Hi Ryan,
The first site in the Google search results page was this one and this post has all the answers that I was looking for. Have bookmarked this page for future reference and will be coming back here again and again. Great content. Love the theme and the layout and the fonts as well. I know you mentioned in one of the replies that the theme is custom-built. Hope to have something like this for my blog also someday. For the time being, am stuck with one of the many inbuilt WordPress themes.
Thanks for the kind words, Sanjeev. Wishing you luck! It took me almost 5 years to get to the point where I was able to fully invest in a custom built theme—I used either OptimizePress or Elementor Pro to build my own site for the first several years, so I’d highly recommend one of those two page builders 🙂
Awesome content 👍
Thanks, Tarun! Glad you’ve enjoyed this guide.
Thanks for your sharing this wonderful guide, your article is very important for us. I will share the article with our colleagues. Thanks again.
Thank you very much!
Your blog is so helpful and I am inspired from you. And I started my new blog recently.
That’s great to hear, Anik! Wishing you luck with your new blog, keep up the work 🙂
Hey Ryan,
I’m very grateful that I have been heard about your blog and started reading it from last 6 months. I have started my blog just following the step by step guidance provided by you, also started earning some decent amount from this part time blogging.
Whole credit goes to you and to this post who changed my life. Thanks for being so helpful and keep shining !!
Wow, that’s so awesome to hear, Sandeep! Glad you’ve been able to implement my guide here, and congrats on seeing the rewards of the hard work you’ve put in. Wishing you luck in growing your blog to even greater heights over the coming months (and years)!
Thanks for the great article Ryan! I manually write my posts and publish. You mentioned “Trello” but how would that benefit my blog? Thanks again, Kenny
You’re welcome, Kenny! I use Trello as a planning workspace… so no writing of my blog posts actually takes place within Trello, but I use it as a destination to plan out my editorial calendar, track the progress of the various articles (and other projects) I’m working on at a given moment.
I have many doubts before coming to your website. Now I get a clear idea about starting a blog. I will implement it in my blog. Thank you so much.
Great content! The best out there, keep up the good work. This has cemented my desire to begin blogging, thanks.
Thanks for the kind words, Anietie! Good luck with the new blog you soon start 🙂
Hi Ryan, very inspired by your story and have already signed up for your 7 day course. To be proactive, I’m working on developing a pipeline of content for a few weeks worth of posts. When I first launch, would you recommend posting a single blog initially and then following a weekly, twice a week, 3 times a week cadence, etc.? Or can a case be made to post a handful (4-5) all at once so that my blog doesn’t look so barren with only 1 post?
Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words! Great to hear you’ve already joined my free course too.
In my opinion, you should publish new content as often as you realistically can—without sacrificing quality. If that means you’re able to write something useful for your (future) audience once each week, then great. If that’s three times every week, then that’s even better… but don’t push yourself so hard to publish a certain number of articles each week, that you burn out on your blog. You’ve got plenty of time to publish content, so starting with just one article right from the beginning is totally fine.
Great, thanks for the advice!
You’re welcome! 👍
Hello all
Hi Braaaaaaad 👋
Nice post written by you. it covers minute details and mind strategy to help anyone to start a blog. i have been working on a website for around 2 months now. like you, i strive to give a good content to my readers and usually work on improving the user experience. despite having at least 10 big images on each post, i have struggled to get amazing scores on gtmetrix and google speed test. main motive behind this is to retain my users and i believe in it. so i believe that consistency and good content and good user experience have worked for me and definitely works for everyone who struggles to get something good in life.
Thanks for the kind words, Ani. I’m really happy you’ve found this guide so helpful (and that you’re taking big steps with your own blog right now).
With your image issues, there could actually be a lot of factors contributing to slower page speed scores. In Google’s PageSpeed Insights report, have you checked out the specific items it calls out as adding to your load time? It could be that your images need to be smaller file sizes (compression) or it could be a range of other things like javascript that’s loading because of your theme, a plugin, page building software. Check out the action items you’re seeing in your speed report and if you have more questions, please let me know!
Thanks bro for this amazing information
You’re welcome, Pankaj!
This is a very good explanation of blogging. So many tips to start.
Glad to hear it, Priyanshu! Good luck with your blog.
Hi Ryan,
I carefully read this article and I’m grateful for the amount of knowledge it shares on how to start a new blog, for a newbie like me.
That’s great to hear, Adrash! Good luck with your new blog 🙂
Hi, Thank you for your help. Blog setup and WordPress installed. I am stuck on Logo design. Canva is producing very bad desigs. Someone shared this link with me on Fiverr. Can you please advice me about that?
Hey Olivia! Glad you’ve made it through the setup process of starting your blog 🙂
As far as logos are concerned, I’d actually argue that’s not an urgent priority to focus any time/financial resources on. If you can get something affordable created by a designer on Fiverr though, then that’s not a bad option at all! Just depends on your budget and how much time you want to spend on this task—but in my opinion, your time and money are going to be best spent on getting some truly useful content published soon & beginning the (fun) work of attracting your first blog readers.
Your blog is so inspiring and encouraging. I want to work with you in creating content.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Aravind! Let me know however I can help.
