There are many ways to start a blog. Some ideas include using Tumblr, blogging software like WordPress or you can use RSS.
First off, let’s make sure you have all the necessary information needed to start and run your blog. In our next blog post on how to get started with my blog, we will talk about a couple of free tools you can use to set up your blog.
What are going to you do?
For now, it should be “just” (no big deal) to start a blog. But there are a few things that need to happen before you can go full-time and do your main goal:
You must have an active email account and a domain name. Your blog needs to be connected to the internet. If your blog uses some form of custom blogging software like WordPress, then remember to install its plugin. Most people start their blog with Wp. So if I am setting this up on blogger.com, then I would also add another blog at https://blog.wordpress.com because they can also access the site, but it wouldn’t have any special privileges or features. Your blog should have your website IP address. For example in case you want to have a homepage on www.example.com you can use just add your web host's IP address. Create pages (or posts) for your site. Create a sitemap (a document). Add your content to that sitemap. Once you have done these three steps it is time to launch your blog and start posting every day!
Some Tips
The first thing that you need to understand is that you can only write about 100 words a day. So think a lot and create a good article every 30 seconds when one of those 100 words comes up. Don’t overthink every word because that won’t help at all. The best way to learn how to write is to practice. Write like a kid. Be patient and don’t panic when you don’t finish. Just stay positive and make sure you get all the content down within 30 seconds. Don’t forget that it is not the end of the world if you can’t make 100 words in 20 seconds. Also, get a timer for your computer to show you every minute or so and think as quickly as possible. You want to keep writing every so often that there aren’t too many ideas. Get the feeling right away, because once you try writing something different then it won’t work.

And remember there is always room for improvement. Always take time to analyze each article and edit only those things that you like. And don’t worry about anything else. What if you made changes in the future because of what happened today? No worries, just keep doing so.

Writing Rules
Starting a blog means making money, so how much do you need to spend to earn money, then? Well, it depends, but I have found out that here, the average amount is $100 per year. That is enough to feed the basic bills and also to put some money into your pocket.
You need to know at least 1 thing about SEO. We wrote a great tutorial on how to do your blog SEO. Also, keep learning. Search engines are constantly changing and updating. People can find your blog through Google search or Bing search, which means that they can track your rankings. This means that your rank in Google has become more important than whether or not your website was linked to your main landing page and other content on the backlinks. It even helps people to distinguish between links from real websites and others that are fake. By knowing this little bit, keep building the blog where people can find it through Google and Bing.
When I began my blog I wanted to sell products online, but sadly no one would buy anything from me when they visited my blog. Then, after that, I thought of other sources where I could have sold products. On eBay, I used to have lots of stuff, but since I got back into YouTube and Facebook Ads I haven’t been able to sell anything except for eBooks. Now let’s talk social media: Facebook ads + YouTube videos = awesome ad campaigns!
But wait, there is still more to be successful at blogging. One of the core points for success is:
You don't have to have any special skills or knowledge to succeed. Anyone can start a successful blog if he/she tries hard enough
You can never let anyone tell you anything
If you are going to start your blog you need to do everything because blogging itself is part of your life
