<p><img src="http://www.problogit.com/home/wp-content/files/2009/04/2009-04-ten-points-summary-guide.gif" alt="2009-04-ten-points-summary-guide" title="2009-04-ten-points-summary-guide" width="240" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-40" />It has been almost three weeks when I started problogging and wrote some tips and ideas on how to start a blog, how to set up a blog, and how to promote a blog.  Let me make a summary guide to what I have written for the past three weeks.<br />
Before I started problogging, I said I did not have any plan but I realized that I actually have some unwritten plans. I just did not have a detailed written plan but only unwritten ones. Those plans were the ideas at the back of my head which encourage me to start problogging.</p>
<p>If you also have those unwritten plans at the back your head, why don&#8217;t you start problogging too?  Why don&#8217;t you start planning and implementing what you have planned so far?  Why don&#8217;t you map our your plan, and make it a reality?</p>
<p><span id="more-39"></span></p>
<h3>Ten (10) Points to guide you to Starting and Implementing a Blog</h3>
<h3>1.  Plan and Start a Blog</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/starting-a-blog/20090404/planning-and-starting-a-blog/">Planning and Starting a Blog.</a>  There are requirements when starting a blog.  If you start planning and starting a blog, it is not just about planning and starting a blog, it is also about choosing a topic or niche, about defining your niche.</p>
<p>You can either start a blog with a certain topic or a niche or write just about anything you would like to discuss.  But if you are good at something, it is better to concentrate on your defined subjects and later on just inject once in a while writing about yourself and your hobbies for a little variety.</p>
<h3>2.  Have your own Domain Name</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/domain/20090406/domain-name-or-free-subdomain-name/">Domain Name or Free Subdomain Name.</a>  There are advantages and disadvantages of having your own domain name or having a free subdomain name.  But if you are serious about your problogging venture, having your own domain name is a better option.</p>
<h3>3.  Choose a good Domain Name</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/domain/20090407/choosing-a-good-domain-name/">Choosing a good Domain Name.</a>  Making a choice is critical when you decide to have your own domain name.  What top-level domain name is better?  What second-level domain name is good?  The &#8220;com&#8221; top-level domain name is always better unless if you have no more option but to go for the &#8220;net&#8221;, but think about it a couple of times first.</p>
<h3>4.  Register your Domain Name</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/domain/20090408/registering-a-domain-name/">Registering a Domain Name.</a>  Why is it better to register your own domain name instead of availing the free domain registration provided by the web host if ever you decide to have a self-hosted blog rather than having a free-hosted blog?  It is the freedom and the control you will have over your own domain name.</p>
<h3>5.  Have a Web Host</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/web-hosting/20090414/choosing-a-web-host/">Choosing a Web Host.</a>  There are different requirements in choosing a web host.  There are a  lot of features a web host can offer.  What you think do you need among the good features they have?  Even if you are new to the idea of having a paid web host, you can experiment with your control panel until you will be able to know how it works.  Having a paid web host gives you more freedom to do whatever you like with your blog.  Just do not abuse it if you have unlimited storage and bandwidth.</p>
<h3>6.  Set up a Blog</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/setting-up-a-blog/20090415/setting-up-a-blog/">Setting Up a Blog.</a>  Setting up a blog is an investment.  Investing money in something would give you a reason to do problogging seriously. When setting up a blog, what are the possible pages that you can create for your blog, and before you even start writing content for your blog?   </p>
<h3>7.  Write Content for your Blog</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/content-writing/20090416/start-writing-content-for-your-blog/">Start Writing Content for your Blog.</a>  Contents are important for your blog, so start writing content for your blog. How are you supposed to know if you will be successful in problogging if you will not give it a try?  How are you supposed to know if you will make money problogging, if you will not invest some of your time, effort and energy in writing content?  How are you supposed to know if you will earn money online if you do not have any contents in your blog?  If you will not start writing content for your blog, then people have nothing to read.  But how do you start writing content for your blog when you think that there is nothing you can think of to write about?  </p>
<h3>8.  Remember your Niche and Market</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/content-writing/20090420/things-to-remember-when-writing-content-for-a-blog/">Things to remember when Writing Content for a Blog.</a>  Think of your niche when you are writing content for your blog.  Always remember your niche and market, your target readers, so as not to digress from the topic that you are supposed to discuss.  List the possible subtopics or specific topics under your main topics.  Watch a television, read a phrase in a book, and start expounding on what you saw and read. </p>
