How To Start A Blog From Scratch and with No Experience

This blog creation guide is created for users like you who are just starting out and knows a little or nothing about blogging.
Within the next few minutes, you will have your blog up and running.

Step 1: Pick a Blog name & domain name for your blog

Domain Name:

  1. Easy to remember
  2. Easy to type
  3. Easy to pronounce.
Just remember these 3 secrets when picking a domain name for your blog.
Name of your blog is the most crucial part for success. A domain name is the URL of a blog which a visitor will use to open a blog.
For example; www.ShoutMeLoud.com
A custom domain name is like www.ShoutMeLoud.com, for which we need to pay  $12/year. However, I have shared a trick below which will help you save this $12 on domain purchase.
Now, there are a few rules which will help you to pick the best name for your new blog. Here are some of the tips from my experience:
  • Prefer .com domain name above everything else.
  • Your domain name should be easy to pronounce and easy to type.
  • Make sure your domain name should not be confusing to the listener.
You can use Bluehost domain suggestion feature to check if your domain name is available or not. Simply enter any word that you have picked for your blog and it will also show you available domain name suggestions.
My suggestion is to be creative and follow the three rules I shared above. Here are a few things you should not do when selecting the domain name for your new blog:
  • Don’t use a too long domain name. Try to keep it lower than 12 characters. Ex: ShoutMeLoud
  • Don’t use domain extension like .info, .net and so on, because they tend to rank bad in Search engines. I always prefer and suggest to use a domain name extension like .com or .org.

  2. Keyword Planner is not free. You need to have an ad running over 3-4 months in order to get search volumes. Until that it shows only meaningful ranges.

    Moreover, that means you can’t just activate an ad for a sake of having a Keyword Planner because it will not show anything until you spend a lot of money on your ongoing ads.

  3. mainly use Google Keyword Planner because it is having all key statistics which one should need for keyword research.

    Apart from it, I recommend Semrush premium version for advanced filtering and analysis options for Enterprises to scale up their business to extend.
