Thank you so much for this guide!! Really appreciate your efforts. I am a new blogger. I started blogging in 2019. But, unfortunately, despite my efforts, could not make my audience grow. I don’t have much of the followers on social media channels as well. If you have time, can you please take a look and suggest something?
Thank you once again.
Hey Geetika, I’m glad you’re still sticking with your blogging efforts… it took me a couple of years to build up a meaningful amount of traffic that I was able to begin monetizing, so know that it takes time to get big results. From what I can quickly see of your blog, I’d recommend doing a good amount of guest posting (my guide on that here: https://staging.ryrob.com/guest-blogging/) to boost the number of authoritative sites that point to your blog, thus helping your blog increase in terms of how much authority search engines like Google place on it 🙂
Informative and amazing article, thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome! 🙏
Such valuable and detailed content for free. Thank you so so much. I know I definitely won’t get it like this anywhere else. Thank you Rob
You’re so welcome, Jessica! Good luck with your new blog 🙂
wow, this is such valuable content for beginners who want to start a new blog… thanks for sharing this info!
You’re welcome, Landry! Hope your new blog is off to a great start 🙂
Hello Ryan,
I am new to blogging. Thank you so very much for taking out time to publish this blog post. I launched my blog in June and have managed to grow it to where it is right now using this blog post. I followed each step CAREFULLY one after the other and I finally set up my blog. Yay!
I know this is just the beginning for me. I am praying I do very well blogging.
Thank you very much again. I have learnt a lot from you. I have discovered I can do what I want to do if only I can just keep pushing.
My only challenge is that so many people complain that they cannot comment on my blog posts. I am stuck and don’t know how to go about fixing that. It is very frustrating when you create contents and people cannot engage with them. My site is www.gloryinyou.com if you could kindly help me check, I will be very grateful. Thanks again.

You’re so welcome, Cheryl! I’m really glad you’ve found my content here so helpful 🙂
It definitely takes a lot of work to build your blog into a well-oiled business that brings in a meaningful amount of readers every month, but from what I can tell it looks like you’re on the right track! I actually don’t have any major critiques to offer, you’re seriously doing a great job already… your content format is smart (for the topics you’re covering), you regularly use images throughout your articles, you’re getting tons of comments on your pieces already… just keep up the great work that you’re already doing! Please keep in touch, I’d love to help out anytime you have a question I can weigh in on.
Great blog post… thanks for sharing such epic content with us all!
Ah, thanks Liam! You’re welcome—glad this guide was so helpful to you!
I really like this post. Following this guide I will start my own blog. keep it up!
Nice! That’s great, good luck with your blog 🙂
Hi Ryan,
Your blog is one of my favourites. I really love to read your blog. Now i want to start my own blog and other niche blog with best ideas. So any tips before i start my own blog from scratch? Your are great person Rayan. But i have problem which is my tense because my English is not so good. So what should i do? Otherwise, what is average time need for ranking? Any recommendation?
Thanks and Regards,
Ali
Hey Ali, thanks for the support. It really means a lot! My best advice for getting started the right way is all contained right here within this guide you’re already reading (and I frequently link out to my other articles that talk more about specific elements of blogging… like getting traffic, ranking your content, SEO best practices, monetizing your content and more). You’re in the right place, I’d suggest re-reading this guide and opening the links I reference for additional reading & advice from me 🙂
Thanks for this blogging tutorial
You’re welcome, Manoj! Happy you’ve found it helpful 🙂
How detailed a post this was.. so much information in one post.. and I like the QNA too, awesome.
Thanks, Pawan! 🙏
Thank you for such a great tutorial. I learned a lot from your articles to increase my knowledge. The way you write is very easy and understandable.
You’re welcome, Ayush! I really appreciate the kind words too 🙏
very helpful article
Glad to hear that! 🙏
Very informative and easy to follow! I read to the end and then watched a video.
Nice! So glad to hear that, good luck with your new blog 🙂
Nice work, keep it up.
Thank you!
Hi Ryan!
I’m working on my first post and would appreciate some advice. I’m thinking of something like…12 Timeless Personal Finance Lessons I’ve Learned (How You Can Use Them in 2020).
Here’s the dilemma. As I end each section (lesson), I have included some type of CTA or a link to another post in my blog that provides more detail so that the reader has a reason to stay with me. The catch, of course, is that since this is my first post, these aren’t functioning links just placeholders for future posts.
Would you recommend I still publish without the internal links and gradually update the original post over time as I add new content? Or create multiple posts before publishing so I can leverage cross-linking within my blog right from the get go?
Just trying to think of ways to keep the readers engaged with only a single post in the beginning.
Thanks!
Nice! That’s a great headline, so I wouldn’t push for any major changes to that at all.
Good question—yes, I’d publish this guide as-is without the internal links today, and just start adding back those internal links once you get more of those future articles published. That’s the only way to build momentum… because if you instead wait until ALL of those articles are ready to go, it’s going to be weeks or months until you get some content live. It’s much better to publish your content as you have it ready 🙂
P.S. Some of my best/most comprehensive articles (like this one) have been updated dozens of times over the years, so I’d recommend viewing them as sort of a living document that should be frequently updated as you can add more value to them.
Appreciate the prompt response and the advice!
I would like to get some quick, high level feedback on a draft of my first post once its ready. Is that something you offer through your consulting services?
I’m so immersed in writing that I could use another pair of eyes from someone who isn’t knee deep in it like me!
Thanks.
Sure! Just send it over to me via email and I’ll take a look for you—no need to pay for that 🙂
My ryan@ryrob.com email address is best.
Great, thanks!
👍
Coming your way today!
🙏
Wow, thanks for such an epic post. I enjoyed reading this.
You’re welcome, Patrick!
Hi Ryan! Nice work with this post
🙏
All I can say is wow. Thank you for this amazing explainer, Ryan.
You’re very welcome, Milton! 🙌
Such a great post.
Your deep level of research is a great motivation to every new blogger.
Thanx a lot, keep doing well.
Thanks for the kind words! Hope this guide was useful 🙏
Ryan, Great Article. Your the master. I would add Elementor the recommended plugin list. It’s so good now it should be part of WP.
Also, personal preference. That Black Constantia font you use for headings is horrendous. Its so hard to read and it sticks in my craw every time I get to a heading. Sad to see amazing content compromised by bad typography choices.
Thanks for the feedback! 🙂
