The Minimalists uses WordPress because it gives us more control over the look and feel of our blog, more creative control than any other platform. Oh, and WordPress itself is free!

1. Choose your blog name and get your blog hosting(Pick Your Blog Name and Niche).


First, it’s time to pick a name and niche for your new blog.

Your blog name is what readers will see first (like yourblog.com), so ideally it should represent the general topics you'll be writing about, or it could be your own name, company name, or a clever combination of words. . , in another way.

Your blog's niche is the general subject area that you will focus your content on. Examples are blog topics like travel, food, fashion, lifestyle, technology and others. Incorporate a word or two into your blog name that makes it clear what your content is about (e.g. fashionbyjane.com or Hikingwithryan.com), it will be very useful for future readers of your blog.

2. Get Your Blog Online (Web Hosting)


The second step in starting a blog is to get it online. A web hosting company will do that for you. In this step, you will select the blogging platform and web hosting plan that you will use to get your blog online.
The blogging platform and web hosting combo that I personally use (and that most other bloggers use) is a WordPress blog hosted by Bluehost.

WordPress is a free publishing platform that has been around since 2003 and now powers over 60% of all blogs on the web.Bluehost is one of the most established and trusted companies in the blog hosting industry. We use this combination to start your blog. Now let's set up your hosting.

3.Design Your Blog with a Free WordPress Theme


Now that we’ve gotten through the crucial setup phase of starting a blog, it’s time to have a little more fun.

Designing your WordPress blog is when you might start to feel a little friction with this process though (if you’ve never worked on a blog before), but I promise this won’t get too technical.


How to Start a Successful Blog in 2023


Plus… the last thing I want is for the very minor technical side of starting a blog to derail your progress today. That’s why, in my free course How to Build a Blog in 7 Days, I break this technical setup process down into an even more actionable, step-by-step checklist for you.

"If you want to start a blog and make money as a blogger, WordPress is the best blogging platform"
Let’s cover some basic terminology, so you understand why WordPress is the right platform (also known as a Content Management System or CMS) to run your blog on.

4. Write Your First Blog Post


You don’t read a blog because it looks nice or because they publish frequently. (Although those both help).

Read the blog because you care about what it says. Creating quality content will attract readers and ultimately help you make money from blogging.


How to Start a Successful Blog in 2023



Before we get too far with your blog business plan, content planning, and writing your first blog post, you need to answer one simple question...why?

⦁ Why do you care for the topic you’re blogging about?
⦁ Why should other people listen to what you’re saying?
⦁ Why is this a blogging topic you can add real value to?


To answer these questions, I like to think of a blog like any other business and re-emphasize the importance of picking a clear niche.

5. Promote Your Blog to Get Readers and Traffic


Now that we’re heading into 2023, we can look back and see that my blog brought in 4.4 million+ readers last year alone. We’re going to use my experience in going from starting a blog—to quickly driving millions of readers to my content. What do you do once you’ve hit publish on your first blog posts? It’s time to learn how to promote your blog content.
That's why I'm hired by companies like LinkedIn, Zendesk, Adobe, Close, Intuit and others as a consultant - to write content for their blogs, teach them how to promote their content and attract new readers.


How to Start a Successful Blog in 2023



Here are a few of the best ways to start sharing your blog posts and getting them in front of new readers. And if you want even more strategies, here’s my guide to learning how to drive traffic to your website where we dig even deeper into the tactics I’ve used to grow my blog to millions of yearly readers.

A. Using Social Media to Promote Your Blog
B. Look for the social channels that give you the best return
C. Guest Blogging on Other Relevant Blogs and Sites like Medium, Quora & Linkedin
D. Forums and Message Boards for Bloggers
E. Using an Email Newsletter to Grow Your Blog Audience
F. Other Ways to Promote Your Blog and Get More Blog Traffic

6. Make Money from Your Blog


I share this not to brag, but so that you’ll understand I know what I’m talking about when it comes to starting a blog and making serious income with it. Moreover, I’ll be the first to tell you that these kinds of income figures aren’t typical with blogging—and that it’s taken me 6+ years to reach this point in my blog business.

There's a reason why the section on generating money from your blog is at the conclusion of our blog-starting tutorial. You can't expect to generate money right immediately unless you already have a large following somewhere—monetization should not be your primary emphasis right now, but rather something to strive for.

How to Start a Successful Blog in 2023



Furthermore, how you monetise your site will change based on the sort of blog you have. A lifestyle blog, for example, will use different revenue tactics than a personal blog, parenting blog, culinary blog, or travel blog.

Even so, it's a good idea to have a plan for how you want to earn money blogging as you go on this new adventure, especially if you favour passive income. Several of these monetization methods


⦁ Freelancing (Selling Your Services)
⦁ Affiliate Programs
⦁ Sponsored Blog Content
⦁ Online Courses
⦁ Traditional Blog Advertisements (Ad Networks)
⦁ Podcast Sponsorships
⦁ Physical Products (eCommerce) and Software Tools
⦁ Business Partnerships

AI: Your new writing buddy?

By
  Artificial intelligence, whatever  that means, has been much criticised of late. AI is a thief, a cheat, a hoax, a way of passing off another's work as your own. Worst of all, it has even been said that it will one-day bring about the extinction of the human race. As if we didn't already face enough Armageddon scenarios, from climate change to nuclear war, we now face another from AI, The Terminator. Ever keen to learn for myself what AI can and can't do, I have embarked on a journey of discovery to find out how useful artificial intelligence tools like Bing AI (based on Open AI's GPT-4 technology) can be. I have also made another attempt at image generation. Previous attempts have been none too successful. How about the featured image above, which was generated from Bing's new GPT chat window? To create it, I used the request (second attempt) "generate an image of a robot sitting at a table with a manual typewriter, viewed from behind." I then selected ...
