Blogging is one of the most popular ways of communicating and spreading latest news. Currently, there are a lot of blogs we can see and read with interesting topics. Have you wondered on how the bloggers started their blogs? How their blogs became so popular? Do you want to be like them? Do you want to start a blog? If so, let me give you some guides on how to start a successful blog.  1. You have to choose your preferred platform Most of the bloggers are using WordPress, this is a massive platform and it is very easy to set-up and open source. You can also use Wix, Tumblr, Joomla, Medium, Blogger etc. 2. Choose best web hosting for your blog When choosing web hosting, you have to decide if you want to pay or not. If you are using WordPress, Tumblr and Blogger you won’t be able to get your domain because it’s an open source platform, and I know that you don’t want to see your domain like sample@wordpress.com, sample@tumblr.com, right? Aside from that, all are limited if you use free web hosting. On the other hand, if you are willing to pay, you will get what you want, you really feel that you are the owner of your blog. You’ll be happier if you get the domain you want. 3. Set your own domain name The meaning of domain is basically the URL of your website. Example: facebook.com (facebook.com is the domain). Hosting refers to a company who will host your website to the internet so everyone can see it. 4. Design your blog creatively Design your blog that will look exactly how you want it to. If you use WordPress, you can find free themes that is easy to install, you can also buy other themes that you want. Remember, design is one the reason that can catch the attention of the viewers or readers. 5. Find good resources for your blog When starting a blog, at first you experienced different mistakes but always put on your mind that there is always room for learning and improvement, even if you are a newbie or been blogging for years. Spend time to find good resources in the internet, you’ll get more ideas that may help you improve your blog. So, always remember these 5 guides to have a successful blog.
