Want to Start Blogging?

I was very intimidated to start my first blog. Oh how I wish I had a Mentor that shared their Blogging Tips from the Start and Resources. No worries- I have it summarized blogging tips for you and resources that will also help you pay for your blog expenses as you grow!

Cleanly Consumed

It all starts with 5 Basic Blogging Tips!

Identify your Niche. I’ve seen tons of different themes: Food, Fashion, Photography, Children, Teaching and some really fine niche ideas like hamster cages, followers of favorite designers and children’s fashion designers that sell their pattern downloads right on their site!
Come up with a Name! Check the availability of your name on all platforms- Domain, Email and all Social Media Platforms.
Select your Colors. Selecting a color theme- 1 main color and complimentary shades of colors to go along with that. There are color palettes you can purchase on-line but having a idea in mind will help you make a decision.
What is the goal for your Site? Are you creating your blog for fun- hobby, or to grow into earning passive income or supporting an existing business? Take some time to start a journal and write down some goals to help you stay on track.
Set it in motion! If you are just getting started I would highly recommend Suzi with Start a Mom Blog. Continue reading for more on her program below. If you are seasoned and would like a new look or help with refreshing your site I have links for designers I have used below. HAVE FUN!

*Bonus Blogging Tip- Do Not.. repeating this… Do Not aim for perfection. We are not perfect and with time your blog will grow, change and become exactly what you want it to be!

Below are few things, people and resources that helped me along the way. Blogging Tips and simple ways to start a blog.. and fast!
