Before You Write

There are a few things you need to do before you can start blogging. First of all, your going to need to know what site you want to use. I use Blogger because I trust them. Now there are only two sites I recommend you use, Wordpress, or Blogger. Both are a very easy to use site. Now the only reason i stuck with blogger is because they are reliable. I have used Wordpress before but I have had some rough times with them. My account was suspended and I lost loads of articles that i wrote. I liked all the extra tools that Wordpress had but Blogger isn't any worse. So your going to have to choose on your own.

Now that we got past that part, this part is tougher. I highly recommend that you write out your blog plan on paper or something like Word Document. I know it's not fun and you did this in school when you were a kid. Ya I hated doing rough drafts too. But I'm telling you that it will be ten times better then just coming up with information as you go. Thats what makes blogs look sloppy and not well put together.

Think of a topic that will interest loads of people, but most important something that interests you. I will tell you now that just because you see someones blog that is making tons of money doesn't mean you have to do the same topic. In most cases someone will write about things they don't know about and people wont read your articles because they are accurate information. Just write about something that you love and you will have fun while making money at the same time. I will explain more about this in the content part of this blog.

Plan Plan and Plan before you start writing. The best advice I can give you is to read other peoples articles about your subject and learn more about it. This will give you more experience in your topic and it will better show you an idea of how to write your blog.
