Let’s get this started already. Ready? But..
Now, take a deep breath, think again why you need a blog and drop it in the comments below…
I guess you’ve done that, now here is mine, I won’t bore you – I started Creative U because I wanted to clean the mess of not getting the right information needed whenever you search online whether you are searching on how to set up a blog or the latest graphic design tips or how to make a living from home… you get the right information with a click of the mouse….
That’s enough right? No… ya no, I am pissed-off really because of the way the internet is being populated with junks and it’s being thrown at our faces. Pawn! Oh we can’t do anything about it….. No way, Creative U is here to curate the best articles and collate the best of the best for a better internet…. now that’s enough with the ranting, we have nice guys doing nice things on the internet as well.
Guess you now know why you need a blog! To help me in your own area of expertise make the internet worth while, right? Good, but if you are not sharing this dream I guess you might need to rethink! 😉
You’re probably expecting me to start listing them one after the other and then you move on like it’s a maths formula that you solve once and never get back to it…. the listing part is coming. Ok? But, who should blog? Or who is a Real Gee Blogger?
Can everybody blog? No.. I know you agree with me, but if you think blogging is just writing and writing and even more writing of posts and hitting publish then I thing you need a blogging course at Havard University.
*I can offer you a better blogging course to know if you are a Real Gee Blogger *clears throat **
Being a blogger is more than just writing blog posts and posting pictures and sourcing for news inspiration and what-have-you….. you need to be a Real Gee blogger – someone who can transmit his thoughts via writing through a blog, a person who is a thought leader in a niche, a go-to expert in his area of specialization – that is a REAL GEE BLOGGER.
What is a niche? You asked…. thank
God….. a niche is an area of specialty your blog focuses on to make a
difference, in other words, a niche is a topic that you can write with little or no inspiration,
even if I kick your butts on one faithful morning and say write this,
you would give me your best article. That’s a niche. Hope you got that!
This is highly recommended! You might be reading this post as at the
time we don’t have a domain name of our own but I strongly recommend you
buy a domain name and get a good host for your blog.
You can’t just get a domain name and host and expect it to pop up and look like magazines like makeuseof or shoutoutloud etc you need a platform with a website design.
I recommend you set up a WordPress platform via your host and get a pleasing web design to suit your niche and then brand your site with a logo.
Oh ya! This is where it gets even tougher. Contents is king! A good
website site with the right niche and the best platform in the world and
without content is like a FIFA soccer ball without air. It’s useless,
yes you heard me Useless!
It’s time to get to work! Content is king, start creating quality contents for your readers!

What is a Blog?
We perceive that before you search for what it takes to start a blog you probably know what a blog is, right? Hmmmm I heard some silent Nos… but don’t worry we are here to untangle creativity, isn’t it?A blog according to Wikipedia is
a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.A blog is a platform used by ‘bloggers’ to inspire, educate and communicate thoughts as words to readers like you – it’s a dry definition right? It’s just mine, there are lots of definitions out there about basics of blogging etc you can checkout…. but NOT now!
Let’s get this started already. Ready? But..
Why do you want to blog?
That question sounds familiar right? It might have been asked by your friends, close pals, mentors etc and me now. But, come to think of it, did you provide any answers when they asked or you just borrowed the regular unspecific answer of:- I want to just blog
- I just have fun blogging and dishing out information to people (even if it’s trash)
- I want to let people know what I know……

In fact you can not be a blogger without a blog, you probably would be called a freelance writer. A blogger needs a blog!
You need the following to start a blog:
You need YOU:

you do on your blog and that is why you need…….
