Do you want to be a blogger, but you don’t know the first thing about how to start a blog?
I can totally relate…I started blogging in 2013 as a way to work through some of my mental health issues like anxiety and depression. At first, my blog was a hobby. I knew about WordPress, but I had no idea how to start a serious blog. I wrote in my spare time (which wasn’t very much or very often) and got zero traffic.
A few years later, I started writing more and started getting serious about blogging. Finally, I transformed my blog into a business. You can learn more about how to start a business here.
Little did I know that blogging would turn into a full-time gig. I’ve always been passionate about writing, mental health, and helping people. Blogging changed my life by allowing me to do what I love. Nothing beats passion with purpose. Now I get to share my experiences with people going through a similar journey. I want to share the blog love by showing others how to start a blog!
I’ll admit there’s been a lot of trial and error. I’ve spent countless hours Googling how to do things, made a lot of mistakes, and I’m still learning some of the more technical stuff. Starting a blog isn’t complicated, but it does take time and a lot of patience.
