Do you need help with the first steps of starting a blog?
Are you overwhelmed by all the information and would love a step by step plan?
Starting a blog is very much like having a little baby. It takes planning and preparation for a successful labor day, I mean blog launch day! My mission is to help you through this blogging journey. I want to set you up for huge success. And success comes with having the right foundation, the right plan. You need a plan that gives you the first steps to starting a blog.
Do you remember your pregnancy? The ups and downs? The happy parts, the tired parts, the super sad parts? Blogging is similar to a 9 month pregnancy. It takes time to plan for your blog baby, to prepare for it. You have to set time apart, nurture it and watch it grow.
I want to help you relate your past pregnancy journey with a plan for your blog.
 
The First Steps to Starting a Blog – Can You Relate to the Struggles?
I’ve received so many emails stating.
“I think it’s time for me to get started. I’m a little scared and intimidated, though…., once I figure what my first steps are.”
“I just started a blog so I am totally lost at what exactly to do lol!!”
“I am still a little lost on how to start especially with all the other things and planning going through my head.”
“I have absolutely no idea where to start!!!”
Remember the doubts when you were pregnant? Am I up to the task? Will I be any good at this? My mom is awesome, but what if I’m not? Or that other blogger is amazing, I’ll never be able to create a blog like that. I don’t know if I can do this? And a million others, sometimes at 2:00 am while watching reruns of your favorite shows on Netflix.
And then someone you know and trusted would tick off all the areas where you excel. They could give you confidence that you can do this. They would remind you of all the things you could do, all the talents that you forgot in the haze of pregnancy. And you were okay. I want to be your help during this time of starting a blog. If you complete the steps below you’ll be set up for a very successful blog launch!
I am passionate to give you a step by step plan for not just creating your blog and helping you through the technical side of it through my blogging course for moms, but to actually help you set your foundation.
With your pregnancy you had a plan. You had 9 months to prepare for this little blessing. So why not prepare the same way for your blog baby? But instead of 9 months, we’ll do it in 9 days.
You can do not have to do these 9 steps consecutively, (you can skip a day here and there), but you do have to do them in this order.
