Who is a Blogger?

A person who makes and manages blog is known as a blogger and he must require some skills to make and manage a blog.

So what are the skills required to make a blog? Here is a list of 7 things that a person would require to have knowledge about to make a blog successful.

1.       Good knowledge about the subject  : a person must have knowledge about the topic or subject he/she has chosen as the basic theme or the topic of the blog on which he is going to run a blog he must have knowledge about what he is going to put in front of the people as he is only answerable to any query asked on his blog.

2.       Good writing skills : after knowledge the thing that comes is writing skills as what is someone has a deep knowledge about a topic and is not able to explain whatever he knows. So this is one of the most basic thing that is required to make a successful blog as if someone is writing something on a topic and he is not able to put his word in front of people then it is waste of time for him to make a blog.

3.       Editing and publishing posts : a person must be able to edit and find out errors or mistakes in his writing and mush be able to publish his work on time on his weblog i.e. Blog.

4.       Search Engine Optimization (SEO) : Search engine optimization is an important factor that makes the blog visible to the search engines like Google as it is very important that if you are doing good work and search engine is not able to find your blog then you will be missing the web traffic that you are disserving on your blog so this s also important.

5.       Media Marketing : Social marketing is a good example of media marketing as this is the easiest an shortest way to give your blog a social exposure or one mat have a different marketing strategy to market his blog in whatever way e can do to build his audience on the web.

6.       Designing : This is the only thing that a visitor will notice when he will open your blog for the first time as it will give an impact on the visitor or the reader to read or leave your page if the page is with too much designing and too many unnecessary things then you reader would lose interest in your blog so keep the blog design simple and according to the topic.

7.       Patience : Patience is required very much in blogging as ist is a continous process and one need to update his blog for defeat the competition in the market and make a position on the web and it requires hard work with patience as from day 1 one cannot have 1000’s of visitors daily it requires time to gain that position.

 If you are thinking that you can manage the first three or two points easily and rest of the things are like something alien to you then don’t worry this blog will teach you about rest of the topics and I am there for any kind of help you want. So feel free to ask any thing through comments.

 

Requirements of a Blog.

But first we have to find out some basic things behind the building of a blog.

The things required to make a blog are:

•   Domain Name
•    Web Hosting

So let us see that what is a domain name?

 

What is a Domain Name?

A Domain name is a web address that would refer to you on the web as it is very important because being on the web requires a unique ID for you to be referred as one have its home address unique just like that we have a unique address on the web so whenever he writes your web address that it is directly taken to you . For eg. www.google.co.in is a example of domain and domain mane in the given url google is a domain name and .co.in is its domain.

There are two types of domains that are available one is paid one and another one is free one. These domain are referred as top level domain and low level domain.

 

Top level domains (Paid Ones):

.com

.net

.in

.edu

.gov

.info etc.

These are the paid domain which are available if you buy them and for your domain name followed by the domain of your choice, For E.g. www.google.com is a url in which google is the domain name followed by the top level domain .com.

Low level Domains (Free ones):

.blogspot.com

.wordpress.com etc..

These domains are available for free followed by the name you want for your blog for eg. www.techieupdatesweb.blogspot.com is a free domain that is techieupdatesweb is a domain name followed by the free domain .blogspot.com

If you want to built a website the thing that you will first need is an domain if you are doing just for fun then you can go with a free one that is low level domain and if you are really serious and want your own identity then you should opt for the top level domains (the paid ones).

I will tell you more in the upcoming posts about how to register for the paid and unpaid domains stay tuned.

 

What is Web Hosting?

Web Hosting server

Suppose you have bought a Domain name then your work is partially done as it is like an empty plot on which home is to be built as it is completely empty. So one have to put it on a web host as web host is a disk space that one acquires by buying it for his blog or website as all files he have to share with people should be available all the time on the web so web hosts are those spaces that doesn’t shuts down any time. That means you can do business while sleeping also as your website will do it for you.

Hosting can be said as virtual disk that one buys for his website or blog on which a content management software (CMS) is installed for ease of work . I will tell more about CMS in my upcoming posts.

Interesting fact is that for free domin you don’t even need to buy a host for it , is self hosted.  

This was all about what is a Blog and who is a blogger. I hope you have understood about the blog and blogger’s basic requirements in the upcoming postes I will tell How to buy a Domain and server and also tell about how to make a blog for free.

First Post-an introduction to Blogging

Hi friends this is the first post of my new blogging tutorial blog Techie Updates. In this blog we will try to serve you with all those information that you would need to build a blog. In this we will tell you about.

•     What is a blog?
•     Difference between a Blog and a Website.
•     How it works?
•     How one can create a blog?
•     How you can earn through your blog?

These all queries will be solved in this blog. This is an introductory post of what you are going to find at this blog in the upcoming days. So are you all set to know about blogging?

So first of all let us learn that:

What is a blog?

Blog is an online book that can be read by the people and the problems of peoples are resolved through them. One can find blog on almost any topic present on this planet. Who writes these blogs? These blogs are written by the people like me and you who know something about some topic and want to share it with the world. The sharing of knowledge and information is the main purpose of any blog. After all ‘sharing is caring ‘. For example if someone cooks well the he/she can start a blog to make people know about his /her recipes or even he/she can tell the people about the secret behind them a or even he/she can sell these recipes to make a profit (other than advertising) through the blog . So it is a place where rules are followed by others as you can show whatever you want and you can say or discuss about whatever you like.

Difference between a Blog and a Website?

Some people have a doubt that what is difference between a blog and a website? Technically there is no difference between a website and a blog both of these are same form the working to building. So what is the difference? There is a minor difference between them that is a website represents a company or an organization or a business that deals with the exchange of service or a product. Where as in a blog you can share information freely about any topic or product and it is constantly updated where as the websites are not daily updated and most of the blogs are daily updated.

How to create a blog?

I think this is the most important thing that everyone likes to know and many people are afraid of this simple question because they might have many things to share but the have a very little knowledge of computers and internet and they think that it might require a deep knowledge of computers but it is totally wrong!! A blog can be created by any ne who have little knowledge of computers and internet but a good knowledge of the topic that they are going to tell to the readers. It does not require any coding as now a day’s many platforms like Wordpress and Bloggger are available that gives a user interface and have a set of prebuilt codes in it that it automatically creates as per the user requirement. In the upcoming posts I will tell about the platforms and best among them and how to work with that.

How to earn through Blog?

Most of the people are attracted toward blogging because it is the easiest way to earn a handsome amount of money to fulfill their needs as people take it as a side income source that supports them and give them extra money to facilitate their lives. So let us know that how money can be earned through blog.

The main income source for a new blog and a basic blog is advertising networks that places advertisements on the blog and pay the publisher according to their policies. These advertisers provide banners for the placement of ads on the blog according to the publisher as there are many options available in banner sizes that can be placed on the blog according to the space and positions on the blog. The main advertising companies are adsence, chittika, Infolinks ,etc…

Another source of income on a blog is placing links to external sites that are ready to pay them according to the web traffic on the blog. Affiliate marketing is also another way to earn through the blogs; direct advertisement’s is also another way to get paid through a blog direct advertisement is placing an ad of a company by direct contacting them and offering space on your blog for their advertisement. And many more ways are there that you would come to know after starting a blog. As opportunities comes to your home when you work hard for good thing.

You would love to know that one can make 40,000 INR and more per month by blogging!!! I would tell you about the people earning through their blog and living life king size in my upcoming posts.
