Want to know ‘How to start a blog from scratch in 2020? I appreciate your decision. Because, I love Action takers.
I have also taken my life’s best decision to start a blog a year before.
When you enter in this Blogging World there is so much to learn. And, you all know “Learning is the biggest earning” ( if you take Action).
If you are tired of your job or searching for ‘how to make money online’ then blogging is a great way to start (make money on autopilot).
So, for that you should know ‘How to start a blog‘. This is the first and easiest step towards your blogging career.
Why you should read this article? If you are looking for-
What is the best platform to start blogging?
How to start a blog and make money? (No quick rich scheme)
What is the best topic to start a blog?
How much does it cost to start a blog?
Do I need any technical skills?…… the list is endless.
So, not wasting up your precious time,
Let’s explore-
Choose a Niche for your Blog
This is the part where many newbies stuck.
Just ask these questions before picking a niche-
Can I write quality content regularly on this niche?
Is there enough room in this niche to grow?
Are people interested to talk about the topic? Can I build a community?
What is my purpose? Guys, Promise me that while selecting a niche your first purpose should be to provide value (the second purpose can be money).
How I will make my niche unique? What is uniqueness in my niche?
Note: Build your blog to solve the pain problems of the people. Your niche should be around a problem (back , neck pain etc.) not around a product. Choose a niche in which you have experience or want to learn about.
Here’s a special gift for you- If you want to see ‘How to pick a profitable niche’ then Get my Live Niche Research Ultimate Guide E-book for FREE with a 100+ blog niche list (Bonus).
Ultimate Niche Guide
Find your niche and start your profitable business now.
Short- Keep your domain name short. Short domain names are easy to remember and pronounce.
Numbers– Don’t use numbers. Avoid using numbers in your domain name as much as you can.
Keyword- Google doesn’t consider keyword in your domain name as a ranking factor ( but it will always be a plus point). For e.g. if your niche is around blogging and you choose a domain name ‘startablog.com’ then it’s not that your website will rank on top related to that keyword. But, the keyword in your domain name gives the audience a signal about your blog.
TLD extension- Prefer .com domains because it’s for globally. If not then you can choose .net and .org also.
Expired Domains- It will be great if buy an expired domain. You are getting some site authority without any work.
Let’s find a domain name-
Let’s find a domain name around a niche ‘blogging’.
Just go to LeanDomainSearch website ( Domain Name Generator) and type the keyword- ‘blogging’. See the results that appear and pick a domain name that is short and look brandable.
What is view of ‘Flashblogging.com’. Tell me in the Comments.
My domain name finding journey
First of all, I see that many bloggers are promoting Semrush affiliate program. So, I decided to include a Keyword of Semrush and buy ‘rushblogs.com’.
Then I came to know that Google is not considering keyword in the domain a ranking factor. Also, only writing about SEMrush won’t help me to grow and rank.
My domain name was small but not understandable (can’t be easily remembered). So, I just randomly search domain name and found hackblogging.com ( randomly putting words in front and back of the keyword ‘blogging’),
You can also find domain names by finding synonyms of a word and attach with your keyword.
In short: Buy a domain name that is short, brandable and gives idea of your business (E.g. windowcleaner.com)
Congrats, for choosing your ultimate domain name.
Choose a Ultimate Hosting for Your Blog
Every newbie has this question in his mind- “Which is the best and cheapest hosting?”.
Firslty, Let’s see ‘What is Web hosting’
In short: Web hosting is the process of renting or buying space to house a website on the World Wide Web.
There are tons of hosting providers out there, But What is the best WordPress Hosting for you? Any guess.
I personally recommend two hosting providers. Siteground and Greengeeks.
Why cheapest hosting is not good for you?
Low Site Speed
Less Uptime
Not Good Support…..list is endless.
When I started blogging I also made a mistake by buying a cheap hosting to save money. ( I just wasted my time).
I made a great decision by investing some money in Siteground hosting. But, When I buy Siteground Hosting the price of plans was-
But after 30 Days the price increases and became this-
I was happy because I already bought Siteground for 1 year at low price but at one side I was also sad because I was recommending this hosting to everyone.
But Still, This is the best hosting for beginners.
