If you are thinking about starting
A blog, you are sure to have many doubts, it is normal, perhaps you do not know where to start or perhaps you have more or less tried to get an idea online and you have found something like magic formulas, purchases, offers anyway you end up going off topic and rightly so, I do not intend to sell you or overwhelm you with promotions I do not have magic formulas but experience and advice that you can apply or not.
In this post I am going to talk to you about things that you should take into account before starting or when you start, they are basic and will give you an idea of whether you are going to be able to get your blog up and running with more or less difficulty.
The theme is the main point and the most important, everything revolves around it, apart from knowing what kind of audience it can have and how to connect you should ask yourself some questions: What does your blog talk about? And how much do you know about the topic you are going to write about?
It is not advisable to disperse the theme too much, it is preferable to have two or three blogs than to have a blog with too many different categories and without a theme relationship because this can tire the public imagine that you subscribe to a blog because you like its nail care posts and manicure and they send you cars and tennis because it’s also about that in the end you’ll unsubscribe because there are topics that don’t interest you.
It is important to think that If you want to create a reference blog, it is very important to have a clear theme on a topic, there are more complex topics than others. The time it takes to write and update a blog, Oddly enough, it takes many hours; write a post, search for photos, search for information and there are times when it can be much more; take photos, edit, make tutorials, record videos that’s why you should take into account the time you can dedicate to it and think about whether you will be able to maintain a certain frequency to keep your followers.
It is very important that you think about optimizing your time although there are many ways to do it both to save time writing entries and improve and automate the time we spend managing social networks planning is something that if you learn to do from the beginning will prevent you from “burning out” before your time.

One of the greatest virtues of a blogger is constancy , without constancy in the content, in the frequency, in the quality your blog is you may end up losing into oblivion.
Being constant with the publications and more or less frequently is a way to strengthen the public, after all, I usually wait for Monday to arrive to read a new post.
The design and development of the blog, is the most delicate part with which we all have to fight, not everyone likes the design and for many it is a Chinese torture to update something or change the design, while other people love it me for example. Obviously if you don’t have much knowledge but you have a lot of free time you can immerse yourself in tutorials and dedicate more effort to it, on the other hand if you can’t or you don’t like it there is the alternative of hiring or looking for professional services that give you a hand, it doesn’t have to be the entire blog but if you can ask for help for very specific things, do not get overwhelmed with topics like this as you will see , the most important thing is the content , there are people who commission the design of their blog and it is the most normal thing in the world.
The image of the blog falls on the design , that is why it has to be consistent with the content and theme, the design is the ambassador in front of the readers, that is why it is a very important aspect that we will deal with in depth later. Within the design there are aspects such as the choice of the very important template. Originality and freshness, for me they are the ingredients of success, without them everything you do will seem like a copy, differentiate yourself from others and offer something different.
It seems silly but if you take photos, you need a good camera, hosting, a nice place to record… Also keep in mind that many may depend on third parties and some have a cost.
A blog can be completely free if you do it with blogger or wordpress.com. In the case of blogger, it is a very good option, I recommend blogger especially to people who do not want to be constantly aware of the technical aspects that WordPress constantly requires. Try to get the best digital reputation you can and promote your content in groups. This supposes more time and extra work but whoever wants something costs him something and the networks take a long time or a little depending on how you want to carry it, there are few blogs that do not have social networks. You must also have platforms and news aggregators to promote yourself. SEO and web positioning. SEO is essential so that your blog is not lost in oblivion, and you can reach the public, most of the readers are thanks to search engines, therefore you must dedicate a lot of time to SEO. As much as there are people who think that it is not
In the end, some SEO is necessary and they end up doing it because if the visibility on the internet is zero, it is a pity that the effort you put into writing is not properly rewarded for the simple fact of not paying a little attention to such simple aspects as on-page SEO. Well, these are very simple and basic things to implement before having a blog to get off to a good start from scratch.
