If you just start a blog randomly without picking a trending niche or a niche which has enough monthly searches then you can't succeed from your blog. Your niche should be keyword specific with enough monthly searches. So that people should search what you are writing for them.

Since there were tons of blogging platforms newbies just go randomly and when understand the power of blogging they cry. To all newbies, I recommend you should start your first blog on blogger. I've written a post relating how to create a blog under 5 minute.

  • Connect your domain name to the server - After buying a domain name it has to be connected to the server. If you don't connect your domains DNS, HOST, LABEL, CNAME, ANAME properly then your new domain name won't connect your blog site. I had written a detailed tutorial on how to connect the domain name to the server. Check out and apply to your blog site properly unless your domain name won't work on your blog site.
  • Pick a nice free or premium template - A template is the design of your blog. A nice template gives an appealing look to your blog. If your template is professional then your blog or website will be professional. So, its the most important part to choose a professional looking blogger template for your blog. Also, a good template can enhance your SEO by providing you with many facilities. Check out 10 best SEO friendly template for blogger blog and make your blog looks professional.

Either you choose Wordpress or blogger as your blogging platform plugins or widgets adds additional value to your blog. Example, if you wanted to show recent post widget in your sidebar you have to add plugin or sidebar. Also customizing your blog covers webmaster setting, search preference settings, Off-Page SEO, On-Page SEO and more for your search engine discovery.
  • Write compelling contents Now you are just one step behind to start a successful blog. All the vital steps you have passed by for creating your blog. Now, its time to write some compelling blog posts. Before writing any post in your blog you have you to keep in mind that post which you are going to write should to be searchable in any search engine result (SEO Optimized) as well as readers friendly (eye catching article). You have to balance both the ratios unless your blog post wont receive any value. You may able to write a perfect readers choice article but your post wont be searchable in google or any other search results. You have to optimize your post both for readers as well as for search engines.

I just wanted to show you the real opposite face of blogging life.)

1.Blogging for Money: If you're thinking to start blogging for money, I recommend you just forget about blogging dream and leave right away. 

Blogging won't make you rich overnight. It may take years to build a successful blogDon't dream about blogging would make you rich. 

Most of the bloggers don't succeed to earn a single penny from blogging. Not a single blogger succeeded in their first attempt. It takes years to grab the success key. 

If you are able to provide solution to readers query obviously you can grow your blog and earn quality money by various means but that would take time. 

Before putting your step in this hypothetical world you think twice in your mind, are you really ready to spoil your 100's hours blindly. You never know either you succeed or not. Step in this world only if you are really enthusiastic about blogging and wanted to share your thoughts and knowledge with the world.

2.Internet Freak: As you will start leaning more about blogging automatically you will spent more time on internet. Slowly and suddenly your free time will disappear. 

In the beginner stage most of the time you will spend your time to change the appearence of your blog and try to customize your blog as of popular blogs which you visit for getting information about blogging. Being crazy all the time your googling query will change to all "how-to" stuffs. Among them, some of the most common were:

  15. Why my article do not rank on google?
  16. How to rank article on google?
  17. How to do SEO on blogger?
  18. How to do keyword reasearch?

Never ending list goes on...

In a simple word you will forget everything for improving your blog. By the way it's my personal experience obviously that will match with you too. I call this Universal Law of Blogging. 😜

3 .Coffee Addict : Whether you like or don't like coffee doesn't matter if you are serious about blogging and make it your passion soon you gonna coffee addict. 

Whether you agree or not a great article can't be accomplish without a cup of coffee.☕

Most of your daily fluid intake going to be changed to coffee.πŸ˜†

You will start posting coffee on your facebook and all social media accounts. πŸ™

4 .Traffic: Before creating your blog you might be wondering that it's pretty simple just by writing post it will be visible on internet and people will start reading your blog post and you will started to receive millions of visitors and earn money online easily.

Don't ever dream receiving organic visitors is so simple! You would have to spent insane time for On Page SEO, Off Page SEO, Quality Article, Proper Keyword research and many more things.

Don't grow any such hypothetical imagination. Seriously saying it's insanely tough to rank a post No.1 in google.

You have to fully devote yourself to rank your post and blog No.1 in google.

So, if you have any fake myth just remove that.

5 .Crazy thoughts and ideas: As you will start blogging and get yourself more in-depth about blogging you automatically started to crazy insane ideas.

Your natural life will become disaster.

Instead of spending time with your girlfriend/boyfriend you would prefer to spent time on computer.

You will start to grow crazy insane ideas to drive traffic to your blog.

You will start to spam everywhere on internet with your blog link.

Insanely you will start every single topics and concept into more explanatory methods.

You will read others post and try to put in action same topic you just read in your blog.

You're not an expert of anything but suddenly after blogging you will try to behave like as your are very much expertise in this stuff. But from inside you also know that it's hollow lOlπŸ˜…. But your life will change that way.

Your crazy thoughts and ideas will lead your ready mindset change tooπŸ™†. They will also started to thinking themselves expertise on something actually the topic which just now they learnt from reading your blog. I call this Universal Law of Virus.πŸ™ˆ

I gurantee you such crazy thoughts and ideas suddenly you gonna start to grow in your mind, you never imagined off will change your life. You will started to become active on social media more than a teenager to drive just a single visitor in your blog. πŸ’€

Dude that's all were real life my experience. Before stepping in this crazy world think thrice.
