What to Expect Your First Month of Blogging

If you’re brand new to this “blogging” think the first month is where you will have your first challenging time. I think it’s honestly where most people quit. They quit because they don’t have a plan for blog success. The first challenge you actually have is setting your blog up the first time, getting a theme you like, and learning your way around your blog. I wrote my Best Practices Guide for WordPress Setup based on this challenging situation. The next issue you have is posting content, and create quality consistent content that people will read. My answer to “what to expect” your first month blogging is “a lot of work“! Whatever you get, you get, but dont expect much of anything your first month of blogging in terms of visits or money. Think of it as the first month on the job or first term at school. You’re still trying to get acclimated to how things work.

Here’s a (very) short list of things to think about the first month:

  • Does your blog have a (topic) theme?
  • Did you ask a few friend or fellow bloggers to test it and give you feedback?
  • Is your blog sluggish, or do the pages load fast?
  • Did you post a least 2-3 times per week each and every week?
  • Do you have a contact page and about page?
  • Are you tracking stats somehow, like google analytics?
  • When you type your domain name in google – do you get results yet?
