I Want to Start a Blog

The bare-bones basics to starting a blog with clear intentions in mind

So you want to start a blog?

Blogging is a fun way to share your experiences and stories and sometimes even make money if you choose to use it for that as well. However, sometimes it can be overwhelming to even get started if you aren't completely sure of your intentions for the blog. There are SO many questions!

What will you write about? What will you call it? Will you use it for business or a hobby?

That is just the tip of the iceberg. And in this course, we will cover the tip of the iceberg because even then, there is still so much to think about and consider!

When I first started my lifestyle blog, I didn't even think twice about any of these things. I initially started my blog as a portfolio for my journalistic writing, then when I discovered blogging for business, I just wanted to have something to have it up there in the hopes that I could get some paid opportunities with my blog. I went about things way too quickly without thinking and it has affected the growth of my blog, sometimes even to this day.

So I'm here to help you get the nitty gritty basics of starting a blog so you have a clear vision of what you want and what your intentions are!

With in-depth breakdowns of each lesson and "homework" that you can download and fill out for your own personal learning, you will be able to get a clear vision of what you want to do for your blog!
