But, I have seen many new bloggers committing the same mistakes at the initial stages.

These common mistakes seem to be very small but they waste a lot of time, effort as well as money sometimes. I am currently having over 5 years experience in the field and have done the same mistake sin my initial stages too. I almost wasted 6 months while committing the same mistakes and finally have understood the basics of blogging. Being a professional blogger. I would like to share some tips with all those new bloggers so as to save your time, effort as well as money.

10 Tips for Newbies Tending to Start a New Blog

1. Perfect Platform to choose 

There are almost over 100 blogging platforms available on the Internet. And choosing the best platform to start a blog is like finding salt in flour. That's why I am here to sort out some the most basic problems. 

The most popular blogging platforms are WordPress and Blogger.

I started my first blog on Blogger. But as I started getting more traffic and content on my blog, I shifted to WordPress.

Choosing the best platform is all on yourself. Its on you that how much are you liable to use and how comfortable you are while using the mentioned platforms. If you are good using WordPress, make sure to start your blog using WordPress. For you, WordPress is the perfect blogging platform for you. 

And if you are using Blogger more efficiently and perfectly, start it using Blogger. Blogger is also the best platform for blogging in case you have much knowledge using it. 

According to me, Newbies who have potential to invest a little in their blog, and do blogging like pro bloggers should start using WordPress. While all those bloggers who want to earn experience and don't have much money to invest should start using Blogger.  

2.  Domain Name 

If you start using any of the two platforms mentioned above, you will be admitted with a free sub-domain as www.anything.blogpsot.com or www.anything.wordpress.com. 

But if you are tending to do professional blogging and do serious blogging, I prefer you not to go with those domains. You should go with custom domains which you have to purchase while getting a hosting. I have researched a lot and have gathered a few tips (or you can say hacks) to get the perfect domain for professional blogging. 

• Make sure your domain have keyword matching to the niche of your blog. This will result in better search engine results.
• Your domain must be compact, easy to understand and appropriate.
• Domain name should be something that would be memorized by visitors. Try getting a domain name that you would like to click on first look.
• Make sure you are not using any symbols like _, -, ., etc if possible.
