Seriously speaking, I really appreciate this explanation on how to get started
Nice! That’s great to hear, good luck with your blog!
Hi Ryan! I really appreciate your blog guide..I’m writing you from Italy, and I’m ready to start my new blog about interior design and architecture..do you think that is compulsory to write in English or even in my language (Italian indeed) the strategies of promotion and ads are the same?
That’s great to hear, Veronica! I’d say the best answer to this question really depends upon how you hope to monetize your blog… if you’re focused primarily (or only) on getting local clients in your town/region for your interior design services, then I could see a strong case for blogging in Italian if that’s the primary language most people in your area are doing their online research/writing in. Otherwise, English has the most broad online appeal, which opens you up to a more global market of potential readers—so if you plan to monetize your blog with other channels (not in-person consulting work), then my gut would be to at least start with English and see how things go over your first few months.
Thank you so much! I’ll let you know how is going on my online adventure 🙂
Nice article, I learned a lot and want to write a better blog post for my site

Thanks for the kind words, Larry! I’m honored you’ve found so much value in my blog here—and I’ll definitely keep up the work 🙂
Wow, I’m surprised starting a blog is as easy as this, and I was thinking I’d have to pay someone money to create one for me.
Thanks, I really appreciate this info.
Yep! I always recommend the DIY approach to starting a blog to my readers… if you want to have even a basic understanding of how your blog functions, and be able to input your own content over the years, then it’s a worthwhile time investment to set your own blog up and learn how it functions. Good luck with your blog, Paul!
Huge article. Honestly it took over 3 sittings to read it. But I still have a question.
Sorry if I Skipped it in the post. I have a new blog and I want to rank for difficult keywords with high traffic.
Should I create them before or after the low traffic keywords which are easier to rank?
Good question! In my experience, it’s extremely difficult to rank a brand new blog for difficult keywords that have high traffic—it simply takes time and consistent promotion of the content. It’s not impossible to rank for high value keywords within a couple of months, but something huge usually has to happen (like getting your article featured by hundreds or thousands of high authority news websites/press outlines, landing a guest post on a very high traffic blog/publication, getting someone with a huge social following to share your content with their audience so it goes viral, or otherwise… more on the ways I promote my blog content here: https://staging.ryrob.com/how-to-promote-your-blog/).
I’d recommend choosing a ratio of writing slightly more content that goes after low-medium volume/low-medium competition keywords (say 60-70% of your content for now) in the early days of your blog. That way, if you’re able to write one article per week, you could publish say 1 article per month that goes after higher volume/higher competition keywords that’ll take much more time to rank for.
Wow! This is an in-depth tutorial. Can’t believe a complete guide like this exists on the internet. This is going to be very handy taking off my existing blog.
Great to hear that, Emmanuel! Good luck growing your blog over the coming weeks and months 🙂
This post is very helpful. I appreciate it.
You’re welcome, Paul!
Hi Ryan,
Thank you so much for your detailed guidance.
Let me share my experience. After going through and inspired by your post, I have started my own blog website to follow my passion!
I’ll be following your upcoming posts to improve my website.
Thanks 😊 again!
That’s fantastic, Raju! Good luck with your blog, and stay tuned for more content here 🙂
Teach me please
You’ve come to the right place, here! This guide will walk you through my process for starting (and growing) your blog.
Thanks for this detailed guide of starting a blog. I am building my new blog from today. Thanks for this guidance
You’re welcome, Yogesh!
Well done Ryan, you really hit the nail by the head, in fact, this is the best “how to start a blog” post I have ever come across. But I have a little question, how do you build links, I mean authority links to your blogs.
Thanks, Aditya! Really appreciate the praise here. I talk quite a bit (in section #5 about promoting your blog in this guide actually) about the ways I drive traffic/build authority to my blog… both in the years leading up to now, and how I’m still doing it today. I’d recommend starting by re-reading that portion, which starts primarily with guest blogging & getting some contributor accounts with industry/niche-level publications to begin really building a solid online reputation for yourself. That also includes the right social media platforms, using forums/niche communities and forming partnerships with other bloggers in your space. Good luck!
Wooowww!!!.. It’s really amazing. I have a lot of interest to start my own blog but I am struggling with my questions like how to start ? where to start? Etc… I am so happy because of reaching your blog. It’s clear one. And I know your blog will be help me a lot. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing contents to us.
You’re very welcome, Kavitha! I’m really happy to hear you’ve found this guide so helpful and are taking action on starting your blog now 🙂
Ryan I have another question.
For my game blog do you recommend making an email list or landing page using mailchimp
Sure! I think Mailchimp is a great starting point (because it’s free for up to 2,000 subscribers), but keep in the back of your mind that you’ll likely want (need) to upgrade to a more robust email marketing tool like ConvertKit—which I personally use and love—once your site begins growing. But for just starting out, you can’t beat free Mailchimp.
