How to Start Blogging in 2022? 🙋“The Basics for Beginners”.

3T You Are Here!
Hi, here I’m going to talk about the basics of blog creation like, how to start blogging in 2022. Yes, already there is a lot of information available on the internet and likewise, the majority of the people know what blogging is, but everybody has a unique way of understanding and talking about their learning.

And yet I want to share my learning to gain knowledge and then experience afterward. Because I have learned from all these years of my age that:


“Share the learnings to gain knowledge and share the experiences to become a degree.” (Sa’sme)

Totally wrong? Yes, how it feels like, self-praising and selfishness. But it’s not like that, because when we share our learnings we get acknowledged by others and receive the corrections in the shape of critics and encouragement. Critics give us a sight to look deeper and encouragements boost our energies to work harder.

And “when we share our experiences, the learners gain the confirmation of their learnings with a practical proof of their learnings.”

So, at some level, you’ve got a degree within yourself.

🤔 What is Blogging❓

In simple words, it is the place on the internet like a website. As its name explains the meaning i.e.:


Web~Log, ( Web = Internet and Log = an official/personal record of events).


It is just like you have an online journal or diary. You can write about anything, place, and or topic of your interest to share with the audience on the internet.

🔎 Difference 🧐Between Website and Blog

The similarities between website and blog are really confusing, especially for a beginner who does not really know where to start.

– Website and Blog both have a Domain name. Which is required to be registered.

– Both work for the online presence of a business in a different fashion from Twitter or LinkedIn where people share their information, etc.

– Both, the website and blog may contain social media links to have the option for social media sharing, and yes the contact information is also provided on both.

Website:

Usually, a website may not have a blog section on the home page. The website has a dedicated homepage telling about the services offered by the company/business.


It has contacts and information about how to contact using email, contact form, etc. Social media links can also be given to follow.


But the main purpose of the website is to actually share the services being offered by the business. That is what makes a website completely different from a blog.


The Website has the best impact in terms of search engine traffic and organic growth. But the businesses, that integrate the blog within their website gain more traffic compared to the websites without the blog.


Generally, a website does not require to be updated frequently. A website may not allow writing comments, while there may be an option for feedback.


It can keep a content for longer period of time or permanently, like information about a company’s system structure, services, etc. The website can contain very limited content based on the span and type of business.


Blog:

  1. You actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation but I in finding this matter to be actually something that I believe I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely wide for me. I am having a look ahead for your next put up, I will attempt to get the grasp of it!

    1. Thank you for your time spent on my blog, actually it seems like very tough to create content, but once you start you’ll find the track very slippery. Me; too not very seasoned in blogging [as you may have cited] but it is kind a attractive task, at least for me. Thanks again.🙋