Then, I started researching ” What are the best alternatives of Siteground Hosting out there”. After researching for many days I found that the best alternative is Greengeeks Hosting. See, the Proof (Strong Competition)
It’s clearly seeing that Greengeeks is the winner of this Poll result.
Follow these steps to purchase hosting and to setup your blog.
See, which plan best suits you. If you want to host multiple sites then Pro version is great for you otherwise lite is good. ( I have bought pro version).
If you have already bought a domain name then just fill the block under the “Use a Domain You Already Own”, if not then create a new domain name.
Greengeeks offers you free domain name registration for 1 year. After that Click on the Next button
3. Sign Up
Fill your Account information. (It’s simple).
Package Information
Select the right package for you. Triennially means 3-year plan. If you want to buy this hosting for 1 year then select annually.
Create Account
Now, fill your credit card information. If you don’t have credit card then make a account on paypal. ( Note: your card should have permission to do international payment).
There is a option ‘Chat with us’ on the header. Click on that and ask for paypal link.
Do the payment and you are done.
Setup your WordPress Blog
Many newbies have a question in their brain- “Which is the best platform to start a blog in 2020”.
I personally recommend you to choose WordPress platform. Why?
Awesome plugins and themes
User-friendly (easy to use).
Freedom to make your blog as you can.
It’s an easy system if you want a website up and ready within minutes.
Step 1: Login in your Greengeeks hosting account, you will see a option called cpanel.
From cpanel, scroll Softaculous Apps Installer and click on WordPress.
Step 2: After clicking on WordPress, you will see a option ‘Install Now’. Just click on that ( wordpress new version will be there, for older version you have to do that manually).
Software setup- Choose your domain name. If you have only one domain then it will appear automatically. Choose which “HTTP:” version you want to use ( choose “https:” if have a free SSL certificate).
Admin Information- Input the username and password (never choose username “admin” ). Choose an admin e-mail address.
Fill basic information about your website.
Click on the Install button.
After completing installation. Click the link to visit the login screen.
The link will redirect to WordPress dashboard, Fill your login details and click on the Login Button.
Boom, Setup is done. Now it’s time to choose a awesome theme.
Choose a Rocking theme
If you are thinking that installing free themes will help you to scale in blogging, then you are thinking wrong.
Why installing a free theme is not a good option?
Limited features
No Support.
Not being updated regularly.
Poorly coded ( fear of getting site hacked).
Benefits of choosing a premium theme-
Compatible across different browsers.
Customizable.
Responsive Design ( This is the most important factor.Google loves mobile-responsiveness).
Unique.
Always Up-to-date.
Amazing Support
There are many themes out there, ‘Which is the best premium WordPress theme’?
My second best investment after hosting was investing in Most popular WordPress theme- “Divi”. Why I choose it after researching for many days?
Great support ( get the answer to any query within a minute).
Compatible.
Many features in low price- Divi theme + Divi Page builder + Monarch ( social share plugin) + Bloom ( E-mail capturing).
The best alternative of Elegant themes (Divi) is Thrive Themes.
Install theme
After picking up a theme it’s time to install it.
Go to Appearance. Click on themes and Then Click on ‘Add New’
After that Click on Upload theme and upload the .zip file you downloaded after buying a premium theme.
Note: Don’t try to get everything for Free. Invest some money and get high returns.
Important Plugins For WordPress
Here is the list of some important plugins that I personally use-
Rank Math SEO– This is one of my favorite SEO plugins. Firstly, I use Yoast SEO but when I see that rank math provides more features fro Free, then I switch to it. SEO is very important to rank and drive traffic.
Resmush.it-For loading site faster, it’s important that your images are not large in size. This plugins help you to optimize your images effectively.
Antispam Bee– This plugin will help to block spam comments.
Updraft Plus– It simplifies backup and restoration. This plugin backup your website daily (backup of site is necessary).
Monarch- It is a social sharing plugin, If you have already purchased divi pack then you just need to upload the .zip file into plugins. If not, then get divi pack now.
Bloom- The Ultimate E-mail optin and lead generation plugin for WordPress.
Sucuri Security- This plugin keeps your website secure. Security is the no.1 priority. (what if someone tries to hack your website).
