Whether you want a business or personal blog, setting up a blog is easy. Simply sign up for free on Wordpress.com or Blogger.com. You'll need to create a username and password and select a theme background for your blog.
Decide what the goal of your blog is. Is it to document your travels? Promote your business? Provide news alerts of local music events? Analyze American politics?
Check out good blogs: zenhabits.com, thepioneerwoman.com, etc.
Design your blog to be clean, attractive, and easy-to-navigate.
Choose a good title: easy to remember, something that stands out.
Keep your posts clear and to the point. Short, poignant posts are best.
Proofread before your post. Don't post every unedited piece of garbage you have. Read it through first; make sure everything is spelled correclty; make sure it makes sense.
Post consistently. Keep your readers informed and hooked by updating regularly.
Include many links in your - especially in longer - posts.
Categorize posts by topic.
Post images at least every once in a while. This attracts the reader's eye.
