A technology blog is a great way to share your skills to the online audience while forming a potential valuable readership. You can monetize your content or use your blog to provide other people services, for example, you can provide writing help to people who are struggling to write their essays, articles, etc.
You will have so much content to write about when it comes to technology, because every day we see a new tech item emerge. This is why a tech blog makes a lot of sense to start!
But for this, you have to be consistent in posting quality content.
Here are some main steps to launch your own technology blog;
Come up with a unique name
It represents your website, blog and everything about your startup. Whatever you post on your blog, your audience is going to associate it with your blog name.
The name you come up with should be short and easy to pronounce. It should sound brand able and it should sync with your niche and theme.
Picking the right keyword
One of the best ways to get traffic for your blog is to rank high in google search results. Like every other blog , even tech writing is dependent on keywords for the audience.
You have to think of something unique because if you use something popular, your blog would never make it to the top level of competition. If you think using a popular keyword will get you an audience, who knows, you might get some but with a tech blog that is usually harder to do.
This is why you need to decide on the right niche so you can find keywords accordingly.
Advertise your blog
Social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc. Create a channel or page on any of these platforms and start advertising your blog to get some audience.
This might be costly sometimes but it is one of the best ways to promote something. In this pandemic, online marketing is the only way of advertising a product or something else as people are mostly doing stuff online.
Hosting
Basically with a blog, you spend your time writing quality content and not tweaking websites or making websites. So go with some writing friendly host as it helps to handle a good amount of audience. Hosting is very cheap but it also depends on what plan you’re going for. For a newbie like you, it should hardly cost 5$/month.
But once you hit an audience of lets suppose 5000 people, you’ll need to upgrade your hosting plans as blogs with big audience and cheap hosting plans may crash.
Select a theme
You want a website that loads quickly so that your users don’t give up waiting for it to load. Pick a nice and simple theme that isn’t full of colors and other pointless stuff that you don’t need. Too many plugin installed on your theme will really slow down your website. So, don’t look for other fancy stuff, just get what you need and start your own tech blog.