Nitropack- It’s a free plugin to boost up your website. If your site doesn’t load faster than the user frustates and bounce back. This plugin will help to optimize your website and make it load faster.
How to install a plugin?
Go into plugins section in the WordPress dashboard.
Click on Add New button.
Search plugins or if you have .zip file then Click on Upload plugin.
Click on Install Now and then Click on “Activate”. (so simple, right).
Write your first ultimate blog post and Publish It.
Note: Never use copyright images (don’t copy/paste images directly from Google). Make your own images with the help of free tool Canva or use Free images.
Publishing
Before Publishing read the complete article yourself. Check if there are any grammar or spelling mistakes ( Use Grammarly ).
Then, Click on the Publish Button.
After that index your URL in Google Search Console.
Now, give your blog post social signals ( Publish on Facebook, Instagram, youtube, quora, twitter, Pinterest and many other platforms).
Bonus– Connect your website with Google Analytics. Click on Start Measuring > Select Web > Provide basic website information > Copy tracking code> Go to Theme editor in WordPress> Header.php file> Paste code under <head> tag.
Smart ways to make money from blogs
Note: Making quick money is dangerous
But, Here I will not tell you any quck-rich schemes.
Ads- Google Adsense is just a motivation. Join premium ads network (ad thrive, info links, etc.)When massive traffic starts coming. Write a sponsored post ( if you have time) and conduct giveaways.
Affiliate marketing- You can make a large amount of money through affiliate marketing. Many bloggers main income source is affiliate marketing. Join affiliates, search and promote products, track sales, and earn a commission.
I made my first dollar through Affiliate marketing. It’s so powerful.
Products- Sell e-books, online courses, softwares, professional services and physical products( go a level up). Build trust with your audience. E-mail marketing is a great way to build trust.
Conferences- Don’t miss conferences and interviews. Meet with people and grow your network.
Scaling and optimizing– Build testimonials, promote and work on Google SEO.

FAQs related to Life hacking blogs
What are some life hacking blogs? (Top 10)
Lifehacker Lifehack BestlifeOnline Tiny Buddha Goalcast Positivity blog Dumb Little Man Marc and Angel Hack Life Reddit Lifehacks Zen habits
What is a lifestyle blogger?
A lifestyle blogger writes, creates, and publishes content on various aspects of their daily lives.
Analyse your competitors that are ranking on the top page.
Take content ideas and see ‘How they are ranking on top?’
Think what unique and different you can provide to audience.
Keyword Optimization
Use your focus and related keywords in-
Title
URL
Meta description
Content ( especially in the first 10% of your content).
Subheads
Alt text
Catchy Titles
‘Why the user will click on your post if he/she doesn’t find the headline engaging?’
Eager to know how to increase engagement on your post through catchy title. Let’s see.
Ultimate Hacks to write Catchy Titles
Use power, numbers, negative, and positive sentiment words in your title. For e.g. Ultimate, hack, super, best, top, how to, what, amazing, top 10, 2020, etc.
Write a genuine title. Your content should meet the expectations that your title generates in the user’s mind.
Write a simple, clear, and concise title. Connect emotionally with the audience.
Title length should not exceed the limit i.e.60 characters.
Including text in brackets in headline leads to an increase in 38% more CTR ( Click through rate)
One of my friend calls me and says- “Hello, I have a written a catchy title, done basic SEO but my site is still not ranking”
Then I read his content and found that there was no content crafting, no content relevancy, not done SEO properly and a bad readability.
When I told him some quality content writing hacks his post ranks within a week. ( He was shocked).
In short, “Content is King”.
Introduction
If the user clicks on the title and doesn’t find the introduction engaging and useful, without wasting any time user will bounce back. How to increase engagement through title-
Start with fact, humor, questions, or a quote.
Give a great overview of your post ( why the audience should read your article?)
Use power words and include your focus keyword.
Don’t write long introductions.
Ultimate Hacks to write main body content
The first important step is to use short paragraphs ( not more than 4 sentences). Use bulleted lists.
Give examples and facts. Tell your own experience ( emotional connection is important).
Include power words especially ( ‘How to’ and ‘I’ ).
Include relevant subheadings.
In short: Write unique, relevant, simple, and high-quality content ( provide value to the audience).
