Sister, it's best you search. There are many great teachers but the ones I understand may not be the ones you understand.

I'm independent and I love doing things myself. So the videos I watch are scattered because If I want to do blogging I just search for Google tutorials and start fumbling with or WordPress till I hit a dead end then I run to YouTube.

But you may be the kind of person who may need guidance from scratch. That's not me.

So please type "Blogging For Beginners" in YouTube and Google then start following the steps

Well, the truth is, you can't learn everything there is to blogging in a single forum reply.

But I'll drop a few golden nuggets that can set you on the path to successful blogging.

1. You need to hone your writing skills. I don't know how good you are as a writer. But having solid writing skills is a must-have requirement for blogging, especially if you're targeting beyond the Nigerian audience. So, if you're not confident enough in your writing skills, you might want to take some time to work on that first.

2. Choose a niche that a lot of people are really interested in and that they search the web for information about. More importantly, write on topics that people want to read -- not what you think they would like to read or what you feel like writing on. If you're blogging for just fun, it's okay to write on anything. But if you really want to make money from blogging, you have to see it as a business and give people exactly what they want. To understand what people really want, you must learn and understand keyword research.

3. Don't waste your time on unnecessary stuff like trying to perfect your blog's design or getting it to look exactly like another blog you found. Trust me, nobody visits a blog to admire its design. People visit blogs for information that would help them.

4. For a start, don't bother yourself about making money. Building traffic, followership, and establishing yourself as an expert comes first. Only after you've achieved these should you start thinking of monetization. So, now isn't the time to spend hours reading stuff on Adsense, affiliate marketing, or other monetization options.

5. You must be patient. It might take up to many weeks to months to start generating decent traffic consistently. So, if you're looking at blogging as the sure way to help you settle some debts or start earning about N100,000 monthly from next month, go find a job!

6. Don't waste too much time reading stuff about blogging. There are loads of stuff online that are downright contradictory and confusing. And you'd come across tons of technical stuff that you don't really need for now. So, don't fall into the pit called "analysis paralysis".

7. Avoid starting on a free platform such as Blogger or . We've gone past the age where people and search engines take freely hosted blogs seriously. Setting up a self-hosted WordPress blog shouldn't cost you more than N15,000.

8. Be consistent. The major task involved in blogging is content creation. That is, writing new articles. Bear in mind that you have to do this on a frequent basis. Consider thrice weekly at least. But more importantly, be consistent with whatever number of articles you set for yourself.

9. Avoid being swindled. I can tell you categorically that, for now, you don't need anything like backlinks or other shitty services that some people might pitch at you just to swindle you of your hard-earned money. So, before paying for anything, be sure that it's something you really understand and are sure you really need.

10. Find a good mentor. Your best bet is a Nigerian blogger who has years of experience under his/her belt and has achieved multiple forms of success through blogging. You can also find and join Facebook and Whatsapp groups for Nigerian bloggers. Now, there are many groups out there where loads of useless, irrelevant, and opinionated stuff are being recycled. Avoid those!

PROS.

Starting a blog is easy.

A blog gives people a reason to visit your website.

It can help create a sense of community.

A blog is a living archive of personal sources of inspiration.

The outreach can be incredible.

Enables you to write down your thoughts on anything that interests you.

Whatever you publish is available for everyone to see. If you write a post in anger you might regret it later.

Very quick and easy to set up, don't need much technical knowledge Personal blogs may be biased or contain inaccurate information.

Easy and quick to update or add new postsBlogs can be time consuming.




CONS

A good blog requires regular updates.

Although starting a blog is easy,
the more difficult part is being disciplined enough to stay on it, with frequent posts.

Finding time to write regular updates can become a chore.

People can leave comments on your blog.

People may leave rude or inappropriate comments.

If you want to read other people's blogs there are literally millions to choose from.

There are many very dull blogs around.
You may have to look at many before you find some worth reading

I started blogging since 2013. I made good money from it but had to stop due to personal reasons. I'll go back to blogging by next year or this year even. My niche would be finance (forex trading) or politics.

Forget am. Blogging don cast.

Try Twitter or Instagram influencing.

And if you insist on blogging, try original Naija porn blogging.

OP U go suffer enh!

This actually depends on what you’re looking to achieve with blogging. Are you blogging to promote your business? Are you blogging to simply share your ideas with the world? Are you blogging with the mind of turning it into something bigger?

To each of these purposes the advantages and disadvantages differ.

For example, if your blog is a business blog here are some of the advantages:

More organic traffic to your site.
increased brand visibility
Grow your influence in your market as you become a thought leader in your niche.
Create a community around your brand thereby improving customer relationships and sales.
Use your blog as a research tool to know more about your market.
Hone your writing skills which could later translate into writing a book in your industry while will ultimately expand your reach.
Etc.
For the disadvantages:

Blogging is addictive and could easily derail you from focusing on the main areas of running your business.
If you don’t align your content with your business goals you will end up “doing things” without any result.
Blogging takes up a whole lot of time that if you don’t have a schedule or are not disciplined enough you could side tracked.
Now, if you read carefully the disadvantages you will realize that if you understand what to do, blogging really does NOT have a disadvantage.

You simply need to know the purpose of your blog.
Align that purpose with your business goals.
Have a schedule and work within that schedule.
Get extra hands (outsource) where necessary.
Your focus in all you do is to build your business and not just a blog!

Do you have sharp mouth (caustic mouth)?

Are you rude, humourous and expressive?

Do you have an internet enabled phone

And data for regular subscription?

If yes



















Then that's all you need, you're ready