<h3>9.  Promote your Blog</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/blog-promotion/20090421/ways-on-promoting-a-blog/">Ways on Promoting a Blog.</a>  There are several ways on promoting your blog, from search engines to social media like the social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, blog networks, and all the other possibilities that you can think of on how to promote your blog.</p>
<h3>10.  Know your Web Statistics, Blog Traffic and Site Visitors</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/google-analytics/20090422/how-to-know-your-web-statistics-blog-traffic-and-site-visitors/">How to know your Web Statistics, Blog Traffic and Site Visitors?</a>  How would you know if you indeed have visitors in your blog.  For you to know the details is for you to have a website statistics tracking tool or web monitoring tool for your blog.  Google Analytics is one example of a web statistics analyzer that I have recommended.  With web analytics you will know which pages are often visited and what keywords brought your visitors to your blog.    </p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  Everything has been set up. It is time to move on to earning money problogging.  It is time to explore making money online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/starting-a-blog/20090404/planning-and-starting-a-blog/">Planning and Starting a Blog</a> &raquo; Post from &copy; ProBlogit.com &raquo; <a href="http://www.problogit.com">Pro Blog it | ProBlogging Venture, Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions</a>.  <br /></p>
<p>I have written on my past blog entry that I have no plan when I decided to venture into problogging.  This morning I asked myself if I really do not have a plan.  I realized that I actually have some plans. I thought that I actually do not have a written detailed plan but I have some unwritten plans.  They are just in my mind that most of us probably have.  We do not have a written detailed plan but only unwritten ones at the back of our head.</p>
<p><strong>So what are some of my unwritten and now written plans?</strong></p>
<p>I plan to write about whatever I have done so far with regard to problogging.<br />
I plan to write or update this problogging blog at least once a day.<br />
I plan to share some problogging tips and ideas as well as reviews and opinions.<br />
I plan to start another blog aside from this problogging blog.</p>
<p><span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p><strong>What are the things that I already implemented?</strong></p>
<p>I bought a new domain name only for this purpose.<br />
I created a web design for this blog instead of using a template designed by another web designer.<br />
I am already monetizing this blog but it is not earning at the moment.</p>
<p>My plans were and are very simple.  I do not want to plan so extensively as I do not like to be disappointed and frustrated along the way.</p>
<p><strong>Why I plan to start another blog if I already have this blog?</strong></p>
<p>As I see it, I will most likely not earn from this blog because the target readers of this blog are bloggers like myself.  Most of the bloggers do not click on the ads anymore, assuming that I only have Google AdSense in this blog.  If most of the bloggers are not doing that, how can I possibly earn from ads.  So I thought that I need to create a blog where the target readers are not just bloggers but other internet surfers who are looking for information on the net.</p>
<p>I can start a new blog with a certain topic or what most bloggers call is a niche.  If I will start a blog with a niche, I must be at least an expert on that topic.  I am not an expert of everything but I know that I am good at some other things.  I can say that at least I know a little of everything.  With that, I thought of just starting a new blog and write just about anything I know and anything I like.  Eventually I hope that I will become an expert or a specialist of something.</p>
<p>Another alternative would be, I can make use of my current websites and convert them into blogs.  I can also just make use of the other websites and other blogs, improve and update them regularly by writing and publishing articles on a daily basis or probably every other day.</p>
<p><strong>If I have to start a new blog, how am I going to do it then?</strong></p>
<p>Well, I came up of my own requirements before I can start a new blog.  One requirement that I would like to impose upon myself is that, I must write about what I like to write and not just write for the readers.  I thought that how can I possibly come up of a nice article if I just write for the readers and not for myself.  Writing content and blogging should be fun.  My readers and I should enjoy reading the article that I write aside from learning from it.</p>
<p>Before I end this, let me give you my other requirements to start a blog.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements to start a blog:</strong></p>
<p>Domain Name or Subdomain Name<br />
Paid Web Hosting or Free Web Hosting<br />
Blog Topics and Ideas<br />
Time, Effort and Energy<br />
Patience and Perseverance<br />
Content Writing Skills<br />
Aims, Goals and Vision</p>
<p>With regard to writing skills, in a way it is not a must in today&#8217;s blogging world although a lot would still argue with me that it is a must.  We might not be so skillful in writing but we know that as long as we have the time, the effort, the energy, the patience, and the perseverance to learn, we can definitely make things happen.</p>
<p>Regarding other topics, I will write about the details of the other requirements in starting a blog in the next few days. For the meantime, let us relax and enjoy.  Have a great weekend!</p>
