMENT ::

1. There are two best options for you to start a blog :

wordpress.org

2.if your intention is to earn money through blogging , then free wordpress blogs are not for you.

3.so if your desire is earning money then you should go for blogger.com .

FOR BLOGGERS WHO ARE READY TO SPEND SETTING UP A BLOG :

1.And for those of you who dont mind spending money so as to create a beautiful well-designed professional looking blog , WORDPRESS is the best !! No blog platform could ever reach the customizations that wordpress offers .

2.So first of all decide a host for your blog . here is a list of them [ provided by wordpress ] :

http://wordpress.org/hosting/

3.You should now choose your niche – the topic on which your blog is to concentrate.it is always better to take up a little bit less competitive niche and a very narrow niche .

4.by a “narrow niche ” , i mean to say that it is always best to start a blog about “windows tips ” than starting a blog about “operating systems” .

5.Take longer time to decide on the domain name – people are always ambiguous about whether google considers it as a factor or not .But there is no harm in spending a little more amount of time on deciding your domain name .

6.After you purchase the domain and the file hosting , start your blog by selecting a neatly designed wordpress theme.There are so many of them available for free .for example here is my favourite :

It is called “structure” wordpress theme .

7.Then you may also try adding plugins – for adding various functions to your blog .

Always have faith in your yourself and never give up – keep posting and keep using social sites.one day , there is higher chance that you will become a pro in blogging .All the best .
