• Define a Niche. The role of the niche is very crucial in creating a blog. Therefore, do not be in a hurry to determine it. It is recommended to do some research first. One way to create an interesting blog is to review topics you like. You enjoy doing it more and the results will also be better. Audiences will feel satisfied every time they read your posts.

• Niche is a topic or area that is the main focus of your blog. For example, you work as a School Operator. So, niche blogs will tend to talk about the world of data collection. Because the topic of the data collection world is very broad, look for something specific. You can review the Data Collection Application (Dapodik) or just about tips and tricks.

• Choose Web Hosting. A blogging platform is a software or service for publishing blogs and their content. There are two types of platforms, namely free platforms and self-hosted platforms. Beginners who want to know how to create a free and easy blog can choose a free platform. However, like a free service, this platform has limitations and rules that must be adhered to. In addition to using the platform subdomain behind the blog's URL (yourblog.blogspot.com), you also cannot remove or disable ads installed on the blog. Inevitably you have to accept the existence of this ad even though it is not in accordance with the concept of the blog or even cannot be cashed. If you want more freedom in controlling your ads as well as URLs, it is recommended to create a blog on a self-hosted platform.

• Registering a Domain Name. The unique URL address that each website has is called a domain name. Since the domain name determines the success of your blog, there are many things to consider.

• Publishing Content and Building a Blog. Create informative and useful content for your target audience. Never publish content that you don't master or you don't have time to research or learn more about. As a blogger, of course you hope that readers will continue to visit your blog. Apart from ensuring quality content, you also have to be creative. To make it interesting, add photos, graphics, or other visual media that match your writing style to the content or posts. Activate the comment field on each post so readers can communicate virtually with you. Ask for opinions or suggestions and criticism about posts or what they want to read later on your blog.

• When creating content, don't immediately expect the blog to be crowded. One post takes a long time to appear on the start page of a search engine like Google. However, this should not dampen your spirits. Keep making quality posts. Little by little, build a blog that offers solutions for its readers.

• Promoting Blogs. Because the appearance of posts on the front page of Google takes a long time, the existence of your blog becomes difficult to know.
