Start a Blog in Seven Days - Introduction

In this seven-part / seven-day series, I’ll be walking you through the steps of launching a new blog. This is set up in a seven day set for those who can’t devote a lot of time up front. Others will be able to complete all of these steps in a matter of hours (something I actually do myself periodically).

The seven day series on launching a new blog will generally target newer bloggers rather than more experienced and advanced bloggers. The topics will include things like:

  • Choosing a niche
  • Choosing a name / domain name
  • Hosting options for the blog
  • Coming up with a blogging / content strategy
  • Preparing startup content
  • Launch marketing and other blog promotion
  • Encouraging reader interaction

Be sure to check back tomorrow for our first post in the series on niches and naming your blog.
