THINK outside the BOX
Being able to start a blog, I needed to think of numerous kinds of blogs that have been doing well and I realized that I am a person who has a huge interest in fashion and clothing. But at the same time, I wanted to stand out in the crowd and start an innovative blog that hasn’t been thought up by anyone yet. There are food blogs, fitness blogs, fashion blogs, OR you could limit yourself to ONLY ONE particular interest such as handbags or watches or cakes. The list never ends. Think about that one thing that you are passionate about and if it’s more than one, find a combination to fit them all perfectly in one blog.
PHOTOGRAPHY and CONTENT
Obviously you have a slight idea about what your blog is going to be, but the second main step is to decide how you are going to manage to include pictures and write the content. If you wish to hire a photographer or a content writer, keep in mind you will have to pay them. If you believe you can write or take pictures yourself, the most important thing to do is buy a camera that suits your photography demands. If you think you lack knowledge about the content, go through famous blogs that are written by talented bloggers to get some ideas. The secret to the blog is honesty and creativity.
