How to Start A Blog in India – in 8 Steps:

1. Do some research and find out if blogging is your cup of tea.
2. If yes, then pick a niche you would like to blog about.
3. Find out the best platform to start with.
4. Buy a domain name for your blog.
5. Buy a hosting plan as well.
6. Setup your blog.
7. Create awesome content.
8. Promote.

Those were the simplest steps you can start a blog right away.

But let’s make them even simpler.

I will classify all the steps into three phases. So that you know which phase you are right now and scale yourself accordingly.

Note: If you’re seriously thinking about choosing Blogging as a career then, I recommend you to read Phase 1 & Phase 2 carefully and afterward take your decision. And if you’re straight up ready to start your blog and make money then just scroll down to Phase 3 and get started right away. Also, you can use the Table of Content above to jump to the section you want to read.

Phase 1: Decide.

• Find out if blogging is right for you?
• Is it necessary to have a passion, to start a blog?

Phase 2: Research.

• Which niche should you start your blog in?
• Which platform should you choose for blogging?
• Should you go for a paid domain & hosting?
• Cost of Creating a Blog in India.
• How to choose the perfect domain name?
• Where to buy your domain and web-hosting from?

Phase 3: Action.

• Buy your domain name.
• Buy a hosting plan (you can skip this step if you decide to go with the free option, not recommended though).
• Set up your blog.
• Create content for your blog.
• Promote your blog.

Let’s get into details now, shall we?

Phase 1 – Decide:

Is Blogging Your Cup of Tea?

First thing first, do you really think you can write a blog?

Blogging could simply mean a medium to express your thoughts. To shout out your thoughts, experiences or knowledge to your audience.

If your only goal is to make money but you hate networking with people, then, maybe blogging is not the right job for you. You’d probably be better off spending time pursuing something else you truly like.

Here are a few traits I believe every blogger should have (read it closely):

Some Fair Interest in Writing; you don’t have to be the next, but if you don’t have even a little bit of interest in writing then the case is already closed; find something else you would like to do instead.
