Set Up WordPress Website. Most bloggers will ultimately end up building their blog on WordPress.
3. Blogging Tools and Resources
Graphic Design. Blogging requires a surprising amount of graphic design. Whether it’s creating an eye catching blog banner, creating infographics, or website design, your life as a blogger will be much easier if you at least learn some blogging graphic design basics.
Time Management / Productivity. Blogging requires excellent time management and general productivity skills are very useful. I use a number of blogging productivity tools to manage my workflow. This is especially important as a newer blogger, as it helps you stay accountable and reach your goals.
4. The First Month of Blogging
Content Production. Starting a blog will trigger a number of questions like how long should your blog posts be?, how often should you be publishing blog posts?, what should your first blog post be about?, and how do you structure a blog post properly?, among other things.
SEO. Blogging requires at least some basic understanding of SEO, so that you can write great blog post titles, create featured images for your blog posts, and write meta descriptions that draw in readers.
General Blogging Strategy. Blogging requires a well thought out, long term approach. Choosing a niche for your blog is a decision that must be made early on, yet it can have a huge impact on your blog’s success. Deciding whether you have the capacity to operate multiple blogs (having a niche site portfolio) is another example of blogging strategic decisions that must be made after careful thought.
