Create a professional Blogger blog (detailed guide) 2024
Why Blogger?
Before creating a blog is always the most important, as the foundations upon which your home is built are the most important step that you must take care of, and your foundations in the field of blogging are ideas and hard work. In order to create a blog, whether it is Blogger, WordPress, or on any other platform, you must first conjure in your mind a clear image of what it looks like. Your blog. I know that you are here to find simple steps to create your own Blogger blog, but if you do not keep that clear image in your mind, you will never succeed in this field, and it is better not to enter it in the first place.
Now you have reviewed an image of your blog and chosen the topics that you will write on your blog, right?!
– Go now to Namecheap and buy a domain for your blog at a price of $8.5 per year (the domain is the name of the site, for example, google.com – facebook.com).
The domain is very important in many matters that we will mention in advance, whether profit or professionalism.
– After you have purchased the domain for your Blogger blog, let us now move to:
Steps to create a professional Blogger blog
In order to create a free blog on Blogger, type blogger on Google or go to it through this link
to Blogger , and this window will appear for you.
* Click on
Create your blog* A window will appear asking you for your email and password. Write them to display this window.
* In the place indicated by the blue arrow, write your name that you would like to appear to readers on your blog
* Then click on Continue to Blogger
After clicking on Follow to Blogger, the following window will appear for you
* Click on Create a new blog indicated by the blue arrow.
3 – Choose a name for your blog and a link to your blog.
This step, although simple, is very important if you will continue blogging with a free domain (which I do not recommend at all).
In this step, you will choose a name for your blog, which is like the name of the blog you are reading now (Profit Expert), and you will write this name in the (Form Name) box.
After that, we will choose a subdomain (a free Blogger domain). If you want to create a professional blog, do not You must continue with this domain, but if you do not have the money to buy the domain, I advise you to earn some money and then start blogging when you buy the domain, but in this case we will choose to add a domain, and if you buy a domain, there is no importance for this domain name, so choose anything .
In place number 1:
Write the name of your blog* When choosing a name for your blog, it is preferable that the blog not be in your personal name and that it be related to the field in which you write. However, if you are going to use the blog as a marketing project for you, it is preferable that it be in your personal name.
* It is also preferable that the name be easy so that visitors can remember it.
4- Choose a template for your blog.
Choosing a professional template is the most important step now to appear professional. The template is the appearance that your followers see. Imagine with me now that you enter my blog to find the elements overlapping and you cannot reach what you want or the colors are inconsistent. You will exit and will not return to it. Once again right?!
This is what you should think about now. A professional blog appears professional from its appearance because that is the first impression of the visitor. You liked my blog when you entered it. I am sure of that, and therefore I strongly invite you to pay attention to the template of your blog and choose the appropriate template.
In place number 3(in the picture above): Choose a default Blogger template for your blog. You can change the template for your blog at any time after that.
Adding a professional template now is the basic step that we need to focus on, but after creating the entire blog.
At number 4:
Click on Create a blog to display this window
– Now all you have to do is go to one of the template sites , buy one of the professional templates, and install it on your blog. Thus, you have created a professional Blogger blog, and all you have to do now is start blogging and publishing good content. You can choose one of the professional Blogger templates from this list. Choose what suits you and purchase it, or download the free version and start using it. After you have purchased or downloaded the template, now go to how to install the Blogger template correctly