Conclusion
Like starting there should be a great ending of your post.
Keep it short ( it should look like a summary).
Write your own point of view. ( provide a suggestion).
Ask an easy question so that people can comment easily. ( give the right direction and increase engagement).
Add Call to action ( your product, any post, course link).
I generally provide a infographic in my conclusion.
Fresh Content
Keep your content fresh. Don’t forget the post after writing it. Keep on updating your old posts.
Google loves fresh content.
LSI keywords
LSI ( Latex Semantic Indexing) are the related keywords which help the google crawler to understand your content easily.
Benefit of using LSI keywords is that your post can rank on Google for multiple keywords.
How to find LSI keywords?
There are many free tools through which you can find LSI keywords such as LSIgraph, Answer the public, Google Keyword Planner, and many more.
Where to use LSI keywords?
You can use LSI keywords anywhere on the page but it will be great if you can use these keywords in the following places-
Title
Subheadings.
Meta description
Alt text
And , Obviously in the content.
Bonus- Beaware of keyword stuffing. Don’t use your keywords more than 2% ( max ) in the article.
Readability
Before publishing please check the readability of your post. There is no need of writing a quality post if it is not understandable.
There are many tools out there to check Readability. I personally use Hemingway App. Try your best to get a Grade 9.
Bonus Tip- Install Grammarly extension to avoid spelling and grammar mistakes in your content.
Image Optimization
Without images there is no meaning of quality content.
People love consuming information through visuals. Please don’t copy/paste images directly from Google. ( give credit if you are copying the image).
Add screenshots, charts, graphs and infographics ( available at the end of my every post, infographic conclusion).
Adding infographic increase audience engagement, shares, and also the number of quality backlinks.
Alt text
Alternative text is the description of the image. What will happen if I don’t add a alt text?
Search Engine Crawler will find it difficult to understand your uploaded image.
It will not be indexed in Google images.
If by chance the images don’t appear in the user device, nothing will be shown ( because there is no alt text).
While uploading your image, save the image with the right title like- LSI-keywords.jpg not image.jpg. and alt text can be ‘LSI graph keyword suggestions’.
Ultimate hacks to image optimization
Install a WP Smush or ShortPixel plugin ( if using WordPress platform), otherwise, compress the image before uploading ( great if the size is less than 100 KB).
You can add as many images in your post ( one image every 150 words).
Images with people faces are likely to get more engagement.
Use the Canva (free) tool to create your own images. You can download free images from pixabay, Shutterstock, etc.
Meta Description
The next thing people read after title on Search Engine Result Pages is meta description. It is a small overview of the post.
Include your keywords in the meta description.
Write engaging meta description like the title. ( give a great overview)
Don’t exceed the maximum limit ( max 160 characters).
Optimize URLs
The address of the page is known as URL ( permalink).
How to optimize URLs?
Write short URLs, ( only your main keyword)
Write your permalink carefully because permalink can’t be changed ( if changed your whole traffic will be lost).
Don’t include stop words ( a , the, is , in etc.)
Linking Optimization
Linking is very important to increase crawl depth and boost your ranking. There are two type of links- Internal and External.
Internal Links- Connecting your post with your another blog post is called Internal Linking.
External Links- Connecting your post with another’s website blog post is called external linking.
Link externally to high-authority websites.
Link internally to relevant blog posts. Don’t just add internal link if there is no relevant connection between the posts.
Add links between the content. Don’t write separate lines or words for adding links.( like Click here, buy etc.).
Anchor text should be relevant.
How many links we should add in a post? See, there is no ideal number of links but add at least 4-5 internal and external links.
Mobile Optimization
About 70% of the users access the internet through mobile. So, if your website is not mobile-friendly then it’s difficult for you to rank on top.
Architecture- Make your website responsive. Choose a mobile-friendly theme that also loads fast.
A page builder is also required to make your theme responsive. Don’t rely on free themes. You have to invest some money on the page builder and a mobile-friendly theme.
So, If you want value for money theme then I suggest you purchase Divi from Elegant themes ( contains builder, themes for unlimited websites, and many features in just $89 $70 from my affiliate link) . Get 20% Instant Discount on Divi
Increase the font size of your theme. Increase the size of the buttons you use on your website.
