This is a question which i get more often than anything else. I would say this is my most requested post. How to start a blog? How to start a food blog? How to earn from a blog?
I know everyone wants to start a career specially mothers who have a little time on their hand when they are equally busy looking after their little one.
You want to start a career or earn some money when you are still at home looking after your kids. I would say if you are looking for a home based job then blogging is the most trending one.
Starting a blog is not rocket science. It hardly takes 10 mins to start a blog. But before starting a blog you have to ask yourself these questions.
1)Why do you want to start a blog?
2)What is your passion?
3)Are you starting this blog thinking about the money you are going to earn?
Now lets answer these questions.
1)Why do you want to start a blog?
If you are really passionate about something. Lets say about cooking, food or even makeup. You want to share your passion with the world. You really want your passion to shine.
2)What is your passion?
Identify your passion. Without a proper niche you cannot start a blog.
3)Are you starting this blog thinking about the money you are going to earn?
If you are thinking about money when you are starting this blog, then i would say it is hard to continue this blog. Because earning from blog takes lots of time. So if you are money minded when you are starting this blog then it can be a tiresome process.
I have made a tamil video about how to start a blog on my youtube channel. You can check it.
How to Start a free blog?
When you are starting a blog, you can start a free blog on blogger.com or wordpress.com
Starting a blog in blogger.com is very easy. You just need a email id and follow the process.
If you are starting a professional blog then you can go with wordpress. You have to buy domian name, a hosting server. You can do it by yourselves. But i am not a tech person. So i hired a professional to do it.
I have used bluehost hosting services for years now. I have had no issues at all so far. Their customer support is also good.

My Blogging Journey?
I started this blog “Yummy Tummy” 8 years back. I started in blogger.com. It is a free platform. I have been blogging in blogger.com for almost 5 tears. It is around 2 years back i decided to move to wordpress.
I am not a tech person. So i hired a professional in my place to help me move from blogger to wordpress. After lots of research i picked wibits web solutions from nagercoil to do the job.
I was worried how the process of moving would go. Because My site was a heavy site with lots of images. But they did a wonderful job.
I was worried about the traffic loss, downtime during the move. But they planned it accordingly that i didnt have much down time and also i didnt get loss in my traffic after the move as well.
If you are planning to start a professional website, or looking for someone to move your existing blog from blogger to wordpress or Looking for SEO work. Then i strongly recommend wibits web solutions.
Here is their contact details. (This is not a sponsored post BTW)

After the move i concentrated more on the content and i kept on updating the blog every day for the growth. After your move to wordpress you might need a support team for maintaining the site. If you are a tech person you might be able to do it by yourselves. But i am not a techie so i hired”Host my blog”to do the job. But i am pretty sure that wibits have support team as well.
