Have you ever asked yourself "What do you need to start a Blog?" Today you will learn about building your blog and what essentials are required to build a successful blog. so, let's dive in. There is a list of things to think about before you are ready to start blogging. These include blogging essentials, i.e., everything you will need to set up and create a blog. Having a list like this one is very helpful to keep everything organized from the beginning and plan your blogging strategy with more success. One of the first things to choose is a blogging platform, and today I will focus mainly on two blogging platforms. 1. Blogger - The easiest and low-cost platform, actually it's free. 2. Wordpres - It has a free version and a self-hosted which is a paid option. You might be asking yourself why these two? It's because they are the best to monetize and make money with and that is our aim right? To make money blogging. So, What are the main essentials required for a blog to get started? 1. HOSTING Hosting, also called web hosting, is a service that allows individuals and companies to create and make their websites and blogs accessible to online users. It is online storage you will use to store your blog data, starting from CMS installation to all the files and images you want to share on your blog. Platforms like Blogger and medium do not require hosting because you get one when you create an account. It is one of the features these platforms offer to store your data and make it available to online users. Having access to your own hosting provides much more control and flexibility, which is why a CMS such as WordPress.org could be your choice when choosing a platform. Of course, this hosting comes with an added cost, which can be paid monthly or annually, depending on the hosting provider, and the plan you choose. The best way to make a choice is to explore hosting providers, the features they include, and the prices they offer for their plans. Some of the popular hosting providers for bloggers include: BlueHost (I recommend this one it's the best) Hostinger Hostgator 2. DOMAIN NAME A domain name is a part of the URL which is used to access the blog. It may or may not match the blog name, but it is generally recommended that it matches the blog name. When you create a blog and host it with the hosting provider of your choice, you will need to provide the domain name of your blog. The complete URL starts with www. and it is followed by the domain name. It ends with a domain extension, which is most commonly .com, but you can choose other extensions such as .org, .blog, .net, etc. There are lots of domain registrar companies out there but for my recommendation, I advise you to use Namecheap.com as they have the best service. Make sure your domain is simple and easy to remember. For example; my site domain is kidigitali.com (Simple and easy for anyone to crame it) 3. BLOG TEMPLATES/ THEMES Either using blogger or WordPress make sure you choose the best template design to fit your blog needs and layout. There are lots of free and paid templates out there so pick the ones that look good and use them for your design. You can also buy premium templates from ENVATO MARKET: Themeforest they have a variety of templates for bloggers and WordPress. I bought the template for My Kidigitali blog there too. 4. WORDPRESS PLUGINS Plugins are installed on the blogging platform, and they add new features which are not a part of the core platform. Among the reasons why WordPress is such a popular platform for blogging, is the fact that the platform offers an extensive number of plugins, both free and premium. These enable blog owners to improve and optimize their blogs with advanced features such as memberships, landing pages, contact forms, content optimization (SEO), image optimization, backup, migration, lead generation, editorial workflow, etc. These are some of the best plugins I recommend you to have. Rank Math – Best WordPress Plugin for SEO Site Kit by Google – Analytics, Search Console, AdSense, Speed MonsterInsights – Best Analytics Plugin for WordPress WPForms – Best WordPress Form Builder Plugin Jetpack – For security, backups, speed, growth, and statistics. Pretty Links – Top Affiliate Marketing Plugin Despite the many benefits they can bring to your blog, plugins have drawbacks as well. Plugins may cause security issues for your blog if there is a problem with the code, which is why you should only install reputable plugins. Additionally, the more plugins you install, the slower your blog will become. It does not matter if all of those are reputable plugins, they are still a burden to your platform and may cause pages to load more slowly. This is why it is important to update plugins regularly and deactivate the ones you are not using. This list of blogging essentials includes everything that is necessary for you to focus on when first starting out blogging, regardless of the niche and the type of platform you will use. Try to create your unique plan including all of these essentials and how you will implement each into your blogging activity from the start