Whenever you customize your theme, see how it looks in the mobile through the mobile view button.
But what happen if your site is mobile optimized but the loading speed is slow. ( shocking)
Here premium theme will obviously help you but How to boost your page speed?
First, of all, you should have a powerful and speedy hosting. For this, I personally use and recommend Siteground hosting ( free cache plugin and many other features at low prices).
For increasing my site speed I personally use Nitropack. ( alternatives are W3 Total Cache , wp rocket, etc.).
Snippets
Featured Snippet
It is a special box that appears on the top of search engine result pages containing text description above the link.
When the user types a query and get the answer directly from this box.
Only 12.3 % of search queries have featured snippets.
Featured snippet steal clicks ( up to 4-5%).
Try to reach that position and get featured.
Include a question in a subheading and answer directly after that in your post. ( main query )
Rich Snippets
More information than normal snippet ( look nicer). Rich snippets can affect your ranking in long term. ( High CTR)
Google takes rich snippets from the schema markup.
Schema markup options are provided by many seo plugins but I recommend you to use Rank Math SEO plugin.
Bonus # Rank Math FAQ Schema
Add Frequently Asked Questions Schema in your post. This also helps to boost your ranking. ( good in terms of seo)
Write questions and answers in this schema.
Take questions from Quora and Google SERPs.
Improves the visibility and authority of your website.
Create a XML sitemap and submit in Google Search Console. ( automatic if you have installed SEO plugin).
Your content, meta description, titles should be unique.
Bonus
Promotion
Promote your content like crazy on different social platforms ( quora, facebook, instagram, twitter, pinterest etc.)
The most important strategy to get traffic on your post is promoting your post through sending e-mails ( e-mail marketing.)
Fact- Brain Dean Founder of Backlinko spends 20% time in content writing and 80% time in promoting that content.
SEMrush SEO content template tool
What if you can know how many words article you should write, what should be the readability score, length of title, type of keywords and many more so that you can beat your competitors?
Then Use SEMrush SEO content template tool which gives you suggestions based on top 10 pages ranking for that particular keyword.
What are the best tools used to generate SEO friendly content?
SEMrush Keyword Magic Tool SEMrush SEO content template tool Readability checker LSI graph tool SEMrush Site Audit Tool Grammarly Canva, Visme etc. Content designing tools. Headline analyzer ( Coschedule) Blog post title and ideas generator Rank Math SEO plugin
What is SEO friendly content?

What type of content is best for SEO?

Hey, looking for top WordPress SEO plugin ( WordPress Rank Math Review) that can help you to rank on top of Google, then you are on the right place.

Yoast SEO plugin, Rank Math seo plugin and All in one SEO plugin. The race was in 3 rounds.
1st round– On basis of rating and reviews, 2nd round– On the basis of features 3rd round-Tool is free or not.

So, I decided to make a Rank Math review because I am also using this plugin and got positive results.

If you are firstly installing this plugin then there will be no option of import but if you have already installed another SEO plugin ( Yoast SEO in my case), Then click on Start Import and the whole data will be imported in Rank Math SEO plugin from another seo plugin
Your site settings
You can add a logo for Google. No need to touch other options ( You can skip this step also).
Google Search Console
Directly connect this plugin with Google Search Console ( great option). Click on Get Authorization Code. A pop up will appear, choose your Gmail Id. Then a code will appear, paste it into this application. After that click on Save and continue. If you have not connected your site with Google Search console then see- Verification of Google search console of your blog.

Rank Math SEO setting and features
The best thing that I like of this plugin is that it provide so many features and a great user-interface.
This is the dashboard of Rank Math SEO plugin. Let’s explore its options.
AMP
AMP ( accelerated mobile pages). AMP plugin makes your site mobile-friendly.
As you know mobile-users are increasing day-by-day, so making your site mobile-friendly will help your site to rank faster on Google.
So, Install AMP plugin and keep this Option ON.
Link Counter
It counts your blog post internal and external links. When you activate this option, you can see the link counts from the SEO option in your WordPress dashboard posts option like this-
By counting the external links you can easily check if there is any broken link or not. Broken links have a negative impact on your ranking.
