  1. Pick the Right Niche : Choose a niche you want to write about, stick to things you like to talk about. It will make it much easier for you to continue to write fresh content. Now do some keyword research to see if your new niche is popular. Use Google AdWords Tool to find keywords in your niche that have at least a 5,000 volume a month.
  1. Domain Names Matter : A domain name is a significant factor that Google looks at when it ranks your blog. Choose a domain name that matches with your main keyword. If your niche is pet clothes, then a good name would be pet clothes.com. Also if possible, go with a .com, that's what people remember.
  1. Page and Post SEO : SEO means Search Engine Optimization and you will want to learn the basics of this while you start your blog. First, you want to get a list of your top 5-10 keywords; you will use each one on each page title, and on the title of your blog. Now when writing a new post, use each of your keywords you want to rank for in the title, in your tags, and finally use that keyword in your post three times, the first sentence, in the middle and at the end.
  1. Write Unique Content : Now it is time to fill your blog with quality unique content. It will have the biggest impact on your new blog. Google loves fresh and unique content and will rank you higher, which will drive more organic traffic to your blog.
  1. Market your blog : When you have plenty of writing on your blog, then it’s time to market your blog. This way, when the visitors come, at least they have a short archive to read rather than one pathetic post. You can market your blog in different ways, and the best way is to go around finding blogs on the same topic and start posting your valuable comments on their posts. Strive to add value, don't spam.
  1. Keep updating : Keep updating your blog on a regular basis, respond to comments. As you start to write, you will start to write better, and slowly you will start to create a writing personality. At the same time, keep up with the marketing, keep surfing around for blogs and commenting. Also, observe how people craft their posts, and do your best to write better posts that would entice comments. Soon, you will find reader coming back every day for updates!
Hopefully, these six steps have enlightened you on how to start a blog and attract readers. Setting up your blog is a great start, but you won't get any traffic if you don't promote it. Get ready to share your thoughts with the world as you interact with your audience. Welcome to the blogging world, enjoy!
