If you have made it through a tough situation in your life, and feel that you would like to share your story with other people who are facing similar issues, you may want to consider starting a blog. When someone is going through a rough situation in his or her life, they may choose to search for information online to help them learn how to handle or deal with the issue at hand properly. Death, cancer, child defects, charity work and many other topics are searched numerous times on a daily basis by individuals who need information, support or just to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your blog could be that light.
Step 1: Choose What Issue You Want Your Blog to Face
It is important to choose what you want your blog to be about before taking any other steps. Once people start to follow your blog, they will more than likely start to participate in the discussion. If the blog is about something that is important to you, it will be easier for you to keep it current and informative.
Step 2: Design Your Blog
If you are internet savvy, you may be able to set up your blog on your own. There are now many hosting sites that will walk you through the steps you need to follow in order to set up your site and some even have templates that you can use to make the perfect blog to fit your needs.
Step 3: Start Your Blog
It is important to realize that your blog is more than likely not going to have a million followers within a week. You need to ensure that your site is located on many of the search engine results pages. Proper linking, keyword usage and relevant information are the best ways to ensure that your blog can be seen by those looking for information that is found there.
Step 4: Keep Up With Your Blog
Many new bloggers are not as dedicated to their blog, as they need to be. When someone leaves a comment on your blog, it is important to respond to the comment quickly. Typically, it is ideal to respond to the comments within a few hours or a day at most. This will let followers know that you care about what they have to say and that the blog is active. Adding new posts on a daily or weekly basis is also important because it shows followers and the search engines that your site is relevant and current.
