I was also confused when I started the blog, that time I was little bit interest in Game, such as Cricket, so I decided, will start the blog with gaming niche. But, I didn’t get big success with this niche, then I decided to go with my experience I had.

Step #2: Choose your domain name

Now it’s time of choosing the domain name. Domain name refers to your website location on internet, it’s like a registration of plot on earth.

Each website has it’s unique address on WWW.

For example, I have choose this domain(https:/www.digitechnopost.com/) for blogging.

HTTPS://(Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

www (the sub domain)

Digitechnopost (The domain name)

.com(Top Level Domain)

Below are Some Tips for Domain Selection.

• Your selected domain looks like a Brand Name .
• Choose the top level domain(extension) such as .com for your domain.
• Your selected domain should also represent your niche.
• Don’t buy expired domain.

Step #3: Setup Your Blog

Now, You have to decide that which platform is better for blogging and why is better

If you are new in blogging then I will recommend Blogger.com that is totally free of cost. You don’t need to pay small dollar to host your blog.

If you have some investment then you can go with Worpress.org that is used by many blogger and business man. In this case, I will ask you to go with wordpress.org as it has many features that will help you to build a beautiful website and easy SEO implementation.

Step #3.1 : Choose Hosting for Your blog

Selecting the hosting provider for your blog is also very important thing.

Again you need to think about investment to host your blog on best server.

I would recommend Siteground Hosting for beginner. I t will be little bit costly in compare to other hosting provider.

But, Siteground will provide you the top features that will make your blog safe and fast on internet.

Sitegroud Hosting top Features:

 Free SSL Certificate, Free CDN, Unmetered Traffic, Daily Backup and One click wordpress Installation. You can read Siteground hosting review that is prepared by me after great research.

Right now, You are not aware about that which theme is good or not. Never use the premium themes available for free or provided by the unknown person.

You need to think, why they are providing premium themes without any cost, this means, Theme designed for hacking purpose.

They know that free offer will force bloggers and marketers to install free theme. If you install such a theme on blog then you may invite hacker to hack your blog, So beware for that.

You can install Free GeneratePress theme on your blog .It is very super simple and fast theme that will work fine for SEO purpose.

I am using GeneratePress premium theme on my blog (www.digitechnopost.com).

Premium theme has more features compare to free theme. you can create beautiful website for blogging by using top features.

It’s not necessary to use premium theme for blog. In this case, You will have to manage blog with limited feature.
