Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Open a blogging account. Try a free blogging website such as Blogger.com. It's easy to sign up for an account. Simply click, "create a blog, and fill out the form on the website. Save your account information in a safe place so that you can remember it for later.

  2. Step 2

    Gather some of your writing material. If you already have access to some of your content articles online, then you can post links to your recent articles. Click the "create a new post," and begin writing.

  3. Step 3

    Type the title of your blog posting. Add just a small portion of the article-like a teaser to the beginning of the post. Then add a link that leads to your article on the web... Try adding - ("Click here to continue reading about ______" )

  4. Step 4

    Be sure to add a few pictures to your posts. It catches the reader's attention and makes the posting more interesting and effective. Don't add a distracting image-just a picture that fits the topic.

  5. Step 5

    Post daily or weekly-whatever is convenient for you. Be sure to add a place on your blog where readers can subscribe to your blog. Join social networks, email your blog to friends, family, or co-workers, and join in on message boards. Add your blog link to wherever you can. Pretty soon, people will be reading your articles. Be sure to add in a personal post note every now and then-it makes the readers feel like the blog is personal-and you are there with them.
