The web offers seemingly endless opportunities for blog writers. But with so many blogs to contribute to, it’s hard to know how to start blogging. Not every blog is worth your time, and a new blog can take a long time to become profitable. However, for those wondering how to start blog writing, we have some tricks of the trade to get you going.

The first step in starting blog writing is to figure out what you’re good at. For example, it’s always easier to start blogging about things you know well, so think about your hobbies. Are you into car repair or fitness, or do you know a lot about local restaurants? Whether you want to start your own blog or write for other people’s, blog about topics you’re already interested in. You’ll find that that makes the process much easier!

How to Start Blogging on Your Own

If you’re starting your own blog, the first thing to do is open a free account on a platform like WordPress, and get writing! Next, produce content on a reliable, consistent schedule. Further, make sure you carefully proofread and format each post to look professional. Finally, stay on topic, and use Google to find out what people are searching for. This will help you target a larger, more engaged audience. It takes time, but as traffic builds, you’ll have opportunities to earn money from your visitors.

How to Start Blogging for Others

If you’re trying to earn money to write for other blogs, search online for blogs that cover topics you can write about. Search terms as simple as “survival blog” or “mountain biking blog” can help you find the top blogs in your target niche.

Certain websites also help writers find gigs specific to blogs. And using these makes it easier to find opportunities all in one place. You won’t have to reach out first and ask if a blog is hiring writers or looking for paid guest posts.

Do you already have blogs in mind that you think you could write great content for? If so, send them an email explaining who you are, what you love about their blog, and why you’d be a great contributor. It can’t hurt to ask!

In Conclusion

Ultimately, the question of how to start blogging begins and ends with you—the writer. You have to be proactive, whether you start your own blog or find other blogs to hire you as a writer. All you really have to do is reach out to blogs in your niche, get comfortable with rejection, and come up with content that readers love.

The more blogs you write for, the stronger your portfolio will be, and the more opportunities will come your way. Identify your passions, and start blogging!
