Business blog

If you want to know how to start a blog then one of the easiest ways to get started is by using Google's very popular Blogger platform.

Not only for beginners (many advanced bloggers like using it too); Blogger is one of the simplest and easiest blogging platforms to get started with.

The first thing you need to do is head over to Blogger.com and set up an account. If you already have an account with Google (such as a gmail email account) then you can login with that.

The next step is choosing a name for your blog. You will need to think carefully about a good name because that will be your website URL that people will use to find you with. It will look something like [yourblogname].blogspot.com so think carefully about what you call it.

If you are writing on a particular topic then try and think of a word or phrase that people would search for to find your topic and use that as your blog name. You can even use your own name if you are going to write about things personal to you.

Then you get to choose a look and feel of your site. Blogger has a few templates to choose from and if you aren't quite sure which one to choose don't worry too much. You can change the template as often as you like and you can even further customize your look by changing the colours and fonts of that template to something you prefer.

After you have chosen your look then you are done.

Now is the time to get posting. The best blogs are those that contain interesting topics or are newsworthy and even a bit controversial. Think about what you like to read about and use that as a guide.

After you start getting visitors to your site you could even try adding some money making features to your blog. Blogger makes it very easy for you to do that too.
