Still think it is hard to start a blog?

Admit it, you thought about it, but something just stops you. You just can't take that step into blogging. If you are one of those that think you would like to put together a blog to promote your online business, but it just seems like there is too much involved then you are not alone. There are two sides to blogging, the technical part (setting it up and posting) and the writing part, so here we'll cover two quick ways to get started. It is an investment of time you can make for your online business, and you will be glad you did.

First we'll look at the technical side. Here is a short video from Google that explains exactly what to do to get started with a blog from Blogger.com. You will notice that it really is not technical at all. In fact, it is even kind of fun.






Now the creative part. Decide what your blog will be about, a particular program or category of online marketing. It can be as simple and straight forward as My Internet Marketing Adventures. You don't have to be a guru to write a blog about your business. Just be sincere with with your writing. For your first post introduce yourself and say something about what you are going to be doing with your blog. Then take the leap.

That's it folks. Here you can see my first post. Since then I changed the title and removed the navigation bar from across the top of the blog. I didn't go back to edit the post, however, because I want the changes in this blog visible as a record how a business blog can start, change, and grow. It only takes a few steps to get started, then take it one post at a time.