Rank Math Schema
Schema means structured data ( Rich Snippets). When you add schema in any post it attracts the users and helps to boost your Google ranking.
You can select a schema type ( book, articles, event, music and many more). After that you can add headline, author name, ratings and review location.
Rank Math Search Console option
As above we have already connected rank math with Google Search Console. Keep this option active.
You will get all the information related to search console in your WordPress dashboard ( like- for which keywords you are ranking, impressions , clicks and many more).
Rank Math SEO analysis
Analyze your content and website using 70+ tests and provide you a SEO score ( failed testes, warning and passed tests).
Some times it happens that your post , page or any site URL shows 404 error code. So, If you activate this option it records and provide you the information of those URLs.
Redirections by Rank Math
It happens sometimes that we have to move the content to a different URL. Redirection is important to provide the information to search engine crawler.
Rank Math redirection option automatically redirects non-existing content with 301 (permanent redirection) and 302 (temporary redirection)
Rank Math Sitemap option
As the name suggests Site+map means the map (organization) of your site.
It helps the search engine crawler to crawl your website content easily ( intelligently).
Keep this Option Active ( It’s very important).
Rank Math Woocommerce option
This option helps to optimize your Woocommerce pages by adding schema and meta data.
Boost your site ranking. ( Make it easy to rank in SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).
Image SEO
If you don’t have time or habit to add alt attribute to your images then rank math image seo option is for you.
This option automatically insert alt and title attributes in your images. ( keep on checking the automated alt text).
Post Optimization through Rank Math
Open your post that you want to optimize with rank math. You will see a small box in the header ( exterme right), click on it.
Four option will appear- General, Advanced, Schema and Social.
General
In the General option, Click on Edit Snippet and you will see a popup will appear like this-
Add title ( maximum 60 characters) of your post.
Add Permalink ( URL) of your post (maximum 75 characters).
Add a meta description ( overview) of your post ( maximum 160 characters).
Focus keyword and SEO
Add your focus( main) keyword of the post,
The best thing that I like in this plugin is that we can add up to 5 keywords and while adding keywords it also provides keyword suggestions.
Why adding focus keywords is important?- If you don’t tell rank math what to cook then how your SEO recipe will be ready.
I recommend you to don’t touch advanced option , if you want to add schema (as we already talked about ) then you can add it from schema option.
Let’s directly move to Social option.
Social
Click on Preview and Edit Social Media, a pop up will appear.
From here you can share your post on social media platforms.
Add a image, edit the title and description and share the post.
How to pass in Rank Math SEO test?
Does high Rank Math SEO score means high ranking?-
No, it’s not true. Having a 100/100 score doesn’t means that you will rank high on Google.
But your post should have a score of at least 80/100.
Your main goal should not have a high score but it should be using the right keywords ( related LSI keywords ) and writing high-quality content.
How to have a high SEO score in Rank Math SEO plugin-
Write catchy titles. Use power words ( ultimate, hack, best, how-to, etc), numbers in your title. Include your focus keyword at the beginning of the title.
Include your focus keyword in the meta description ( write a great engaging overview).
Include your keyword in the alt text.
Write short URLs ( only your focus keyword).
Include your keywords in the subheading.
Internal and External Linking ( link to high authority websites).
Include images and videos.
Write short paragraphs ( maximum 3-4 sentences).
Include your focus keyword in the introduction and LSI keywords in the content ( beware of keyword stuffing).
Content length should be at least 1000 words. ( 1500-2500 words great) ( above 2500 words excellent).
As I said above that I conducted a race between these seo plugins. Yoast SEO wins only in 1st round ( rating and downloads) while 2nd (features) and 3rd round ( free) winner was rank math seo plugin.
But How? Let’s see-
Yoast SEO doesn’t provide a 404 monitor option even in their premium version.
AMP feature is provided in the premium version of the Yoast SEO plugin.
Similarly Link Counter, Redirection, Search Console and Image optimization features are available in Rank Math but not in Yoast SEO
You can optimize for 5 keywords in rank math SEO but only 1 keyword is allowed in Yoast SEO ( more keywords in premium version)
The biggest pro of Rank math SEO plugin is that it provides so many features for FREE.
