Got questions?

Having been bloggers for over eight years, we still learn new things about blogging daily. There is no set formula; you learn about blogging on the journey.

A blog is an online platform where individuals or organisations can share their thoughts, experiences, and expertise through regular written content. It typically consists of articles or posts that you publish on topics relevant to your blog.

To start a blog, you’ll need to follow a few basic steps. First, choose a blogging platform such as WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr. Next, select a domain name representing your blog’s niche or topic (this is your website address, like, say, google.com). Then, sign up for web hosting (think of it like renting a house, but you are renting space online) and install the blogging software. Finally, customise your blog’s design, create compelling content, and promote it to attract readers.

 Yes, blogging can be a profitable venture. You can explore ways to make money, such as displaying advertisements, joining affiliate marketing programs, selling digital products or services, or offering sponsored content opportunities. However, it’s important to note that building a successful blog takes time, effort, and consistency.

The frequency of your blog posts depends on various factors, including your available time, content quality, and audience expectations. Consistency is key, so it’s generally recommended to establish a regular publishing schedule that you can realistically maintain. Whether you post daily, weekly, or monthly, it’s important to prioritise quality over quantity.

Social media platforms provide excellent opportunities to promote your blog and engage with your audience. Start by creating profiles on popular platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn, depending on your target audience. Share your blog posts, interact with followers, participate in relevant communities, and leverage social media advertising to boost visibility.

Website plugins are software extensions that add specific features or functionalities to your blog. They can enhance your blog’s performance, security, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and user experience. Popular plugins include SEO plugins to optimise your content for search engines, social sharing plugins for easy content sharing, and contact form plugins for reader interaction.

Keyword research involves identifying people’s words or phrases when searching for information online. It helps you understand what topics and keywords are relevant to your audience, allowing you to write your blog posts for search engines and increase your chances of ranking higher in search results. Effective keyword research can drive organic traffic to your blog.

Engaging with your blog’s audience is crucial for building a loyal readership. Encourage comments on your blog posts and respond to them promptly. Regularly ask for feedback or opinions through polls or surveys. Interact with your readers on social media platforms and participate in relevant online communities. Building a sense of community fosters a deeper connection with your audience.
